"Sure I eat what I advertise. Sure I eat Wheaties for breakfast. A good bowl of Wheaties with bourbon can't be beat."

The refrigerator light goes on...

A smoothie can make a great breakfast if you're on the run and only have a few seconds. Use a base of non-fat yogurt for a good protein source and a lot of fruit for good carbs and fiber. I like using papaya or mango juice because they gives a good thick texture and are easy on the stomach.

Applesauce

The Bran Muffin recipe is one of the few baking recipes that I feel applesauce works well. Many recipes use applesauce to replace fat. However, because fat helps trap the air released by leavening agents (in this case the baking powder), using applesauce results in a denser and moister recipe. I like these muffins for that reason but notice that there is still use of an egg and grapeseed oil; the recipe doesn’t rely solely on the applesauce. 

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce = 52 calories, 0g fat, 0g sat fat, 0g mono fat, 0g protein, 14g carbohydrates, 2mg sodium, 0mg cholesterol
