Firefighter's Muesli Recipe

Last August, when the firemen in Chicago took part in the Smart Heart Challenge, it was over 100F, so many of them wanted something other than a bowl of hot oatmeal. Dave Grotto created this quick recipe that's high in fiber and hearty-healthy fat.

Ingredients
1 teaspoon honey
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1/2 to 1 cup skim milk or low-fat vanilla soy milk
2 tablespoons almonds, walnuts and pistachios (some of each)
1/4 cup mixed dried fruit
Instructions
1. Mix all ingredients and eat immediately or cover, refrigerate overnight
and eat the next day. Serves 1.

Recipe by Dave Grotto, a registered dietitian in Elmwood, Ill., "Relish the Healthy Table," February 2007.
