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.

Fresh fruit trick

Dirty produce lasts longer. Don't wash fruits or veggies until right before you eat them to preserve their protective outer layer.
