Introduction

This whole-foods breakfast keeps you full all morning! It takes a little preparation but it is worth it. You can find the whole grains pretty cheap in the bulk foods section at a health food store. They'll have the unsweetened dried fruits too, but probably in a refrigerated section. The concentrated fruit sugars in the dried fruit add enough sweetness that you won't need to add any extra sugars. This whole-foods breakfast keeps you full all morning!
