Fruity Muesli Bars
The pithy-sweet snack is the perfect remedy for that little hunger in between. Oats also contain a lot of soluble and insoluble fibre, which keeps the blood sugar level constant and counteracts constipation.
You can also prepare the muesli bars with a good vegetable margarine (80% fat - do not use low-fat varieties!) to reduce the cholesterol content.
