4. Cereal
I grew up with mild lactose intolerance so I shunned milk, but I liked dry cereals. I’d snack on them at recess instead of eating cereal as a breakfast food. Turns out, I’m not the only one in the habit of eating cereal without milk. “My favourite midmorning snack is 1/2 cup of high-fibre cereal,” says Hachey. “It has enough crunch to satisfy my craving, and fibre to keep me satisfied until my next meal.” You can have it on its own, or combine it with low-fat yogurt, she says. Hachey suggests choosing a cereal that has at least six grams of fibre per serving, and less than ten grams of added sugar. Here’s the healthiest cereal to buy in Canada.
