Try It Bite #3

Use fruit and a multi-grain or whole wheat
batter to create a healthier breakfast.
If you kids like frozen waffles or you make pancakes or French toast on the weekend, instead of smothering it in syrup, which has 420 calories in a 1/2 cup serving, open a bag of frozen raspberries, blackberries, or blueberries, or combine all three, and warm them in a pan using about 1/2c of fruit and 3T of syrup per person for a frozen waffle and up to 1/4c for a larger meal.  Thus, you still get the sweet of the syrup, but with fewer calories and the added taste and nutrition of the fruit.
(Of course, it goes without saying that all of this is on top of a whole grain waffle or wheat bread if you made French toast!)
