Raisins are very flexible and can be a part of every meal of the day. Adding them to oatmeal makes a balanced breakfast, with extra fiber to help keep your gut regular. If you enjoy baking, a cup of raisins can spice up muffins, sweet bread, and even cookies. Toss them in salads with fresh greens for lunch or dinner. Or mixed into compound dishes, like chicken salad or ham salad. If you enjoy couscous or quinoa, add half a cup of raisins to the mix. For a snack, mix raisins with nuts for a healthy trail mix - or just eat them alone. A children's favorite is "ants on a log" - celery topped with peanut butter and raisin.
