Ingredients
- 7 cups puffed whole grain cereal
- 3/4 cup dried cranberries
- 3/4 cup raisins or dried blueberries

- 2 Tbs. soy margarine or butter
Preparation
1. Stir together cereal, dried fruits and cinnamon in large bowl.
2. Place syrup, almond butter and soy margarine in large, microwave-safe measuring cup. Microwave 1 1/2 minutes on high, or until hot and margarine has melted. Stir well, then pour over cereal mixture. Stir to coat.
