Health benefits:

In-case you need to justify eating more than one. Raisins are a good source of concentrated energy as well as high in antioxidants. The fats in peanut butter are said to lower bad cholesterol and higher good cholesterol, although it also states that obese people shouldn’t consume large quantities. And among other great things oats are a good source of dietary fibre and protein that is said to be equivalent with soy protein if that means anything to you!
