It contains sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, rolled oats, wheat flakes, raisins, hazelnuts, dried apricots and dried apple slices. This has 100g carbs of which 33.4g is sugar.Another example on P83 is Cannellini Bean Brushetta on Ciabatta bread. This contains Cannellini Beans, tomatoes, ciabatta bread, and garlic. It has 74.8g cards of which 10.3g is sugarI'm very confused as to why these recipes are being touted as good for us when their carb/sugar count is so high? Or am i missing something here?Happy new year to you all for Tuesday by the way...thought I'd get that in early  <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Hampshire Lad</blockquote>
