OK, mister, drop the coffeecake brick. Step away from the scone. And hand over that venti Frappuccino. Starbucks has just made their grab 'n' go breakfasts a little healthier.  Among the selections:

• Perfect Oatmeal: Vitamin and mineral fortified, with your choice of dried fruit, nuts or brown sugar. (140 calories for oatmeal only; extras are ... extra!)
• Chewy Fruit & Nut Bar: Made with fruit, oats, nuts and honey. (250 calories)
• Apple Bran Muffin: A good source of fiber (7 grams), baked with dried cherries and apple. (330 calories)
• Power Protein Plate: Cheddar cheese, fresh fruit, hard-boiled cage-free egg, whole-wheat bagel and peanut butter. (330 calories)

There are other breakfast selections; you can even get fiber and whey protein added to a latte. For a complete list, check Starbucks.com.
