Start your day right with my scrumptious, completely plant-based Crunchy Coconut Granola. Most cereals contain ridiculously high amounts of refined sugar with very little nutritional value. And boujee bags of granola, while yummy, can cost a small fortune. So why not make your own line of delicious breakfast granolas?!
I love pistachio nuts for their vibrant colour, delicious flavour and nutrient rich properties - but you can use any type of nut - almonds, cashews, macadamia, walnuts…go nuts! You could also swap the raisins and dates for dried cranberries, figs, apricots… so many combinations!
Serve with Greek-style yoghurt and fresh fruit for a delicious start to your day.
