This summery power granola helps you start and finish your day strong, while helping you end it on a relaxing, rewarding note.
By Carolyng Gomes
All together, this mix has everything I need (protein, fiber and a touch of sweetness) without the things that I am trying to avoid (sugary dried fruits and calorie rich milk chocolate). The only thing I would consider adding to this is dark chocolate chips for their antioxidant aid and to add some creaminess to the mix. Otherwise, this is a go-to granola great on its own, in a bar or as part of a crumble.
