When you need something instant for breakfast, having a jar of granola to hand can make life a little easier. It keeps for ages, and usually works out more economical than many 'artisan' gluten-free granola or muesli boxes you can buy.
If you like to start your day with a little bit of crunch then this is the breakfast for you. It’s not only tasty but there is a lot of goodness on offer here. The nuts and seeds provide healthy fats and fibre as well as other important nutrients which not only help to keep us full until our next meal, they also provide an energy boost.
Tuck in!
