Summary: These outstanding recipes will make you see (and taste) granola in a whole new light.
When most people think of granola, they think of healthy gross food that hippies like to eat, but really should be for birds. Well, it’s time to change your mind about this healthy, nutritious snack. Before you go all crazy, it’s important to remember portion sizes when it comes to granola. Although it’s usually made up of very healthy ingredients, it’s also fairly calorie dense. This trait makes it perfect for a quick snack when you’re on the go, whether at the office, traveling, or on a hike. However, being calorie dense can also mean you’re eating far more calories than you need without noticing!
Some of the best ways to eat granola are to put it in baggies to take with you when traveling, or use it as a topping on yogurt, oatmeal, or smoothies. Since store-bought granola can often be pricey and filled with unnecessary sugars, here are ten recipes that you can easily make at home. Choose one that sounds the most delicious to you and get started! Before you know it you’ll be hooked. No, you won’t become a hippie.
