Granola is one of those foods that is marketed as healthy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Many are made with added sugar, unhealthy fats, and other questionable ingredients. By making your own version chock full of satiating protein and fat, you’ll be sure to avert that 3 p.m. slump.
Make a big batch at the beginning of the week and dole it out into individual serving sizes. Ziploc baggies of granola can be easily tossed into your bag for out-of-town travel or simply when you’re on-the-go in daily life. Ditch the commercial varieties and reach for this instead, whenever you’re in need of a healthful, homemade snack.
