A combination of grains, fruits and nuts – that’s what granola is all about. If you want to make it at home, it’s very simple and can be done for a fraction of the price of store-bought versions. Also, you can add anything you want to it. If you don’t like raisins, throw them out. Add generous amounts of macadamia nuts if they are your pleasure. Granola can liven up your day and provide plenty of nutrients to fuel you through it, whether it’s between Zoom calls or just to satisfy a mid-day craving.
