Goji Berry, Pistachio & Seeded Granola
Granol-yah. Granola and yogurt was THE staple snack of my youth. The light and crunchy treat can be used not only as a topping on yogurt but also eaten as a cereal or all by itself as a snack. This recipe is an ode to my childhood and Saturday morning cartoons. Superpowers are now mine to discover by consuming this superfood granola. Packed with goji berries and hemp seeds this granola packs a super healthy punch. The oats and pumpkin seeds offer powerful antioxidants and also help to benefit blood sugar regulation and heart health. All of this power is mixed with maple syrup and vanilla to create a delightful sweetness. The best part of it all, it’s quick and easy to make with no need to bake.
