This is not your average granola in all of the best ways possible. This might be the smartest and most delicious combinations of whole foods ever invented. Ever. Granola can be such a tricky little thing because the word itself sounds so healthy, but store brought brands are typically filled with things like sugar, canola oil and soy lecithin. What exactly are canola and lecithin anyways?
Grain-Free Granola on the other hand is made with a hearty blend of nuts and seeds and other all-natural goodness. Nutrient dense ingredients that will fuel your body with sustained energy. So you still get the traditional look and feel of “real granola” without all of the added sugars and processed junk.
