For some reason that memory was all I needed to realize that granola can be a mix of almost anything I snack on to get some quick energy – it didn’t need to have all of those added grains in it. I added some almond flour to give it more texture, which allowed it to become more of a legitimate granola rather than just a trail mix of assorted nuts and things.

If you follow the general outline of this recipe, you can add in any of your favorite ingredients and spices to create your own mix. My version is packed full of healthy fats and protein to keep you moving all day long. I especially love the coconut flakes, because they get all nice and toasted in the oven which only seems to amplify their flavor. It’s deliciously sweet and salty and nutty, and even makes a great alternative to cereal! Just serve it in a bowl covered in almond milk and enjoy.
