chewy ginger walnut granola
I love granola.
Like, seriously, love it.
What I do not love, however is how most of the store bought brands are loaded with extra sugars, often wrecking havoc on blood glucose.
So I decided to make my own with ingredients such as fresh ginger and chia seeds to promote stable blood glucose when paired with lean proteins and healthy fats while also promoting healthy digestion.
Health Benefits:
Boosts Digestion: The ginger in our granola aids digestion and helps soothe the stomach.
Supports Immunity: Ginger has antioxidant properties that can boost your immune system and overall well-being.
Energy-Boosting: The combination of complex carbs and proteins, our granola provides sustained energy throughout the day.
How to Enjoy:
Breakfast: Pair with milk, greek yogurt or a dairy-free alternative for a quick and satisfying breakfast.
Snacks: Grab a handful for a healthy snack that satisfies your cravings.
Desserts: Sprinkle over fruit or ice cream for an extra layer of flavor and texture.
