Day 3: Healthy Faux Granola!
May 23, 2012
Good morning everyone! I have a treat for you today!
Gluten-free “faux granola!”
It’s made with Coconut Oil, Slivered Almonds, and Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
First, put about 1/2 tsp. of Coconut Oil in a pan over medium heat and add slivered almonds
Once those brown (it will be quick! Keep your eye on them!) put them aside in a bowl
Add coconut to the pan next
I use unsweetened
Once the Coconut browns (this also happens very fast!) pour in into the mix of slivered almonds
Flatten it out in a small bowl or baking pan
Set in the freezer
This literally takes two minutes
Store it in the fridge so it keeps that crunch texture, and in the morning, or as an evening treat, put it on top of some greek yogurt with fruit, honey, and 1 tbsp. of your favorite nut butter
See, even Noah was intrigued!
Such a good, SIMPLE treat! Makes yogurt more fun!
Hope you all have a great day! This was my breakfast 🙂
Now I am off to the Gym. I have a 2pm phone appointment with the Institute for Integrative Nutrition!!
