Recipe: Superfood Granola
A homemade snack mix that is brimming with satisfying superfoods and surprisingly grain-free? Yep! No oats in this granola-esque snack, which makes it a versatile option to include while following the adjustment plan.
This mix is energy-packed, thanks to the nuts, seeds, and dried fruit providing satiating protein, healthy fats, and fiber. Not to mention it has the perfect blend of crunchy and chewy as well as salty and sweet. Enjoy it as a stand-alone snack or stirred into your favorite regular or dairy-free yogurt.
