Who doesn’t love granola? It’s one of the most versatile breakfast and snack options, and a super easy way to pack in nutrient-dense foods like nuts, seeds and whole grains. We love it on top of our smoothie bowls and chia puddings, in yogurt parfaits, and with milk (and in full disclosure — by the handful).
That's why we’re so excited to share this brilliant joining forces of granola and our Focus Functional Superblend. Our friend and Holistic Wellness Coach Sloane Elizabeth created this small-batch gluten-free granola (that you can easily scale up!) and we’ve had a stash on hand since she shared the recipe. It’s crunchy, just slightly sweet, and one of our new favorite ways to get the adaptogenic, brain-loving and immunity-boosting benefits of Focus Functional Superblend. Our breakfasts (and snacks) have just taken on a new level of yum.
