It has been a minute since I posted, but sometimes life happens. Since my last post, I’ve been trying to develop some healthy eating habits to lower my cholesterol. One of the changes I’ve made is making this Golden Granola recipe so that I can start my day with a healthy breakfast.
I used to eat store bought granola until I noticed how much added sugar is in them. Making my own, I use maple syrup instead of refined sugars and limit the amount. I also add turmeric, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, and ginger, which also has health benefits. I have this with plain Greek yogurt and fresh fruit for a delicious and nutritious start to my day.
