Healthy Eating
A couple of tips:
1. Try to buy organic, non-GMO ingredients whenever possible. It may cost a little more, but in my opinion, it is worth every penny.
2. I started with chopped pecans but recently switched to sliced almonds. The verdict is in...sliced almonds are my preference.
3. Invest in a good sized, air tight glass container to store your granola in.
4. Customize it however you would like. I love to add mini chocolate chips and dried cranberries or fresh, organic strawberries for an extra treat!
