Is Granola Healthy?
Ready for a truth bomb? There are a lot of store bought granolas that aren’t very healthy. They’re typically packed with a lot of sugar and highly processed oils. The good news is: granola is super easy to make and homemade versions ARE healthy! Especially this one.
Ingredients in Hemp Granola
Like I mentioned, this hemp granola is super crunchy and has a subtle sweetness — just the way I like my granola.
Nuts and seeds – add a variety of textures, flavors and nutrients. Maple syrup and dates – add just the right amount of sugar. Manitoba Harvest Hemp Hearts – pack quite the nutritional punch with 10 grams of plant-based protein and 10 grams of omega-3 + 6 fatty acids (aka healthy fats). They also contain magnesium, fiber and iron.
How to Serve Healthy Granola
I have no shame in admitting I often just eat this granola by the handful for a healthy snack. I also love it with almond milk and banana slices for hearty breakfast, but usually I use it as a topping for yogurt bowls, overnight oats, chia seed pudding and smoothie bowls. It’s so delicious we’ve already gone through two batches in a couple weeks and I’m tempted to make another batch today.
