Admittedly neither of us are big fans of granola.  Not because there aren't amazing clean healthy options these days- there are- but because it goes down way too easily!  An appropriate serving of granola is 1/4 cup.  The more common serving of granola is half a bag while standing in the pantry.

But for those of you who have better self control, or who want a gluten free, grain free, dairy free, low sugar option for your kids, we have the perfect recipe!  This one is loaded with healthy plant-based protein and fiber from nuts, chia, flax and coconut.

Proceed with caution- this is so good it's almost unsafe to have in the house!
