...Its Nutty Professor Granola

I'm on a health kick at the moment, as well as having a love of Granola, It is absolutely delicious with some natural yogurt or coconut yogurt, topped off with some berries, delicious. Granola, for me, is the best was of starting the day, recharging midday and a healthy alternative to dessert: you don't have to be limited to breakfast. The only problem with granola, is that it can be expensive, the reason for this, is the amount of seeds, fruits and all round super foods you can pack into granola. Less expensive options lead to a packed full of sugar, high in fat Granola, which is a shame as this can be misleading if you are trying to lead a healthier life.
