Description
This detox granola is rustic, hearty and slightly sweet – it is full of good-for-you ingredients that any health-nut probably has stashed away in the cupboard – chia & flax seeds, oats, shredded coconut, walnuts, almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds. This Energizing Detox Granola is infused with a bit of coconut oil, a splash of maple syrup and a dash of cinnamon for flavour and good measure. As you can probably guess, these ingredients make for one heck of an energizing and nutritious breakfast to start the day!
