Every year, I like to do something a little uncomfortable. I look back at the goals I set… and tell the truth about whether I actually followed through.

Mom’s Granola Recipe
Mom’s Granola Recipe
This granola recipe is one of my favorite healthy things to eat, hands down!
I’m usually eating (Mom’s granola recipe) at the end of the day when I feel like I need more food. You know those days when you workout really hard, and you just can’t seem to satisfy your hunger? And I usually pour some organic whole milk over the top of it.
So good! I absolutely LOVE cereal, and this is the best of the best when it comes to cereal!
Here’s all you need to know to make the granola recipe:
Mix all ingredients together then toss onto a cookie sheet to bake.
Ingredients
6 cups of oatmeal
2 cups coconut
1 ½ cup sliced almonds
1 ½ cup sunflower seeds
Pumpkin seeds/dried blueberries
1 cup oat bran
1 bag dried blueberries from Trader Joe’s
Sauce
1 cup honey
½ cup oil (this is the lowest amount of oil to still get the good taste)
½ cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt
Toss all together. Spread out on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350? for 30 minutes, tossing every 10 minutes.
You can add dried fruit/blueberries after cooling. If you add them before they will get rock hard. Like break your teeth rock hard!
You can actually add between 2-6 cups of anything. I sometimes add 2 cups of vanilla protein powder, cut the honey in half to up the protein, and lower the sugar.
