"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day", is a well-worn classic phrase we all heard as children. But is it true?

Breakfast is the first meal of the day, and as its name suggests, we eat it in order to break our long overnight fast. Eating breakfast has been linked to metabolism improvement, better memory and concentration and higher energy levels.

Personally, I absolutely LOVE breakfast! It provides me with the energy to start my day and allows me to have some time for myself. On days that I don’t eat breakfast I get cranky, my digestion system is off, and I can even get disoriented or very unfocused.

This simple granola recipe is a healthy solution for the days you crave a sweet breakfast. We love to eat it with coconut yogurt, almond milk or an açaí smoothie bowl.

A friendly warning - when leaving the granola jar on the counter it tends to mysteriously disappear (or in our case, I highly suspect Guy just eats all the goodies).
