I’m not one for eating convenience breakfast cereals, and that’s mainly because of the crazy amounts of unnecessary sugar they contain. Instead of a bowl of processed sugar, Granola is my go to morning kick starter. There are plenty of extremely healthy options on our supermarket shelves, however be careful as many do include extra added sugar! Instead, I make my own using a base recipe of oats, seeds, honey & coconut oil.
The below recipe is Duck Egg & Lime’s very own delicious crunchy & sweet Almond & Raspberry Granola. Top your Granola with some natural yoghurt and fresh fruit and enjoy any time of the day. It also even makes for a great option as a post workout meal. And if you prefer a Gluten Free option, then pick up a bag of Gluten Free Oats!
