Heart Healthy Granola

This is my cute sister-in-law Ali.
Today she came over to make granola.
Yum.

At Walmart to get the ingredients.

The goods.

Bryson is always such a good little helper.

Here's how to make it:

My personal favorite is to mix this in with yogurt or to eat it as a breakfast cereal. Mmmm.

Here are a few reasons it's so good for you:

Rolled oats: lowers cholesterol and your risk of cardiovascular disease. It's also a great source of fiber and stabilizes blood sugar for diabetics.

Coconut: great source of protein, vitamins and minerals.

Almonds: great source of vitamin E, protein, and calcium. Can help to lower risk of heart disease and cancer.

Flax Seed: can help reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, strokes, and diabetes. Full of Omega 3's and fiber.

Wheat Germ & Wheat Bran: great source of many vitamins and minerals, which means it's full of antioxidants that help fight cancer and heart disease. Wheat germ is also a great source of folic acid and fiber.

Etc, Etc, Etc.....

Thanks Ali! It's so fun to have you back home in Utah.
Mike was a very happy man when he came home to so much homemade goodness today.
It's delicious!
