Besides eggs, I probably eat granola (with yogurt) more than anything else. It has to be one of the most satisfying meals that I could possibly eat. While I’ve tried most of the store-bought versions available in the U.S. and in Europe, the ones that I make myself following a recipe like this from The Spunky Coconut tend to be my favorites. That’s not to say I don’t like some of the store-bought versions, but I just really like the freedom of putting what I want into my own gluten-free concoctions. That being said, I really don’t think you could go wrong with vanilla, almond, and strawberry — I don’t think I’d be changing much with this one.

“Last week Zoe was asking me to buy cereal. Groan. We haven’t been cereal people for years. I think it’s the least healthy way to start your day. I’m all about keeping our blood sugar even, not spiking it first thing in the morning. My girls are homeschooled, so who would get to deal with the sugar crash? Yep, that would be me =)
About the same time Zoe was asking me to buy cereal, Andy was asking me to make my Chai Granola. He eats it throughout the day, by the handful. I don’t know why it never even occurred to me to crumble it and make “cereal.” Then the lightbulb went on, and we’ve been having chai granola cereal with cashew milk for several days now…”
