Maca & Coco Granola

BLOG POST

Making your own granola is one of my favourite Sunday activities to set the week up. Not only does it make your week organised, it’s a healthier option for you than store-bought and even better it’s a quick one! This granola was inspired from my craving of toasted Macadamias from a smoothie bowl I had on the coast. Macadamias are full of healthy fats, and have been shown to help lower high cholesterol. Not only will macas benefit your health, they’re also SUPER delicious and addictive!
