Not only is granola delicious and satisfying, its good for you too!
Loaded with whole grain oats and nuts rich in protein, our granola is great for breakfast, eaten as a snack, topped over fruit, yogurt or ice-cream or even used in your favorite baking recipes.
There are many benefits to incorporating granola into your diet...
'Oats are overflowing with health benefits,' said Patti Geil, a registered dietitian and certified diabetes educator.
'In addition to lowering blood lipids, particularly the LDL (bad) cholesterol, oats slow the rise of blood glucose after eating, which is important for diabetes control.
'There is also evidence that because oats improve satiety by keeping you feeling full, they are helpful in a weightloss plan.'
In addition, she said, fiber sources such as oats can help to reduce blood pressure.
