Here is a really great recipe I made this morning. Usually I include nuts and seeds into my granola, but I didn’t have any, so I added quinoa for added crunch. Chia seeds add healthy omega-3 fats, which are essential not only to general health, but also brain health. I also added maca, which is a wonderful superfood which helps increase energy, fertility, improving mood, fighting free radicals, and lowering blood pressure.

Here is the recipe for the granola:

1 cup oats

1/3 cup quinoa

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tsp cinnamon

1 tsp coconut sugar

1 tsp maca

1 T maple syrup

1/4 cup coconut oil

Juice of half a lemon

1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the wet ingredients. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.

Line a baking sheet with tin foil and evenly spread the mixture into the pan.

Bake at 350 for 15 minutes
