NUTTY GRANOLA for HEALTHY BREAKFAST CHALLENGE ๐๐๐
Hello My Dearest Foodies,
This is my entry for a fantastic vegan challenge initiated by my fellow vegan @chetanpadliya, the HEALTHY BREAKFAST CHALLENGE. For more information please follow this link: https://steemit.com/contest/@chetanpadliya/healthy-breakfast-challenge-50-whaleshares-and-1-sbd-prize-for-winner
Now, what do I eat for breakfast? Well call me boring, but I always eat same thing. I am addicted to avocado, Campari tomatoes, cucumber with whole grain chia or flaxseed toast. I am not a happy camper, if I cannot have it for whatever reason. One of the common problems is not having my avocadoes ripe yet. I hate when that happens, lol.
Nevertheless, I have many delicious breakfast recipe ideas, but I usually eat them for lunch or snack. This is one of the examples that I love to have as a snack or even as a dessert. I know I am weird, but I am sure you donโt mind, lol.
They are many variations of granola flavours, but this recipe is one to give you the basic idea on how to make your own. The smell in the kitchen and the taste of fresh homemade granola is amazing and I highly recommend you to try. The health benefits being amazing goes without saying. I hope you will give it a try.
I also made a parfait with black berries, raspberries, pomegranate and coconut cream. The berries on the bottom are defrosted on a low temperature on a stove and whisked into puree with few drops of maple syrup. On top of that are granola layers, coconut cream layers and pomegranate. I made quite a large glass for the photo, but you can make it smaller. It is absolutely to die for.

I'm with you Lena--I eat avocado toast first thing most days, then a few hours later I have second breakfast or a large snack! I am most active during the morning and wake up quite early most days, so I love getting to have breakfast twice. :) This granola looks utterly addicting! And the parfait looks so pretty all together. Wonderful work as always dear lady! :)
Yes!!! I am so happy you are toast and avocado addict too, lol. Thank you so much Dear @plantstoplanks that means a lot form a health and fitness expert like you.
By the way, I didn't eat the parfait all by myself, although I could, lol. I shared it with my daughter and my grandsons. I have to make more for sure, it was incredibly delicious ๐ ๐๐๐ฟ๐๐๐
