Turmeric. The powerhouse ingredient I’ve been utterly addicted to for as long as I can remember. While once focused on anti-inflammatory benefits, decreased cancer risk, and support of detoxification, studies on turmeric intake now include its potential for improving cognitive function, blood sugar balance and kidney function¹, so it’s a very powerful spice to keep in your pantry.
Granola must be one of my favourite go-to breakfasts. It’s easy, versatile (serve it with yoghurt and fruit, sprinkle over smoothies or layer it up with chia pudding) and the best things is it makes your house smell like a little French bakery. Once you’ve made your own, I doubt you’ll ever go for the supermarket granola again. You can experiment with ingredients as much as you like – each time I make mine, I use whatever I have to hand in my kitchen cupboard: seeds, nuts, coconuts shreds, almond flakes… The combinations are endless.
Enjoy this recipe and do stop by to say hello in the comments – it would make my day!
Healthfully yours,
