BREAKFAST OF CHAMPIONS

Whip up a start that’s naturally good

We all know how important it is to have breakfast. You’ve heard how it’s the most important meal of the day; it sets you up well to achieve all you need to do each day. Many store-bought cereals are full of sugar; I’ve cut the sugar in this granola, using honey as a sweetener and adding hemp seeds. Hemp seeds are a superfood and high source of magnesium. The compote doesn’t need added sugar as the apples give the sweetness and the goji berries are full of vitamins and minerals. This breakfast combo is sure to make you have a happy day.
