How do you Empower Granola?
1. Liberate the healthy elements from the unhealthy. Remove all refined sugars, processed cereals, excess salt, unhealthy fats, trans fats, excess grain, and remove common cinnamon, the potentially problematic Cassia cinnamon.
2. Replace bad fats and processed sugar with healthy fats like coconut oil and avocado, and low glycemic coconut sugar and natural sweetness of power fruits. Add whole plant protein in the form of nuts and seeds, add nutrient dense and enzyme rich sprouted seeds and cholesterol blasting oats and flax seed. Capitalize on natures super powers with a liberal use of antioxidant rich and flavor packed fresh, whole herbs and potent spices like brain boosting turmeric, magical saffron and true Ceylon cinnamon. Add super fruits like blueberries, pomegranate, cherry and apple.
3. For a final boost, sneak in more of natures power foods like carrots, lentils, pumpkin, kelp and beets
Your end result is half the sugar and fat content with three times the protein, 6gm versus 2gm of protein and double the nutrient density of regular granolas.
Like OM Power Granolas, the original granola from 1893 was designed to be a potent power food to be consumed during recovery from illness and to be enjoyed by health conscious people.
OM Power Granolas and Energy Nibbles are great as a power snack, but are equally at home as a salad booster, soup topper and flavor boost for steamed grains
