One of my favorite things is having a delicious snack to munch on while working, taking a break, or hanging out with friends. Especially those that are crunchy and full of flavor.
My favorite type of snack is one that not only provides an amazing taste bud experience, but that also nourishes the body. I love efficiency, and this type of eating kills two birds with one stone.
There are plenty of great Paleo snacking options out there than fit the bill, but I have a wonderful recipe to share with you today that does the job well. I hope you love it as much as we do.
I call this recipe the Hippie Paleo Granola. Why hippie? Well, hippies love granola (wink wink) and I just couldn’t help myself. Now, most granolas you find at grocery stores contain oats (lots of them), and as we all know, oats are a grain and that just doesn’t go with our Paleo lifestyle now does it?
My recipe uses only 100% Paleo approved ingredients, which means that no oats were included in the making, and let me tell you…it kills it when it comes to taste. It feels just like your regular (with oats) granola, but it tastes way more delicious.
Hoping you find some time this weekend to pull out that baking sheet and get your Hippie Paleo Granola baking on. Happy healthy snacking, everyone.
