Yep, this little chickie of mine LOVES granola. She just turned three. In that bowl there, we have oats, oat bran, sunflower seeds, almonds, maple syrup, canola oil, and soy protein powder. Sprinkle some hemp seeds over it, and you have a protein power-house, though protein has really become way over-emphasized these days. More on that later. This granola recipe is from one of the Mollie Katzen Moosewood cookbooks, of which there are many. I also threw some raisins in there to sweeten it up.
She used to eat it with yogurt for months, and then on a dime, she switched. She never asks for yogurt anymore, and we're not sure why. Now she likes it with the Almond Breeze almond milk, which we can buy in bulk at Cost-Co, so it's a big money-saver for us.
The other big money saver is making granola at home from scratch. It's easy and extremely cheap when you compare it to the store-bought granola. Try it sometime!
For breakfast, I had another big-ass glass of orange, lemon, and carrot juice. I peel the carrots because I find the outside layer can give the juice a bit of a dirty taste, so peeling them takes care of that right quick. And no, we don't buy organic too much. It's just too expensive here on the rock. I'll go into this more later.
The juice was uber-delish but when I opened the fridge, I realized I should have juiced some ginger in there as well. Ginger goes great with carrots, lemons, and oranges, so it'd be great in the juice, too.
That's all for now, gotta busy morning ahead of us; we have to move our kitchen into our basement because we are getting our kitchen re-done, which I also plan on blogging about.
