Nutrition Facts & Tips

The granola is very nutrient-rich meal. As it has been home made this ensures one thing: control over the ingredients and lack of any industrial baking additives. It is also loaded with a lot of fiber that slows down the insulin spikes and keeps you filled longer during the long office hours.

I always try to time this kind of meal after being more physically  active. I spend half my lunch time working out and this meal is perfect as a post workout dessert that is replenishing the much needed glycogen levels in my body.

It keeps well in the fridge 4-5 days easily. So what I do is cut into smaller portions and have it stored in my lunch boxes. I just grab and go with one to the office. No more excuses to say no time for breakfast.
