This nut & seed granola is a healthy make-ahead breakfast or lunch. We find it's also great as an energy-packed snack or after-workout meal.

Plus it is quick and simple to make. The nut and seed combination provides a good source of protein, omega-3's, fiber, and other nutrients.

We also really enjoy this oil-free Easy Peanut Butter Granola as well if you are looking for another granola option.
