Time to put ‘ pep in your step’ every morning - Day 68 of 100 food stories.

The Tower House Granola - a powerful way to start your day.

​I am ending our 2 weeks  of Immune Boosting Foods with The Tower House Granola, a powerful way to start your day.
I use just a little maple syrup to sweeten this. You can either use regular porridge or g/f porridge, whichever suits.
The problem with shop bought granolas is that they are laced with sugar. So whilst you think you are eating healthier, the truth is the opposite.

Tower House Granola. Bring all those immune boosting (g/f) ingredients together and add a little maple syrup to sweeten.
