Homemade granola is the perfect pre- post- or intra- workout snack. Packed with powerful carbs, it’s a recipe for greatness! Though to be honest, I like granola better with yogurt post-workout than straight up.

Feel free to add or remove maple syrup or sugar as you’d like for sweetness. This version isn’t very sweet, as a heads up.
