Notes
LISA’S TIP - Serve coconut yogurt, topped with granola, raspberries and blueberries. You can be adventurous with your nuts and seeds. When cooked you can add an assortment of dried fruits. My preference is for dried banana chips and pecans, but once you get the hang of making your own, you really can be adventurous! You can store the granola in a kilner jar for up to a month.
