Store bought granola is often laden with hidden sugars and unhealthy fats. That is why Cara-Lisa always prefers to make her own at home.
"This recipe reminds me a little of coco-pops (if you are from SA you will definitely know this) as it turns your milk chocolate brown. I use many seeds in this recipe to ensure a great balance of healthy fats. Hope you love this one as much as I do!"

1 cup coconut pieces
1 cup oats
¼ cup cashew nuts
¼ cup chia seeds
