This coconut chia granola is packed with nutrients and is quick and easy to make! Coconut oil is full of Vitamin E and healthy, necessary fatty acids that help with cognitive function, skin, hair, metabolism, and more. Chia seeds are also a powerhouse of nutrition. Known as a “superfood” chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which are good for decreasing inflammation, regulating blood pressure, and more. They are also high in fiber, making them a great addition to any breakfast! Pair this granola with whole fat plain yogurt and a dash of honey and you’ve got a highly nutritious and filling breakfast or snack!
