06 June 2016

You guys absolutely loved the first recipe we posted from Donna Hay’s Fresh + Light (how could we forget that cauliflower salad) so we thought we’d share a second! This is her divine Date, Nut and Seed Granola – super easy to make and so full of goodness. Add a little Greek Yoghurt and berries for a satiating and weight-balancing breakfast… Or place the ingredients in a jar for brekky to-go!
