Granola (Makes 8 portions)

My best advice when you are upgrading your diet and lifestyle is to focus on baby steps. Starting with breakfast is often a winner for my clients, as so many are super busy in the morning and have become stuck in a cereal or toast rut. This make ahead granola is super quick and easy to knock up and takes all the stress out of the morning. Try it!
