Made with the goodness of rolled oats, this high-fibre wholegrain has anti-inflammatory properties and is also a good source of the growth-supporting mineral phosphorus.
Almonds are a good plant-based source of protein and calcium, two nutrients closely tied to bone and joint health.
Serving the granola with mango adds freshness, vitamin C and amylase, a digestive enzyme which has been found to support inflammation management.
