Golden Granola Bowls

4 mins to read
Imagine waking up each morning to a bowl of golden, crunchy granola, the perfect way to kick-start your day!
This well-balanced breakfast is packed with magnesium-rich ingredients like wholegrain oats, almonds, pepitas, and chia seeds. Magnesium is an essential nutrient that supports muscle function, energy production, and recovery, making this granola a powerful start to any morning. We recommend serving it with yogurt or your favorite milk for a boost of vitamin B12, which further supports energy metabolism. Top it with a handful of fresh fruit, and you have created a perfectly balanced breakfast – the ideal fuel for whatever your day has in store.
