Protein Nutty Granola (Healthy and Easy)

I try reallllly hard not to get “hangry.” Nobody wants that!! My days can get pretty crazy, so I have to be prepared with quick, healthy snacks. Bonus if I can take it on the go!

Lately I’ve been loving Protein Nutty Granola! I make it in big batches so I can toss it into yogurt or on a smoothie bowl, but I also love to just eat it by the handful!

My favorite part is knowing exactly what is in this granola, and I can easily make small adjustments to change the flavor or up the protein.

This protein granola recipe couldn’t be any easier (or more delish)! I’m SO excited for you to make it.

Yummy ingredients!

Most granola recipes have oats, but I chose to use a mix of nuts, coconut, flax and protein!

To help everything “stick” together, I used coconut oil and almond butter.

To sweeten, I chose a monk fruit sweetener in syrup form, but any low-sugar syrup will do. Alternatively, you could choose honey!

And, the protein component is my Sculpt+Debloat Protein Powder in the Sweet Cream flavor–YUM!

Personally, I love to stir one scoop of protein powder into vegan yogurt and then top it with a few berries and 1/4 cup of this protein granola! SO satisfying!

Mmmm crunchy, salty-sweet perfection.

Grab that baking sheet and let’s make granola!
