Coconut & Cherry Granola

Sunday is one of my favorite days of the week. It’s a little pause to enjoy home, family, friends, and good food. I like using the slower Sunday pace to think about the week ahead and get some wholesome food organized.  This healthy granola fits the bill and makes a great quick breakfast once your schedule returns to full speed.

This granola is made with applesauce and only a tiny amount of coconut oil and maple syrup, making it far healthier than many recipes, and it tastes absolutely delicious! Enjoy it simply with some nut milk, in a Greek yogurt and berry parfait, or on top of a smoothie bowl.

Little habits can add up to big changes over time. It’s so much better waking up on a Monday knowing you are set up for the week, you have a delicious breakfast waiting for you, and your gym bag is packed and ready to go.

What are your favorite ways to spend a Sunday getting ready for the week ahead?
