Reach Worthy Granola

Alot of us work at a desk. And at a desk you feel the need to reach; the need to reach for coffee, for a midmorning snack, for an afternoon snack, for your neighbor’s candy dish. Get rid of that reach guilt and make something you can be proud to reach for. Whip up a simple batch of tasty and healthy granola and reach for it all morning and all afternoon.

You can use your granola as a trail mix, as your morning cereal or to top off your fruit and yogurt.
Make a big batch on Sunday and bring it to work all week long.
Reach on my friends!
