Plus 3 Easy-to-Prepare Summer Recipes<\/p>\n

Many people mistakenly associate the birth of granola with the hippies of the \u201860s and \u201870s. In more recent times, the word \u201cgranola\u201d has become slang terminology for people who live a health-focused lifestyle and are environmentally conscious. However, the first granola was developed in 1863 by Dr Caleb Jackson, the director of what we would nowadays refer to as a health spa. Jackson was an outspoken vegetarian, which was very rare in those days, and granola was his healthier, simpler alternative to a cooked breakfast.<\/p>\n

Head Dietician for FUTURELIFE\u00ae Angela Leach says that today granola is generally high in energy and fibre, but that\u2019s not all! She offers three more reasons to add granola to your everyday diet:<\/p>\n

1. Versatile: Granola can be enjoyed in so many ways! Gone are the days of simply being a boring breakfast cereal in a box \u2013 granola can be added to yoghurt to make it snazzy; used in a smoothie to bulk it up; or added to your muffin or pancake batter for added texture and crunch. Why not sprinkle a handful over your salad for a chef\u2019s touch? Or use it on top of your veggie bake instead of breadcrumbs. You can even add some granola to your biscuit batter to spice things up.<\/p>\n

2. Convenient: Granola can be enjoyed on the run as a delicious, dry snack \u2013 just grab a handful to munch on as you run out the door. You can also make your own trail mix by adding nuts and dried fruit to the granola, decant it into small containers and pop it into your bag or car for the days you get the munchies or forget your lunch at home.<\/p>\n

3. Tasty: Granola not only boasts crunch and texture, but it is also tasty too! Plus, if you choose a box of FUTURELIFE\u00ae GRANOLA CRUNCH you will be spoilt with choice when it comes to flavour and benefits! FUTURELIFE\u00ae GRANOLA CRUNCH offers three enticing flavours:<\/p>\n

BOOST made with real honey that combines energy, fibre and selected minerals; iron and magnesium
VITALITY made with real berries and fruit pieces that combines the benefits of fibre and probiotics
RENEW made with real cocoa that combines fibre and selected minerals; copper, selenium and zinc
Angela adds that the FUTURELIFE\u00ae GRANOLA CRUNCH range offers crunchy goodness for the whole family. \u201cIt is perfect for anyone over four years of age, active kids, the elderly, busy executives, active individuals and vegetarians. And, with a little creativity, FUTURELIFE\u00ae GRANOLA CRUNCH can even be the magic ingredient to help you whip up some delicious recipes.\u201d<\/p>\n
