Eating healthy is tricky even with the best intentions. Even options in the so-called “health” food aisle can deceptively be not-so-good<\/a> for you. That\u2019s because pre-packaged fare, like granola, often packs a few extra ingredients to help keep it fresher longer and improve overall taste. Our solution: Skip the added sugar and make your own homemade granola recipe instead. This chocolate-hazelnut version uses just maple syrup for natural, controlled sweetness balanced with filling fiber and protein<\/a>. Enjoy it with milk or sprinkled over Greek yogurt for breakfast to avoid a midday sugar crash.<\/p>\n
