Summer is here and it’s officially time to start thinking about my bikini belly. As such, I bring you this very delicious granola, packed with all sorts of hippie deliciousness that is sure to make your bikini belly very happy- we’re talking about quinoa, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, and heart-healthy nuts. Just pretend that you didn’t see the browned butter and chocolate on the ingredients list… Pretending probably burns calories too.
