Staying Healthy With Vegan Granola Treats

By Amanda Bailey


Never skip breakfast or so they say. Missing out on breakfast may lead to an unproductive day, obesity and even poor health conditions. However this quote does not seem to apply for busy professionals. Evidently they do need to rush off to work or school to avoid traffic and missing out on opportunities thus having something handy such as vegan granola is highly recommended for these folks. It will keep them full and energized as they do their tasks.

Both store-bought and homemade granola are packed with fiber, monounsaturated fats and essential nutrients that help in lowering bad cholesterol, regulating blood sugar and maintaining a healthy immune system. This plant-based treat also helps in cleaning the digestive track and arteries of harmful toxins that often results to heart ailments, type-2 diabetes and cancer. It has no sodium content making it a good alternative for individuals yearning to lose weight.

This is a perfect on-the-go snack for active people. It contains manganese that increases metabolism. It also contains potassium that regulates the blood and oxygen flow throughout the cardiovascular and nervous system. It is also high in iron, vitamin E, vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acid allowing one to look and feel young. These nutrients also prevent excessive fatigue and cognitive malfunctions.

However these treat, just like any food should, be eaten in moderation. It is good to start the day or avert starvation during a hectic schedule but it still contain sugar and fats that when taken excessively can result to adverse health effects.

Beware that some brands include high sugar content to make it more delectable for the consumers. Some also include sodium to enhance its sweetness. Others do contain preservatives to extend its shelf life.

Create a batch if you cautious of your calorie intake. Knowing what is in it will prevent you from consuming something unhealthy. Packing it individually in airtight containers is ideal if you want an on-the-go treat. There are tons of recipes available online that you may want to try. Explore and note what you like and do not like so you can personalize the recipe. It would be more practical to use what is in season or what is in your cupboard in creating these scrumptious delights.

Toast evenly coated rolled oats, honey, nuts and berries in a baking sheet to create a cereal. Bake it until it is golden in color. Use a baking pan if your desire to create into bars. Cut it evenly before it cools down completely. Add in dried fruits, jams, raisins, or peanut butter to add interest to your granola. Make use of brown sugar, agave or maple syrup if honey is unavailable. Remember that altering the original recipe can add additional calories into these delectable treats. Doing some research would be helpful especially if you are watching your weight.

Have the habit to eat right to feel right. Be cautious of what you eat because it will somehow take toll on your looks and performance. Aim to include more fiber in your diet to detoxify your internal organs. However do not overdo it. Always listen to your body. Feed it well so it can function accordingly.
