Toasted Granola Packs (to take to work)
On mornings when you have no time to eat breakfast at home, or you’re not quite ready to eat yet, a portable pack of granola is the handiest option. Throw it in your bag and use the milk at your work (or take a little bottle of milk with you). And I’ll admit, sometimes I like to snack on this granola dry, almost like a trail mix! Seeds provide healthy fats, and oats provide slow-release energy.
