We’ve all been there: You’re throwing breakfast together or scrambling for a snack that tastes delicious and makes you feel gr8, but you’re tired of the same-old, same-old. After all, there’s only so many ways to make a smoothie bowl or yogurt-and-granola, right?
Given that gr8nola is a healthy snack all on its own, sometimes it’s easier to just grab a bag and go (we confess to keeping our Sampler 4-Pack at our desks 24/7), but what if you want something a little more complex?
After seeing all the fun ways our awesome customers have incorporated gr8nola into their daily eats—from adding it to toasts to using it as crust for healthy desserts—we've rounded up six of our favorite recipes. How do you like to eat gr8nola? Share your recipes in the comments!
