Sweet & Salty Granola Cereal

One of my FAVORITE things to make for a quick breakfast, post workout or just a snack on the go!  I usually have to have SOME sort of chocolate in my granola because sometimes a girl just needs her chocolate!  Its also a great way to curb those cravings and get in the sweets in the morning as opposed to late night snacking.

This granola has the perfect combination of salty and sweet which I love!  When I have cravings and don't know which I prefer, this is a great option because it satisfies them all AND its loaded with super foods!  As much as I can I try to jam pack everything into bars and granola because its a great way to give the most bang for your buck, or so to speak.  This includes pumpkin seeds, chia, cacao and whole grain oats which all are fabulous for an energy boost!  

Give it a try and let me know what you think!  Would love to see your creations!
