Every morning, I get up in a flash. While I would love to say that I’ve nailed a morning routine complete with cups of warm lemon water and yoga, I can’t say that I’ve gotten there. Instead, I wake up, with a favorite song on my phone, sun streaming in, and as soon as my feet are placed on the ground I take off. (Usually straight to my coffee.) In my haste, I can quickly forget eating breakfast (Anyone else?). Because of this, I find that meal prep and grab and go options are all too essential for full days where stopping for lunch isn’t an option.
This recipe is perfect for your meal prep and laundry days. Yielding a few mason jars of granola, it provides a pantry staple that is nutritious and can be mixed up with a variety of toppings and reimagined over and over again. For the spring, I love playing with blood oranges. With a stunning color and delicious flavor, they add another element to a standard breakfast.
