Although this recipe seems very involved it actually doesn’t take that long to make. And you won’t have to make it very often because it makes a large amount. It’s like buying a box of cereal at the grocery store, only way healthier and with way less sugar. Enjoy for breakfast in a bowl with some unsweetened almond milk or heavy cream or eat dry as an afternoon snack. Store in the refrigerator. One serving is 2.5 ounces (70 g).
