Nutrition tip

I recommend adding to this granola some fresh fruits.

Dried fruits are more concentrated with sugar than fresh fruits. Choosing fresh fruits is a good idea if you suffer from high blood sugar because they are lower in sugar. Fresh fruits are also higher in vitamin C.

If you would like to add dry fruits, try dates and figs.
These are great options because they are dense in antioxidants and fibre.
