Chocolate Covered Cranberry Superfood Granola

Granola is one of those things that I cane eat in so many different ways. Whether it’s atop yogurt, a smoothie bowl, in milk, or on its own; there are so many possibilities.

Store-bought granola can be expensive and filled with preservatives and added sugars. Why spend a ridiculous amount of money on something when you can make it at home, for a lot less and much healthier? It’s really a no brainer.
