Low carb Granola
Nuts are rightly regarded as little powerhouses: Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids have a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system, while B vitamins are necessary for strong nerves and optimal brain functioning. The fatty acids contained in Almonds protect our collagen and elastin fibers from degradation, firm the tissue and prevent the loss of the body's own hyaluronic acid.
If desired, the hazelnuts, cashews and almond slivers can be replaced with other nuts. Also suitable are walnuts or pecans. For an even more chocolaty version, one to two tablespoons of dark cocoa powder can be added to the mixture. The low carb granola should be stored in an airtight container. If moisture gets into the jar, it will become soft. Properly stored, the mix will keep for at least 2-3 weeks.
