Radiation, Chemo and Beyond
I created this recipe by combining elements from other granola recipes early in my radiation treatments. I wanted something gentle to eat that also left me feeling full, that satisfied the desire for something crunchy, sweet, and salty, and was without additives and lots of sugar. This is still a staple in my house; I make a fresh batch every two weeks.

Granola Ingredients
Chewy Homemade Granola Without Nuts
Meredith Foster
Homemade granola to snack on alone or use as a topper to a fresh bowl of yogurt. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds provide healthy fats for heart health, fiber for digestion, protein for muscle repair, antioxidants to reduce inflammation and minerals like magnesium, selenium and iron. Look for unsweetened dried cranberries to keep sugar content low or swap them for unsweetened dried blueberries.
