NOTES

MEAL PREP TIPS

We do not recommend using dehydrated fruit for this recipe, and the texture of the meal will not be as appealing. The freeze-dried berries also create a fruit-compote-like sauce.
We recommend reading food labels and choosing full-fat granola without dried fruit to maximize the calories per weight ratio.
Chia seeds provide an additional source of nutrition but can be left out without significantly altering the taste or texture of the meal.

NUTRITION

Total sugar (per serving): 25 g with 4 g added sugar
For a no-added-sugar recipe, replace cane sugar with a sugar substitute.
To reduce calories by 120, do not add the 1 Tbsp (14 g) coconut oil. Although, the flavor is better when the oil is added.
