Heart Healthy Granola

This crunchy mix of heart-healthy oats, ginger, almonds, pumpkin seeds and edamame, is great over yogurt, mixed fruit or served plain. This recipe makes a big batch but it keeps its crunch for about a month if kept in an airtight container. Goji berries and blueberries are powerful antioxidants, but can be substituted with dried cranberries and cherries for a less expensive option. You can find agave nectar, a very low glycemic sweetener, near other syrups in your grocery store.

“Even without the fruit, the granola was delicious. I never would have thought to put edamame and mango slices together but they tasted great.”
