Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. Most granola you buy at the store has about 35-45 grams of carbohydrates per serving. This one has about 9. Your tummy will love this and you’ll be healthier for it.

Servings: One serving is ½ cup

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
• 1 cup of flaxseed meal
• 1 cup chopped cashews
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup slivered almonds
• 2 teaspoons cinnamon
• ¼ cup vanilla whey protein powder
• 1 stick of butter – melted
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 3 tsp of ZSweet or Swerve sugar substitute (you can buy both of these on line)
• butter spray

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

In order to chop all of the nuts, I use my food processor. I chop each type of nut (except the almonds) and load them into a large bowl. By chopping each of them separately, I don’t end up with any of them pulverized. They stay nice and chunky.

When you have all of the nut types chopped and in the bowl, you can add your coconut and flaxseed meal. Add the cinnamon and whey powder and stir it all up to mix thoroughly. Stir the vanilla into the melted butter. Then drizzle the butter mixture over the nut mixture and stir to mix again. Add the sweetener and give it one more good stir to distribute the sweetener throughout.

Spray a large cookie sheet that has sides on it. Spread your granola mixture over the cookie sheet. Leave any clumps intact. Bake the granola in your oven at 325 degrees for 30 minutes. Open the oven and stir the granola every 10 minutes while it’s baking. Then let cool on the cookie sheet. Store in an airtight container.

This makes a great breakfast. Kids love it, too. I mix a ½ cup of granola with a ½ cup of full fat Greek yogurt that I sweetener with a bit of Truvia. Voila. A yogurt parfait.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
