With just 2 weeks left till the holy month of Ramadan, everyone is busying themselves in preparation. The biggest question on everyone’s tongue is “what shall we eat for suhoor” (the time of eating before fasting begins) we know that fasting is good for us, it detoxes & purify’s the body. So we need to preserve as many nutrients & vitamins as we can. Eating a breakfast/suhoor that has slow releasing energy will keep us going longer & give us the much needed boost we need to see us through the day.

I came across this recipe a while ago when I was looking for a healthy alternative to my usual breakfast, in comes Jamie Oliver with his granola recipe! I was a bit dubious as I love anything sweet & wasn’t expecting such a healthy breakfast to taste so good, but it did! The original recipe calls for coffee, but I omitted it as I’m not a big fan & didn’t want the kids to be aired from breakfast! The beauty of this is you can make this into a porridge or a smoothie too! 😍

So here is my quick #bishbashbosh version of Jamie Oliver Granola Dust Recipe –

    This sounds like a great recipe! And healthy! So many store bought granola’s have a ton of sugar that makes them really bad for you!
