4 Vegan Homemade Granolas (with bonus!)

If you ever wonder what toppings to add on your smoothies, overnight oats, muesli jars, smoothie bowls or even salads, here is the perfect solution. I share with you the recipe for 4 of my favourite vegan homemade granolas! There are made of seeds, nuts, and oats. Occasionally, I add something else, such as shredded coconut or quinoa.

These vegan homemade granolas have many benefits:

1. They are easy to make. You literally just mix nuts, seeds, oats, a little bit of maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt.
2. They are cheaper if you make them at home instead of buying them. You can even buy your favourite seeds and nuts at bulk and save some money!
3. They are a long life. When you make the granolas and don’t use them straight away, you can still store them in an airtight container for up to a week!
4. They add a beautiful texture to your smoothies and make them sweeter and very crunchy.

Eating nuts and seeds is also good for your health. Some nuts and seeds are a great source of calcium. Calcium is important for the right bone density and preventing osteoporosis. It maintains a good bone and teeth health and it plays an important role in muscle contraction.

Because nuts and seeds contain quite a lot of fats, plant sterols, phytochemicals, and fibre, they are very helpful in losing weight. They are a wonderful way how to add ‘good’ fats to your diet and help you maintain a balance!
