Indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola

By Kristina LaRue, RDN 8 Comments

Peanut butter chocolate lovers... this one is for you! This Indulgent Chocolate Peanut Butter Granola is a gluten free granola recipe, low in sugar and full of healthy fats!

For a boost of protein, toss a serving of this granola on top of a bowl of cottage cheese or Greek yogurt and you're set!

Do you have to eat before working? Don't like to eat pre-workout? That's okay, I can't say I ALWAYS fuel up before exercise, but that call always depends on the duration, intensity and type of workout. For example, when I trained for marathons and triathlons, eating sustaining foods before a two hour plus ... View Post
