Is granola only for breakfast?

No one ever tells you that question- every single day- will be one of the hardest parts of parenting! Do you get stuck in a rut of the same dinners over and over? The days are so busy... we get everyone off to school, back from school, snacks, practices... and then dinner time comes around and the family looks to you like you're a magician ready to surprise them with something new and delicious! You're not alone- most of us are in the exact same spot! Did you know the same amazing Wildflower Granola you love for your breakfasts and snacks can also be dinners? We have included two of our favorite recipes for you to try.

Our favorite flavors to use in savory dishes are our LemonBerry and our very popular Take A Hike. They both are low in sugar- only 1 gram per 1/4 cup serving and loaded with protein. 

The blend of quinoa, pumpkin seeds, hemp hearts and flax, lightly sweetened with organic maple syrup and raw agave makes for a delicious addition to many dinners.

Mix the greens, beans, cherries grilled veggies and granola. Toss with the dressing and enjoy!
