Honey Almond Quinoa Granola

August 23, 2018 by Sarah Leave a Comment

This Honey Almond Quinoa Granola is a healthy and super easy way to add some crunch to your next meal.

Breakfast is undoubtedly the most important meal of the day, and yet it’s one that I often skip with the excuse of “I’m too busy” or, “There’s not enough time”. It’s nothing against breakfast itself though, in fact, I have an undying love for allllll of the breakfast foods, it’s just that I’m not really a morning person. I’m more of a hit snooze until you’re five minutes late and then scramble out the door kind of person, and when you’re faced with the choice of grabbing a quick java or breaky to-go, the coffee always wins!

I’ve always been a huge fan of multi-purpose foods and this Honey Almond Quinoa Granola fits that bill perfectly. Whether you like a crunchy snack that can be eaten on it’s own, a hearty cereal that wont get soggy with milk, or a tasty topping to compliment your yogurt, this is it!

This Honey Almond Quinoa Granola is a healthy and super easy way to add some crunch to your next meal.This hearty granola uses just seven ingredients that are likely already in your kitchen pantry, and it’s easy – oh soooo easy! What puts this Honey Almond Quinoa Granola recipe over the top is the pre-toasting of the oats and quinoa. We did this in my Chocolate Quinoa Energy Bites recipe, and it’s crucial to getting that amazing robust toasty nutty flavour. Side benefit, your house will smell simply delicious during this step!

I mentioned earlier that I love multi-purpose foods, treat this Honey Almond Quinoa Granola recipe as a base, and that’s the beauty of it, it can be anything you want it to be!

This Honey Almond Quinoa Granola is a healthy and super easy way to add some crunch to your next meal.Sadly, almonds and I don’t get along so when I make a batch for myself I sub in cashews instead. Once all ingredients have been mixed together and baked for the last time, add any additional bits of tastiness that suit your taste buds before storing in an air tight container. Some of our faves are dried cranberries with dark chocolate chips and toasted coconut and dried pineapple.

Sometimes life is simply about being in the right Sometimes life is simply about being in the right place at the right time 📍

It was a little bit of both for me today. The amazing weather and warm temperatures called for an early dinner and a walk to the park with all four kids.

A slow shutter finger meant the fun moments from this evening will be saved to my mind camera roll as the big kid says, instead of the iPhone camera roll 💕

Today is #siblingday, who knew?! My brother is se Today is #siblingday, who knew?!

My brother is seven years older than me (and I make a point to remind him of that on the regular!) I always knew I wanted my kids to be closer in age than he and I are, but now having had baby B 11 years after my youngest I now know how much of a gift I was to my brother 🤣🤣

In all seriousness though, happy sibling day big brother!

11 years. 11 years is how long ago I received thi 11 years.

11 years is how long ago I received this Easter dress as an gift from my grandmother for my oldest daughter.

I always knew I wanted more kids, so I hoarded it away with a few of my other favourites in case my dream ever came true. 

Today, baby B donned her big sisters first Easter dress for a pandemic-safe backyard Easter egg hunt. 

I’ve tirelessly searched for a photo of Smalls in the same dress but it’s alluding me. I will find it, so stay tuned for a side-by-side. 

Hope you had a safe and hoppy Easter! 🐰

She’s pissed I wouldn’t let her win! 🤣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For those of you that are counting, we’ve now booked two private arcade dates for our family and I’m pretty sure there will be more in our future! 🕹⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
@industryarcade is just more than a stones throw away from my house, and they’re a true display of how a business can pivot during uncertain times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Located in a warehouse in New Westminster, families can book two hour private rentals of the entire arcade space! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Industry Arcade is mostly pinball machines, but you can find some great retro and not-so-retro games that you will surely kill some time at. They also have Skee Ball which is one of my personal faves and I spent more time than I’m willing to admit attempting the high score for a free beer ticket from @anotherbeerco. I don’t drink, but I’m all for bragging rights! Another time I suppose. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re looking for a change in scenery, I highly recommend booking a private session! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you a pinball fan?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Anyone else get excited over a new lunchbox? 🍱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No? Just me? Ok, nevermind then! 🤦🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up this @munchkincanada box the other day because who doesn’t need another lunchbox 🤷🏻‍♀️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s cute, colorful, and has a soft exterior feel. The clasp is easy to unclip which will be great for increasing toddler independence.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Today’s lunch contains meatball sticks and @heinz_ca ketchup for dip dip dipping (have you seen my stories of baby B dipping her foods? 🥰), steamed veggies, a heart-shaped hard boiled egg, oranges and blackberries, rice crackers, a @squeazygear smoothie and @preschoice fruit, veggie and oat bar! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You can now shop this lunch from the link in bio!
