It’s a good thing that my diet recommends daily intake of raw cane sugar and maple syrup! My homemade granola has changed the face of my breakfast from stressed to excited.
This morning, I not only achieved my goal of planking for 90 seconds, but I also turned up my granola game by several notches. How?
Chocolate. I added chocolate.

- 1/3 cup raw cane sugar
