From the Sugar Happy Kitchen: Vegan- Keto Low-Carb Homemade Granola with 5.32 Net Carbs
You may have thought granola derived from a German European country like Muesli from Switzerland. Surprisingly, the origin is from Dansville, New York, dating back to 1863. Dr. Caleb James Jackson, a nutritionist, struggled with good health most of his life. Until he went to a spa that reversed his physical condition with hydrotherapy. The revival in his good health changed his professional interest from farmer, journalist abolitionist to becoming a physician. He became a vegetarian, giving up meat, coffee, tea, and alcohol. As a whole foods advocate, he developed granola at the age of 52, named initially “Granula” at his Jackson Health Resort.
If you are tired of having eggs, bacon, or ham for breakfast- granola cereal is a refreshing alternative to dairy, soy, or meat products. It is high in protein and fiber. My recipe has less sugar and fewer calories than any other option I have seen on the market. If you want a filling and nutritious breakfast without the high carbohydrate sugar found in most granolas, try my new recipe. It is for the health-conscious person.
