Chocolate Puffed Rice Granola

Low calorie, crispy, homemade granola for your morning yogurt ☀️

One thing about me is I refuse to eat yogurt without granola or anything crispy on top. I started to make my own granola once I realized most store-bought granola are high in calories, sugar, and saturated fat.

This recipe uses both puffed rice and oats to lower the calorie intake and also has nutritious ingredients such as flaxseeds, chia seeds, and almonds. Try it out and enjoy :)
