Simple homemade granola

I try to be as “green” as possible, so for 2 or three breakfasts a week I will have a thick green smoothie packed with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and anti-inflamtories; spinach, cucumber, kiwi, spirulina, celery and lime with a large sprinkling of homemade granola. Sounds…

The weather has been so beautiful in London over the last couple of weeks so I’ve been making the most of enjoying lots of fresh vegetables and trying out some quick light dishes. My usual routine on finishing work is to cycle straight home to feed Tilly (Queen of the…
