A KICK OF TUMERIC GRANOLA

Start your day with an inflammatory kick!

Turmeric is something I tried to incorporate more into my diet this year. I have seen recipes for golden milk, fancy sauces, and unique dishes featuring turmeric. It can be scary at first because of the bright color, but once you get used to the flavor you will truly enjoy experimenting with this fun spice.

The golden color surprises me every time I use Turmeric. It is so pretty and vibrant!

I always say to it is important to add color to your diet, and spices are no exception. A little spice in your life can go a long way. I never would have thought that a savory spice like turmeric would work great in this sweet granola topping, but it really does!

Notes

The turmeric is not the only thing that makes this granola special. I used puffed rice for part of the grains this time. Let me tell you ... it turned out amazing! The puffed rice gives a light and airy texture that I love. The rice increases the volume of the granola overall, so this can be a great topping or just a grab-and-go handful snack.
