Matcha granola

The matcha granola that we want to share with you today is a delicacy that dresses in simplicity and ingredient nobility.

With a base of whole oats, selected for its ability to release energy gradually, and crunchy almonds, which with their rich and slightly sweet flavor harmoniously blend with the matcha powder, the green treasure of Japan, this crunchy recipe will conquer your palate.

This blend, once toasted, turns into a concentrate of golden crunchiness, inviting to be enjoyed not only in the morning but at any break time as a regenerating snack or as a final touch on a cup of yogurt or fresh fruit.

Matcha, known for its multiple benefits, is a powerful health ally: rich in antioxidants, it helps improve concentration and maintain a balanced metabolism. Its presence in granola not only enriches the nutritional profile with its energizing and detoxifying properties but also gives a vibrant color and a distinctive taste that elevates the dish.

In this vegan and gluten-free interpretation of matcha granola, every bite is a sensory journey that respects the environment and the body. Here, the absence of gluten is not a sacrifice but a conscious choice for an inclusive and attentive diet for everyone's needs. Nutrient and light, this granola is a hymn to vitality: rich in fiber, plant proteins, and unsaturated fats, it offers a perfect balance to start the day with taste and well-being.
