The Deluxe Blend was created  for friends and family who preferred a granola without almonds or coconut.  I used the Original Blend recipe but replaced the almonds and coconut with pecans, sunflower seed butter, and vanilla extract. 
I created the Original Blend when I was looking for a low-carbohydrate, and therefore lower-sugar, high-quality breakfast option.  There are no oats in any of the Gran's Ola products!
 
Both the Original Blend and this Deluxe Blend are entirely organic, except for the pecans and almonds.  I haven't found evidence that pecans or almonds are treated with chemicals or genetically modified, so I couldn't justify the higher cost of organic nuts.
 
Dates are the only sweetener and they are packed with healthy benefits.  They are rich in nutrients (fiber, potassium, magnesium and a variety of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin B6 and iron); they boost energy as they have natural sugars that are slow to break down; they support digestion with their high fiber content; they are rich in antioxidants which may help combat inflammation in the body; the potassium and magnesium can help regulate blood pressure; the minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium, can contribute to the maintenance of strong bones.
 
This whole plant-based granola is lower in saturated fats and cholesterol.  By opting for organic, you're choosing food free from harmful pesticides and chemicals, preserving the environment, and supporting sustainable farming practices. Plus, being vegan means it's free from any animal products, making it a compassionate choice for both your body and the well-being of our furry friends. What’s more, the nutrient-rich ingredients like nuts, seeds, and dates provide a wholesome boost of energy, fiber, and essential vitamins, ensuring you feel great from the inside out.

Starting your day with a healthy breakfast sets the tone for balanced energy levels and improved focus throughout the morning. A serving of Gran’s Ola with plant based yogurt or plant based milk is an excellent way to start your day.  Add berries for extra yum!
