Man Can’t Survive on Cookies Alone

Posted on Sep 02, 2016. 1 comment

Though we wholeheartedly believe that there is no bad time to have a cookie, man cannot live on cookies alone. For that reason, Elizabeth has created a Granola that can be eaten on the go and make anyone feel good about themselves. Traditionally, granola is thought of as a breakfast food or baking ingredient, but granola is great for an on-the-go snack or a fantastic ingredient to add to yogurt. No matter what form granola is eaten in, it has loads of health benefits.

A Complete Part of This Breakfast
Were sure many have heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Granola definitely makes that a true statement. Granola can reduce one’s blood sugar due to the potassium that is in it . When blood sugar is lowered in the body, tension in the veins are loosened — increasing the blood and oxygen flow and helping the brain work properly all day long. Some may say they don't have time for breakfast, but granola is good for that too! It is an easy and light breakfast to eat on the go, which is exactly why many hikers and outdoor enthusiast enjoy it so much.

Energy Booster
Instead of heading straight for the coffee bar at work, try eating some granola! Granola, unlike coffee, is not filled with sugar and caffeine that will cause you to crash. Instead granola is filled with the mineral energy booster, manganese. This mineral is important for the body’s kidney, liver, and metabolism functions. Manganese helps your metabolism distribute energy properly, meaning consuming granola will not cause you to eventually crash like caffeine and sugary drinks tend to do.

Weight Loss Aid
Good news: granola can be a key part of weight loss due to it’s light weight nature, but at the same time filling qualities. Granola is low in cholesterol and sodium, but high in fiber!

Next time you’re in the neighborhood and want something sweet, stop by and grab a cookie, but always remember what Elizabeth says, “Man cannot live on cookies alone!” Grab some of Kizitos signature Granola for your next breakfast or mid-day snack!
