This easy no-bake granola only has a handful of ingredients and is just what you have been looking for! Being on a protocol like AIP can be difficult, but this tasty and whole food recipe will make breakfast and snacking a lot easier.

Since this raw granola isn’t baked, I find that it’s not as compatible with any type of plant milk, however, it is amazing over a bowl of fresh fruit and AIP approved yogurt for a delicious and simple parfait. I also love to serve this as a healthy snack for my kids as a sweet and nutty topping over some crisp apple slices covered with luscious coconut manna.

What is Tiger Nuts are So Good For You!

Many people haven’t even heard of a tiger nut, but if you are on an AIP protocol, chances are you have and you love them! You may also know them by the name yellow nutsedge, nut grass or chufa. Did you know that tiger nuts are not actually nuts, but are little tiny tubers, like a sweet potato.

Packed with nutrients and fiber, these little tasty tiger nuts are a great addition to any diet whether you are on AIP or not.

First let’s talk fiber! Tiger nuts contain 10 grams of fiber per ounce! This insoluble fiber found in tiger nuts is essential in a healthy digestive tract and also plays an important role in removing toxins and waste products. A diet rich in high fiber foods will keep you full longer and it also supports healthy blood sugar regulation.

3. Enjoy over fresh fruit, AIP friendly yogurt or whatever your creative heart desires!

4. Store at room temperature up to 3-days or in the refrigerator up to a week.

• If storing in the refrigerator, the coconut oil may harden, allow it to warm to room temperature if necessary.
