1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup blackberries
1/4 cup orange juice
Pinch orange zest
2 tablespoons good honey
2 cups greek yogurt

WALNUT COCONUT GRANOLA
3 cups oats (slow cooking kind)
1/3 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg white (optional)
3/4 cup toasted walnuts, chopped
1/4 cup flax seeds
1/2 cup coconut
Preheat the oven to 350 F. Mix the oats, brown sugar, honey and oil together. Fun tip: Pour the honey into the oil for no sticky mess! Add the vanilla, and if you prefer clumpy granola, the egg white. Add the walnuts, flax seeds, and coconut, mix, and pour onto a cookie sheet covered in aluminum foil or a silicone mat. Spread over the entire cookie sheet and pop in the oven for ten minutes. Remove the cookie sheet and with a spatula, break up the granola, flipping pieces over to let the sides brown. Return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let the granola cool for 10-15 minutes, then gently break it up using the back of a spoon. Enjoy!
