Nutrition
I created this granola out of a list of recommended iron rich foods. Women have a higher iron goal than men: we need 14.8mg a day while men only need 8.7mg. Alisa Vitti recommends eating iron and vitamin B rich foods to support blood loss and energy during the menstrual phase of our cycles which is why I’m grouping this recipe under this phase.
Flavors
Add raisins, dark chocolate or other nuts to tailor this granola to your own tastes!
