Coconut Granola with Fruit
Vegetarian◎Vegan◎Raw food△Recipe
I love granola bars, they are really convenient and delicious.
But granola bars from the supermarkets have a lot of sugar and syrup... If you eat refined white sugar and corn syrup every day it's unhealthy...(check out some info below).
So homemade granola is healthy, cheap and delicious!

Tips about sugar!
Although we need sugar, there are some good sugars and bad sugars for our body.
The good sugars are from fruits, beans, vegetables.
Unhealthy sugars are it called Glucose, Dextrose, Sucrose...
White sugar, icing and candies, and sweet substances contain syrup
It is cheap and sweet, a lot of juice and ketchup has this too.
Just a little bit ... no problem, but, if you eat every day ...It's really unhealthy.
These Sugar removed vitamins and minerals when sugars are purified to pure white. White sugar has some chemicals.
All of these things combined will bring on hypertension, fatigue, obesity, constipation...they basically make your body tired.
So if you love to eat sugar, I recommend natural sugar.
Fruit, real maple syrup, unrefined beet sugar, or agave syrup are good substitutes.
Natural sugar has unrefined vitamins and contains many minerals. So there is nothing taken away from your body and you can get some healthy vitamins and minerals from the sugar.
Enjoy!
