So, yesterday was exciting. Little baby Pure Delicious came out into the world, and I am completely humbled by the response which has been so wonderful. I hope that if you are a regular reader or you found this blog because of your own eating style, (which would mean that this kind of food is your deal ) that you will look into picking up a copy– I really saved so many special recipes for this book, and I know you will love them!

Today, Wednesday, I am doing a fun segment on New Day Northwest, whipping up a few recipes for you and I will be sure to post it on facebook later so you can check it out- also, follow the fun backstage on snapchat! (HeatherChristo).

Blueberry Coconut Granola- GF and vegan from HeatherChristo.com

So onto breakfast: Coconut Blueberry Almond Granola to be exact. This is the second batch I have made of this in the last few weeks. Well, the first batch I made with Sun butter (if you have a nut allergy, this is an epic substitute in this recipe!) and then this last time I made it will almond butter and added the toasted almonds- delicious!

My kids like to snack on it plain (the big chunks especially) and definitely pick out the dried blueberries. I then take all of their dried blueberries and add them to my granola which I like to have cereal style with cold coconut milk (SO GOOD!!) Pete has been sprinkling it on vanilla (vegan) ice cream- also a nice choice if I do say so myself!

However you eat it, you should try this out very, very soon because it is so delicious, and then watch it disappear lightning fast in your house.
