No bake quinoa granola

Morning sweethearts! Hope everyone is doing really well and you are enjoying the new year! 
Yesterday I posted this delicious quinoa granola on my instagram account. Lots of you lovely people wrote such amazing comments (BIG thanks for that) and asked me to post this recipe. However it was already past my bedtime so I decided to get up really early to update my blog with this yummy (and easy) homemade quinoa granola.





















Health benefits quinoa
Quinoa has many health benefits and is an absolute winner for people who can not eat gluten and grains!
Quinoa is gluten free, grain free and is easy to digest. As it is high in protein and is often referred to as the complete protein because it contains all of the essential amino acids, these are the different types of protein required by the human body. These amino acids are rarely found in a non-animal food source. Quinoa is also a good source of fibre and is high in manganese, magnesium, potassium, zinc, vitamin B, phosphorus and iron.

Healthy and raw homemade quinoa granola
What you need
1/2 cup of puffed quinoa
1/4 cup of buckwheat
1/4 cup of hemp
4 tbsp of ground almonds
2 tbsp flax
4 tbsp of coconut oil
2 tbsp of agave

What to do
Melt the coconut oil on low heat (take of directly when totally melted). Mix the quinoa, buckwheat, hemp, almonds and flax together and pour over the coconut oil. Whisk until all the delicious ingredients are covered. Add the agave and whisk again until the mixture becomes sticky.
Pour into mould of choice and let it set in your freezer for 15 minutes. Take out when eating and leave the rest in your freezer.

Love,
