In our busy lives, it's often hard to spend a lot of time preparing breakfast. Enter granola: crunchy baked oats, wheat, barley flakes with honey, nuts, superfoods, and dried fruits. It's a complex carb that breaks down slowly, keeping you full longer.

For a quick, nutritious breakfast, simply pour yogurt or milk over ready-made granola, add fresh fruits, nuts, or your preferred toppings, and voilà, a delicious meal is ready!

We've also crafted 3 easy granola recipes for you to enjoy, if you have more than five minutes to cook:

• Smoothie Bowl with Granola (for two servings)

• 3 bananas
• 300g natural yogurt (choose which one you like)
• 100g granola
• 2 tbsp peanut (or any) butter

Blend two bananas with yogurt and spread the mixture in a bowl. Top with granola, banana slices, nuts, coconut shavings, and peanut butter.

• Chia Pudding with Granola

• 4 tsp chia seeds
• ½ cup almond or coconut milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 pear
• A pinch of cardamom
• 50g granola

Soak the chia seeds in milk overnight, placing them in the refrigerator. For the first 30 minutes, it's better to stir periodically to ensure the seeds are evenly distributed.
 Once the pudding is ready, add finely chopped pear, granola, and a pinch of cardamom. Enjoy your meal!

• Crunchy Granola Candies

• 100g granola
• 400g dates
• 2 tbsp cocoa powder or carob
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 200g nuts

Remove the pits from the dates. Divide the granola into two portions; blend one portion in a blender with the nuts and sesame seeds, leaving the other portion whole. Puree the dates with cocoa to a smooth consistency. Mix the date paste with the blended granola, nuts, and the whole granola. Mix well by hand, form into candies, and place them on parchment paper. Refrigerate for a couple of hours, and your delicious, healthy candies are ready!
