Granola (bars) is a great choice for snack. However, many packaged granola you find in stores usually contain too much calories, fats, sugar, or sodium.

I went to the Jersey shore over the weekend. Knowing that I’d be very active playing sports on the beach with my friends, I made some granola for us to re-energize ourselves. I followed the recipe from Alton Brown’s Good Eats.

Fresh out of the oven.

After cooling the granola off completely, I cut it into bars. I also crumbled and added it to yogurt with fresh fruits.
