Spotlight on Health Webinar – Demystifying Nutrition—What Are “Normal” Nutrient Values?

Join Dr. Michael Hollie on Wednesday, November 6th, at 7 p.m. ET for a special evening with Dr. Milton Mills and bodybuilder Geoff Palmer. In this unique webinar, they will bust some common myths about the nutrients we must consume to be healthy, from protein to calcium. Many people have an overcomplicated relationship with these nutrients based on reductionist thinking, but there is a simpler and more effective approach. As Dr. T. Colin Campbell writes, “The misguided may trumpet the virtues of one specific nutrient or chemical, but this thinking is too simplistic. Our bodies have learned how to benefit from the chemicals in food as they are packaged together, discarding some and using others as they see fit.” Whether you are new to the whole food, plant-based lifestyle or are a plant-based veteran, you will gain key takeaways for your plant-based journey. Can’t make it live? No worries. We’ll send a recording to all registrants a week after the event so you can watch it at your convenience.

Recipes » Snacks » 3 Ingredient Late-Night Granola

By Erica Rivera, MA

(6)

This is “Late-Night Granola” for two reasons: one of our nightly routines as we wind down for bedtime is sharing a bowl of this granola, topped with fruit and almond milk. Secondly, I often make this granola at night, or when it can have some “sitting time” after baking to get nice and crunchy.

Prep: 5 mins Cook: 20 mins Yield: 14 cups

Low Sugar Nut Free Soy Free

Ingredients

10 cups old-fashioned oats
4 bananas
½ cup whole flax seeds (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine 10 cups old-fashioned oats and flax seeds (optional - the flax seeds give an added crunch and taste, but are not necessary).
3. Peel and blend four bananas in blender until smooth and creamy.
4. Pour banana mixture onto oat-flax blend and stir well to combine.
5. Divide the mixture between two baking sheets, put in oven and set timer for 20 minutes.
6. For extra-crunchy granola: when the timer goes off, simply turn off the oven and leave the granola inside on the baking trays for a few hours to cool down and get nice and crunchy.
7. To serve, top a bowl of the granola with your favorite fruit and plant-based milk of your choice (my favorite combo is the “orange julius” - ½ banana, ½ orange, some blueberries thrown in, and some almond milk).
8. The granola can be stored for a week or longer in an airtight container.
