Tropical Granola Clusters

Tropical Granola Clusters

A yummy sweet treat to sprinkle on your hot cereal, put into a parfait or just to eat as is. Although the healthy oils and fibre from the nuts will help to keep your blood sugar from rising too much, this is considered a treat and should be eaten in moderation.
