Blueberry Granola
Recently, when strolling through the aisles of Trader Joe’s I spotted a beautiful jar of blueberry juice. It looked so delicious I plucked it off the shelf and added it to my cart having no idea what I’d do with it.
First thing we did was a taste test. It passed with flying colors and delivered the added benefit of enabling an exciting blue mustache.
Then we decided to make one of our household faves out of it… granola.
The color of the pre-cooked granola was magnificent. Such a gorgeous shade of purplish blue.
Too bad the color baked right off…
But it tasted awesome. We’re working our way through this jar eating it non-stop.
