This recipe came to us care of our buddy Darcey from the Firefly Adventure Team. It’s a healthy seasonal treat that’ll sweeten up your mornings without the sugar-filled fake pumpkin flavor that normally fills up the end of October.
INGREDIENTS:
Dry:
5 cups rolled oats
2 cups chopped pecans (or walnuts, if you prefer)
3/4 cup coconut chips (unsweetened)
1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/3 cup shelled pumpkin seeds
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
(optional) 2 Tbsp. ground flaxseed
Wet:
1/2 cup agave
1/2 cup olive oil (or coconut oil)
1/4 cup honey
2 egg whites
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups dried cherries (I also like using cranberries or chopped figs)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Combine dry ingredients in large bowl
3. Whisk wet ingredients in medium bowl
4. add wet to dry ingredients, stir to combine so that the dry ingredients are coated evenly
5. Spread mixture out on 2 sheet pans, lined with parchment paper
6. Bake until granola is an even toasty/caramel color, stirring every 30 minutes
(total bake time varies per oven, mine is 2.5 hours)
7. Remove from oven, sprinkle dried fruit on top, and let cool in baking pans

"Juicing is becoming more and more popular with cyclists. It’s easily digestible, portable nutrition. The transformation of solid to liquid in juices and smoothies recalls images of magical elixirs and potions to aid and cure the body. (Bonus tip: beet juice is awesome for its ability to balance oxygen use to improve blood flow during exercise and will stain everything in sight.) In reality, being selective about what you drink and making your own coffee/juice/smoothies is not only delicious but enormously beneficial for training but overall health."

So great, that we wanted to give some of them a shot!
