Flax Granola

If you're buying the Flax Granola off the internet or from some store, YOU'RE WRONG!!!  Come on people, can this stuff be easier to make?  NO!  Plus when you make it yourself you know there are no preservatives included.  With that, you can bet your bottom fat dollar that when you buy it, it's comein with preservatives!
So get up off your butt and do the damn thing.

I use a dehydrator to dry out the flax seeds after soaking, and I soak mine in the seasonings.  I also add  sliced ginger of which I dry out (in a dehydrator) and add to my granola.  YUMMMMMY!

1.  soak flaxed over night in tumeric, cinnamon, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of clove
2.  spread out a thin layer on a cookie sheet or in your dehydrator (key words here being 'thin layer')
3.  dry to a light crips (135 over night in dehydrator, 250 degrees in oven about 50 minutes)
4.  break into small, bite size pieces and add
5.  raisins, pumpkin seeds, etc.. (see recipe in The Plan)

Enjoy and get skinny baby!

How exactly do you know 100% that the flax granola bought online has preservatives????!!!!

You don't know. But just about any food that's packaged pretty much has some kind of a perservative. It would have to, no?
Still yet, if you can find it online and don't mind a perservative or two, then by all means get it!

You can find it online, without preservatives, they make it fresh and ship it the same day. BUT it will cost you about $35 a week for cereal!! We tried it but are looking for a good recipe that works.
