Mealtime Breakfast & Brunch Cereal Granola & Muesli Lemon-Blueberry Granola 4.3 (7) 5 Reviews This lemon-blueberry granola makes a delightfully crunchy topping for yogurt or just an out-of-the-bag snack. One batch of this homemade granola can last a month in a sealed container in your pantry, or store it in your freezer to keep it fresh even longer. Coconut oil adds extra tropical nuttiness to the granola, but if saturated fat is a concern, use olive oil in its place.

Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
