Ambrosial Harvest: Superfood for breakfast

If you are anything like me, cereal is a breakfast staple. However, it can be a really bad choice if you aren't careful. Most of us can admit to a secret love affair with Fruity Pebbles or Fruit Loops. But think about it, you are starting your day with refined sugar and artificial food coloring. Basically, cancer in a bowl...I'm serious. Food coloring contains petroleum byproducts and is carcinogenic.

We need to seriously reevaluate our eating habits. Food should taste good, but it's meant to fuel our body. We are just clogging our systems and making ourselves sick.

Better Breakfast

Ambrosial Harvest is the perfect depiction of what breakfast should be. Contrary to typical granolas that often have loads of extra sugar, Ambrosial packs each variation with nuts, seeds and a selection of healthful herbs. Yes, herbs! And the combination is harmonious. Who knew rosemary and basil could blend so seamlessly into granola? You'll even find fiber rich chickpeas on the ingredient list, which really gives the product a pleasant heartiness and nutty taste.

No Refined Sugar

Processed sugar is completely left out, and enzyme-rich honey takes its place. Honey is a sweetener with a purpose, providing our body with nutrients, rather than messing things up. Its sugars also absorb more slowly, preventing blood sugar spikes. Blackstrap molasses is another great sweetener used in their granola, and delivers numerous nutrients like manganese, copper, iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and selenium.

Goji berries, raisins, dates and apples also add sugary taste, while providing additional benefits through vitamins and antioxidants.

Healthy Fats

Ambrosial Harvest products are cholesterol free. All of the fats come from nuts and seeds, meaning they are good for our body and reduce bad cholesterol levels. The only saturated fat comes from coconut, another healthy, plant source of fat.

Versatile
Whether you are vegan, vegetarian or on a gluten free diet, you'll be able to find a granola that suits you.

Ambrosial's line consists of sweet or savory selections. Sweet varieties are healthful additions to yogurt, pies, fruit salad and can even add some nutrition to ice cream. Savory blends are particularly delicious on salads.

For after school snacks or for guiltless midnight snacking, the granolas can fill in the spot of chips, crackers and other unfavorable snack choices.

Where to get it

Ordering online is hands down the easiest way to purchase. But stores like Whole Foods often carry this particular brand. Slowly but surely, we can change the way we eat. Every change matters.
