Bangin’ Banana Tahini Chaga Granola (Oil & Refined Sugar-Free)

August 13, 2020 By julia

Who doesn’t love a good crunch in the mornin’?

I do.

But, I don’t love all the sugars + oils snuck into a typical store-bought granola…

Enter: THIS BANGIN’ BANANA TAHINI CHAGA GRANOLA

This recipe is:

-Easy

-Delish

-Free from refined sugars and oils

-Made up of whole foods baby!

Pour some milk on top (Earth’s Own new 4 ingredient oat milk are a fave), or sprinkle it on top of your coco yogurt bowl or smoothie bowl. How ever you enjoy granola, you’ll be able to enjoy it knowing you’re packing your body with quality nutrients and good energy. 

As for the mushroom part, totally optional, but any opportunity I can get, I’ll add in mushroom powders to my recipes. 

The Stay Wyld Organics Mushroom powders are North American sourced, steamed for best absportion, organic, and packaged in glass with a tin lid (plastic-free packaging for the win). I’m using Chaga here, but really could throw all 5 in this recipe!

 

Turkey Tail, Cordyceps, Lion’s Mane, Reishi AND Chaga all give you a mega dose of antioxidants and act as adaptogens in your body, bringing your body back to homeostasis (balance). They’re also immune-boosting and good for the gut. 

Cooking time: 16 minutes

Servings: 5

NOTE: This recipe is very double-able. Do it.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds

  • 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

PrintPrint

Directions

  • Pre-heat oven to 325F
  • Mix the wet ingredients together in a large bowl
  • Add in the dry ingredients to the wet and mix thoroughly (hand mixing is the most satisfying and gets the job done best)
  • Lay it out evenly on a parchment (or reusable baking sheet) covered pan
  • Bake for 16 minutes, mixing around halfway through. (Careful not to burn at the end!)
  • Remove from oven and let cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in your cupboard or the fridge. As you transfer it to your container, add in the additional ingredients and shake it up.
  • Snack, scoop, or sprinkle it on everything!

But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefit But really, all mushrooms are magical. The benefits are endless.

Read on to learn about the world’s first ever mushroom strip 🤯🙌

I’ve been a big fan of this company from the very beginning and even helped out during its startup. Functional mushrooms grown just down the road from me in beautiful Pemberton BC, created by a friend of mine.

I love everything Stay Wyld makes, but these pocket strips are the most convenient and fun way to take your mushrooms on the go.

Have you tried them yet?

So what’s actually in these sugar free pocket strips?

🧠 Energy LST Strip
Lion’s Mane, B12, L-Theanine, and green tea.

💪 Immunity LST Strip
2800mg of 7 functional mushrooms + vitamins, all in one little strip:
🍄 Lion’s Mane — brain power
🍄 Chaga — cellular defence (antioxidant powerhouse)
🍄 Cordyceps — energy & resilience & blood flow
🍄 Turkey Tail — gut + immunity
🍄 Maitake — metabolic support
🍄 Reishi — stress & immune balance
🍄 Shiitake — immune-active compounds

We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. We’re still floating from the Plants. Dance. Love. Retreat ✨ 
It was everything we dreamed it would be and then some.

We danced kitchen, in the sunshine and in the rain.
We ocean dipped.
We got playfully curious about ourselves.
We learned to trust our intuition.
We supported eachother.
We laughed.
We devoured insanely delicious whole plant foods.
We experienced breath work & a sound bath. 

👟🌱Everyone learned the foundations of plant-based eating and shuffle dancing, all in the name of reigniting their internal spark and bringing home simple ways to pump the lymphatic system and add more plants into their own day-to-day lives. 👟🌱

And the women!! 💗

…Thank you for sharing your stories, for allowing yourselves to be supported, for saying yes to you and your own joy. 

The energy we curated for the weekend truly allowed everyone to feel safe and be exactly who they are.

We’re already dreaming up the next one. 🌱

🙏Endless gratitude to the local businesses who filled our goodie bags with so much goodness:
@staywyldorganics functional mushrooms
@glowchocolates and glitter tattoos
@WildWomenFlourish Magazine
@vandalmerchshop shirts
@wearesevenclothing by @pachavega 

Special thanks to @be.love.be.free for the Intuition and Self Trust workshop and video documentation 🥰🎥

🌱Menu highlights:
Hand-rolled sushi we made together, build-your-own berry parfait bar, layered raw dessert creation, vibrant Buddha bowls, ceremonial cacao, and a plant-based sharing board to send us off.

✨Itinerary flow: 
Arrive + land. Cacao + opening circle. Shuffle workshops each day in the garden and beach. Culinary sessions in the kitchen together. Breathwork + sound healing. Human Design + self-love. Guided journaling + ocean dip. Integration + closing circle with cacao.
