The Cardamom & Ginger Granola Recipe Our Health Director Swears By

Is anyone else consistently disappointed by granola? The crunchy clusters are kind of reminiscent of an ex-boyfriend: sweet and seemingly good for you at first, but ultimately full of garbage and kind of a letdown.

Case in point: This cardamom and ginger granola recipe I whipped up this weekend.

Then, of course, there's the pièce de résistance: mindbodygreen organic veggies+.
