Nuts and seeds
Granolas that contain no oats, only nuts and seeds are a great source of protein, which can be lacking in a vegan diet if you don't carefully monitor your daily intake.

Omega 3s
Sunflower seeds which naturally contain omega 3 fatty acids are beneficial fats needed for skin, joints and brain function. As a lot of omega 3s are contained within fish, this is a great vegan substitute.
Slow release energy
When granolas are sweetened with foods like whole fruit sultanas it ensures that it's naturally balanced with fibre to slow down the release of sugar so you won't get peaks and troughs before your lunch break.
Vitamin C
You can add fruit that is rich in vitamin C or you can buy granola that already contains fruit such as oranges. These are a natural source of vitamin C and fibre to keep you in good health and help you to fight off illness.
Versatility
Granola is great as a snack on the go to nibble on when you feel rushed, so you can still get all the benefits, without the hassle of needing kitchen utensils and adding non-dairy milk if you don't have time.
Toppings
Cinnamon and nutmeg provide a natural anti-inflammatory and immune support as well as balancing blood sugar levels so if you want to jazz up your granola with some extra flavour- you can with these simple vegan sprinkles.
