Nutrition tip: Pecan & Coconut Granola with Fortified Soya Yogurt and Nectarines offers a hearty start rich in fibre, healthy fats, and plant protein. However, one nutrient it lacks is omega-3 fatty acids, which are crucial for heart and brain health. Consider adding a high-strength omega-3 supplement to ensure you’re getting enough DHA and EPA, especially if you don’t eat oily fish regularly.
