Peach season is in full swing and I just can't get enough of 'em. Peaches get along swell with my very favourite root, ginger (just ask herbal tea drinkers everywhere), so the pair where a natural choice to dress up some raw granola.
This quick breakfast or snack will keep you feeling full and energized till your next meal and it's darn tasty too! Feel free to top it with nondairy milk, nondairy yogurt, or whatever you usually like your granola with, but personally I love it all on it's own. The mix of textures - crunchy nuts, chewy dried cranberries, juicy peach chunks - is heavenly to me and the flavours marry so well, it almost seems a shame to drown it in almond milk.
To make it truly raw be sure to use raw coconut flakes and raw dried cranberries. If you are not on a strict raw food diet you can use regular unsweetened coconut flakes and unsweetened dried cranberries, it's delicious either way.
Raw Ginger Peach Granola

One ripe peach, pitted and diced
3 tbsp slivered almonds
2 tbsp walnut pieces
2 tbsp unsweetened coconut flakes

1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled
Put all the ingredients except the ginger in a bowl and toss lightly. With a microplane grater, grate the ginger over the bowl. Mix the ginger in thoroughly.

Enjoy!
