Tomorrow I’m off skiing to Morzine and what a week it’s been at home! I’m already starting to get used to the crisp air and it’s days like today when the sun is shining that the cold and frost on the grass just doesn’t seem that bad. In fact, it transports me to a little The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe scene, at least it did whilst walking my cute white fluffball this morning.

After a refreshing walk, I opened up the fridge to shelves full of berries and yummy ingredients that I couldn’t let go to waste whilst on the slopes. So, I’ve been cooking all morning coming up with different creations to share with you all! The first of which is this delicious and super simple Strawberry Crisp! Crunchy, fruity and completely gluten-free and sugar-free!

There’s Lemon and Raspberry Cake, Cranberry and Coconut Cookies and Morning Mango Bars all to come but I thought I’d start with one of my favourites first. Safe to say I am ready to clonk out for the day.

I had it for breakfast with some greek yogurt and it’s simply divine! Crispy, sweet oats infused with a natural strawberry flavour and gooey strawberry pieces. Full of nutritious nuts and seeds and completely Gluten-free. It can prove tricky to get a real ‘crunch’ on home-made granola but this one is crunch-perfect and can be kept in a sealed container to enjoy throughout the week!

      Hi Kayleigh,

      I would say it should stay lovely and crisp up to 5 days? I didn’t manage to hang onto mine for that long but shouldn’t be a problem!
