Home made cranberry granola bar is so simple to make, delicious and nutritious!!

Here there are some health benefits of almonds, walnuts and dates.

  • Almonds contains about 26 percent carbohydrates, 12 percent of which are dietary fiber. About 20 percent of a raw almond is made up of high-quality protein, containing essential amino acids. An ounce of almonds, which equates to about 25 almonds, contains 12 percent of our necessary daily protein. They are a rich source of vitamin E, B vitamins, essential minerals – like calcium, magnesium and potassium – and healthy fat.


  • Walnuts contain omega-3 fatty acids, they improve metabolism, and are rich in vitamin E.

  • Dates promote digestive health, relieving constipation – fiber is essential for promoting colon health and making for regular bowel movements. Dates are rich in magnesium – a mineral known for its anti-inflammatory benefits.

  • Dried cranberries contain the same nutrients as fresh cranberries (notably dietary fiber and antioxidants). However, commercial drying processes substantially reduce the vitamin A and vitamin C content.
