In this interview, Francie  talks about taking charge of our kids health by incorporating tasty, healing foods into their diet and shares a healthy recipe of Granola that makes a nourishing and energy-sustaining snack food. This recipe is filled with nutrients which provide efficient fuel for the brain, support methylation, and hormone health. Be sure to make this recipe with your kids & have fun!
