If you are anything like me sometimes you need a time-saving hack for those excessively busy mornings. A regular morning in my world includes walking the dogs, getting in a work out, task prioritization, making breakfast and despite what my wife might tell you, house chores. Some mornings it feels like I’m biting off more than I can chew! One way I ease the stress is to have a reserve of my favorite on the go granola in the pantry in case I start to fall behind schedule. Add it to greek yogurt, milk, or apple sauce and breakfast is ready in less than 30 seconds…
