Protein Rich Chocolate Granola

Eggs are a brilliant fertility-supporting food because they’re rich in choline, a nutrient that plays an important role in healthy conception and pregnancy.

But what if you’re not a big fan of eggs? My High Protein Chocolate Granola is a simple way to include them in your diet without the usual egg flavour.

It’s delicious served with yoghurt, your favourite milk, or enjoyed on its own as a snack, and you’d never know the eggs were there.
