Witzi's Raw Granola

Strength training is key to metabolic health! Muscle processes most of our body’s glucose. More muscle = better insulin sensitivity and less risk of diabetes.

Tuna Salad on mixed greens with Nut & Seed Bread!

✅ Easy & Quick
✅Healthy
✅Tasty
✅Satiating

We always have some fresh greens, washed, chopped and ready to go! Makes having a salad so much easier. The proteins vary, but a can of tuna is an easy go-to! We like to add Primal Kitchen avocado mayo with a splash of Primal Kitchen buffalo sauce and pickled anything, into the mix. This, along with a slice of nut and seed bread is perfecto! Blood Glucose friendly too!!

Delicious and blood glucose friendly nut & seed bread by ! 🍞 We subbed the mixed nuts for Witzi’s Golden Trail Mix for an extra twist—perfect as is or toasted with almond butter. I love it alongside salads and soups. Check out Beth’s recipe/breads section!

Witzi’s needs YOU! 😊

Can Your Granola do That?
 
Witzi’s was created to meet a need. Specifically, a granola free from grain, gluten, added oils and excess/multiple sugars. The hope was to create a recipe so good, my kids would eat it!
 
We think we nailed it!
 
We do get questions about the price, to which we kindly remind people Witzi’s is not like typical granolas. We don’t use grains (including oats), which may be filling and bake-up nicely, but they can’t compare to nutrient-rich nuts, like almonds, walnuts, pecans. In fact, our bodies may respond to processed grains just like they do to sugar!
 
We’re proud of our granolas & trail mixes!
✅minimal carbs
✅healthy fats
✅Clean ingredients
 
AND – turns out, your blood glucose may thank you!
 
Why does this matter?
Research is exploding around the benefits of minimizing blood glucose spikes.
Essentially, stable blood glucose can lead to:
🩸Improved energy
🩸Better sleep
🩸Reduced inflammation
🩸Hormone regulation
🩸Reduced cravings
🩸Reduced rick for chronic diseases
And so much more!
 
This wasn’t the goal when creating Witzi’s. But it just makes sense. Everybody responds differently to this foods, but too many sugars & carbs in the absence of fat and fiber are likely to cause a glucose spike.📈
The results in the image are my body’s response using my continuous glucose monitor (CGM) and comparing a serving of 2 granolas. Notice the increased rise in my blood glucose (blue line) compared to the relatively flat line (white line) from a serving of Witzi’s. Pretty different, wouldn’t you say?!

Can your granola do that?

Here’s a look at the blood glucose impact from one serving of Witzi’s Original Granola. A score of 8 from my continuous glucose monitor is great! Not surprising really, as there are no highly processed flours, oats or other sugary fruits in Witzi’s.

The granola you can feel good about!

When Witzi’s began, we knew it was different. A granola without oats?! While there are other grain free granolas, this is still a perplexing idea to people.
 
Just because something has always been one way, doesn’t mean a new way is wrong.
 
But it’s not only a lack of oats that makes Witzi’s different.
 
It’s:
💚the use of healthy nuts and seeds, rich in nutrition.
💚the pre-soaking of nuts to increase digestibility.
💚the slow and steady dehydration method, removing moisture without the damaging effects from ultra-hot ovens.  
💚the fresh, simple, organic ingredients that taste just as nature intended.
💚the minimal blood glucose impact.

It may never win on price. But that was never the goal.

Looks like oatmeal, but it’s NOT.

This seed mixture (chia, h**p, flax) mixed with almond milk is a major upgrade from oats. Many people can’t tolerate oats. 🙋🏻‍♀️
With minimal prep (setting the seeds and milk aside overnight or several hours) makes for a creamy, thick porridge-like texture. Rich in omega 3’s, fiber and protein~it provides a balanced base to start the day. We love mixing in some full fat yogurt, berries, nut butter & Witzi’s granola. So many variations.

This version includes the seeds, protein powder, A2 yogurt, peanut butter & our Pumpkin Spice Granola! 😋🎃

No blood sugar spike!

Chocolate kinda Vibe!

The smoothie has blueberries, a small chunk of banana, homemade cacao/almond nut milk, vanilla protein powder, peanut butter & no oats (4 seed combo). We made it early this morning in the Vitamix. We added yogurt to it before serving and chose Witzi’s Chocolate Honeyberry as the topper. It was tough choosing between Banana Berry and Chocolate Honeyberry, but this combo slays.

Which would you choose?

Pumpkin Spice Waffles on this Sunday!

This time, we put the granola in the batter instead of on top of the finished waffle. The change in texture is so good. We also added protein powder into the mix and into the yogurt on top ~ helps to balance out the flours. Some basic scrambled eggs with greens made for a yummy and satisfying start!

Here we go.
The transition from summer to fall. Just love this change. It’s such a great time to draw-in, reflect, and be “ok” with resting a little more.

Food desires shift too! Bring on the root veggies, savory flavors & soups!

And, you can hardly call it fall without some pumpkin spice something or other. Keep is clean with Witzi’s!

Cinnamon, allspice, clove, pumpkin and more combine for a scrumptious and nutrient-rich granola perfect for this time of year! Scroll over and zoom in…isn’t it so beautiful? ⬇️

A SALE IS COMING 🍂🍁

Easy Frittata!

This has been a regular part of the weekly meal planning. It’s nice to make at the beginning of the week and have it for a few mornings OR towards the end of the week for less-work mornings on the weekends (and you can literally use any veggies left in your fridge:). Best part, taste great, satisfying & easy on your blood sugar-see my response to this meal on next image. ☺️
We used Witzi’s Pumpkin Spice Granola on top for added texture, flavor and nutrition.

Thank you, Susan! 🌱 We 💚 our customers!

Wow! 📈
Take a look at the blood sugar spike! This is the same meal I had 2 days ago with limited impact on my blood sugar. The only change - a swap from Witzi’s Lemon Raspberry Granola with a top selling oat-based granola. Witzi’s has fewer carbs, less sugar and more fat~which helps to reduce a blood sugar spike. The data is helpful to SEE what is happening inside your cells. And, I find it encouraging to know small changes (like a topping swap) can have big effects. 😊

Oats

My “NoOats” combo had minimal effect on my blood sugar because of the balance of protein, fat and fiber! ☺️🩸

Blueberries in and on this smoothie!

Love blueberries! Especially this time of year. Rich in antioxidants, polyphenols and flavor. This was the first time trying frozen riced broccoli 🥦 in a smoothie. Love the way it added thickness and fiber without being overpowering at all!

We also mixed in riced cauliflower, vanilla goat whey powder, almond butter, ground flax seed, h**p hearts, cinnamon & sea salt.
Witzi’s Banana Berry on top-no brainer.

Rich in protein, fiber and fat for a blood sugar friendly and cooling “treat-like”meal 🫐😍

Try starting the day this way!

Make ahead frittata makes is so much easier. We used onion, chives, bell pepper, spinach & egg. A sprinkle of fresh micro-greens for some added plant power and avocado for good healthy fats!

Witzi’s Savory Spice on top for added protein, fat, fiber and FLAVOR boost.

The turkey sausage links are ready to go after 5 min in the air fryer.

Protein+Fiber+Fat.
Blood Sugar happiness!!

Have you tried Witzi’s Banana Berry Granola?

This flavor is so simple, but so, so good. I remember the taste-testing and the testers vividly. It came together pretty quickly actually~natural, real ingredients tend to do that:) But the surprise was the change in texture that came along with using real bananas. Thicker, smoother and almost buttery. And the blueberry flavor just popped. Since it’s launch at farmers markets, it has been a consistent favorite. And until Chocolate Honeyberry came along, the only one with bananas. 🍌🫐

Give it a try! It’s great on yogurt, hot cereal, smoothie bowls, salad or a great travel snack!

Do you ever get bored with your salads?

Try being adventurous with toppings that add interest, texture and flavor. It’s fun to add granola for the crunch, good fats from nuts and contrast to the dressing or proteins.

It’s also nice to make a big chop salad, tuna/salmon salad and hard-boiled eggs ahead of time, so you can pull it together quickly for a few rounds! Just assemble and splash on dressing.

We never have salads with our granola around here😍

What’s your favorite salad topping?

Refueling between hikes with this plant-based snack😌

Nature has it all figured out☮️

I need a snack and I have 5 min!

Plain full fat yogurt, vanilla protein powder, scoop real pumpkin, and Witzi’s Pumpkin Spice Granola. BAM⚡️

-free granola

Each batch of granola produces some waste. A friend coined it “dust” and she loves it. But we NEVER waste it.

My mom was a child during the depression, and she was forever frugal because of it. I inherited this and when my kids witness me doing things like, diluting soap or salad dressing, they call me “Virginia”, my mom’s name:)

But these little balls are so easy and perfect little treats. We add to the granola dust, a runnier nut butter, more seeds, protein powder and even a roll through coconut or cinnamon. Point is, don’t waste, create!

New product line? Maybe ☺️

Love lunching outdoors this time of year! Perfect summer day in CLE! And, all the things in the fridge sort of just worked here. Zucchini was already spiralized, cowboy caviar (made for women’s meeting the day before), and sprouts, avocado, kale and Witzi’s of some kind-always in the fridge! I did add a splash of Primal Kitchen Buffalo sauce and some salmon mixed with spicy avocado mayo (next pic). But honestly, it’s great without. I just wanted more protein. Cowboy caviar recipe from
