Little Red Wagon Granola

When it comes to healthy and delicious snacks, granola skewers with fresh fruit and a touch of chocolate drizzle are hard to beat. These delightful skewers combine the crunchy goodness of granola with the juicy sweetness of blueberries, bananas, and strawberries.  Whether you’re hosting a casual evening at home or a get-together with friends, they’re sure to be a hit. Plus, granola fruit skewers are a powerhouse of nutrients, and the combination of dark chocolate with fresh fruit not only tastes amazing but also provides a dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Blueberries, known for their high antioxidant content, help combat oxidative stress and promote brain health. Bananas are rich in potassium, supporting cardiovascular health, while strawberries provide a burst of vitamin C, enhancing immune function and skin vitality. The granola offers a source of fiber and healthy fats, promoting digestive health and sustained energy levels. The dark chocolate drizzle adds flavonoids that benefit heart health and improve mood. The result? A perfect snack! 

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of blueberries
• 1 cup of strawberries
• 2 large bananas 
• 1/2 cup of your favorite semi-sweet chocolate 
• 1/2 tsp coconut oil
• 1 cup of Little Red Wagon Original granola 
• 4 wooden skewers

Instructions:

1. Slice strawberries and bananas into thick slices and place each fruit in its bowl for easy assembly.
2. Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add coconut oil and microwave for 30 seconds (or until melted). Stir until smooth. Set aside.
3. Place a piece of parchment on a flat, workable surface and begin to assemble fruit on skewers: blueberries, bananas, and then strawberries. Repeat until you reach the top and until all skewers are full.
4. Grab melted chocolate and a fork. Dip in chocolate and drizzle over fruit skewers. Sprinkle the desired amount of granola over the skewers and set aside until the chocolate hardens.
5. Enjoy while being mindful of the pointy ends of the skewers.

Fireworks, laughter, and good company—the 4th of July is a time for celebrating freedom with loved ones. This year, ditch the pre-packaged options and impress your guests with patriotic party snacks made with Little Red Wagon Granola. From refreshing parfaits to sweet and savory delights, our versatile granola becomes the star ingredient in these festive treats that are perfect for a backyard BBQ, potluck, or celebrating at home. Let’s get started on some star-spangled snacking!

Berry Blast Parfaits

Bring a light and refreshing note to your celebration with vibrant Berry Blast Parfaits. Layer creamy yogurt (plain or vanilla for added sweetness) in mason jars. Top with a generous scoop of Little Red Wagon Original or Cosmopolitan granola for crunch. Next, unleash your inner artist! Arrange a layer of fresh blueberries for the “blue,” followed by a cascade of juicy raspberries for the “red.” Finish it off with a sprinkle of toasted coconut flakes for a touch of white and a tropical twist. These patriotic party snacks are a symphony of flavors and textures, perfect for a warm summer day.

Red, White, & Blue Granola Bark

Looking for a fun, interactive snack that’s easy to make ahead of time? Look no further than the Red, White & Blue Granola Yogurt Bark! Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler (or use a microwave on low power, stirring frequently) until smooth. Spread a thin layer onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle a generous amount of Little Red Wagon Mocha Granola (or flavor of choice) for a chocolatey crunch. 

Next, add freeze-dried (or fresh) blueberries and raspberry jam for the blue and red. You can even use star-shaped cookie cutters to create a patriotic design. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, then break into bite-sized pieces. For a less-sweet version, swap the melted white chocolate for yogurt and follow the same process. 

Grilled Watermelon With Little Red Wagon Granola Crumble

A delightful twist on a summer classic! Slice a seedless watermelon into thick wedges. Brush each piece lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Grill the watermelon for a few minutes per side, just enough to create a slight char and caramelize the sugars. While the watermelon cools, prepare your patriotic party snack topping. 

Combine equal parts of Little Red Wagon Original Granola and crumbled feta cheese (trust us!) in a bowl. Add a pinch of dried thyme for an extra layer of flavor. Sprinkle the mixture generously over the grilled watermelon for a pleasing contrast of textures and a surprising burst of salty-sweet goodness.

Star-Spangled Smoothies

Who says healthy can’t be festive? Star-Spangled Smoothies are a delicious and refreshing way to fuel your fun. Blend together plain or vanilla yogurt, frozen mixed berries (for the red and blue), a scoop of Little Red Wagon Crunchy Monkey Granola, and a splash of almond milk. Top with a drizzle of white chocolate syrup and a sprinkle of sliced almonds for that finishing “star-spangled” touch. To make it extra special. pour the smoothie into star-shaped molds and freeze for a fun and healthy popsicle alternative!

Summer Salads With Granola Crunch

Round out your spread with a light and flavorful salad. Combine mixed greens, crumbled feta cheese, sliced cucumber, and cherry tomatoes. Dress with a simple vinaigrette (olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper), and top it all off with a generous sprinkle of Little Red Wagon Original Granola for a texture and a touch of sweetness. For a stellar presentation, you can even arrange the salad ingredients in a star shape on the plate!
