Description
Jamie Oliver Granola Dust is a nutrient-rich blend of toasted oats, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and superfoods like cacao and cinnamon, all blitzed into a fine powder. Unlike regular granola, it’s not chunky—it’s smooth enough to mix into drinks or sprinkle over food. It’s gluten-free (if you use certified oats), naturally sweetened, and packed with fiber, healthy fats, and plant-based protein.
