I was yesterday years’ old when I found out my level of stress snacking truly is a ten… thank you instagram.
Not interacting with a few hundred people via social media accounts for six hours was stressful and refreshing all at once.
The stressful part resulted in this entire batch of MAPLE PECAN GRANOLA CLUSTERS being slammed down faster than I’ll confess to…
🌱 Vegan Friendly
🙌🏻 High Protein
✔️ Gluten Free
💯 No Baking Needed
Jokes aside it was bitter sweet not being able to do a very large portion of my career half of yesterday. Running a brand or business as an entrepreneur is an all day every day “job” in general.
Running one that is heavily based on platforms that you only have so much control over is a struggle on days like yesterday so shout out to everyone who was also stress snacking like a mad man.
