Like granola, there are tons of things that make you unique. By dissecting your personality you learn a little more about yourself. We are going to determine your perfect granola combo by reflecting on your personality. After all, you are what you eat right? Let’s get started!

First things first: Oats

Right off the back which one speaks to you with little to no thought? Gluten Free, Instant, Traditional, or Steel Cut?

❏ Gluten Free: You are wise beyond your years. Nutrition conscious and a health fanatic.

❏ Instant: You are fast paced. It may be because you like to be beat the competition, or you’re always running late to things you probably shouldn’t be. Convenience is your best friend.

❏ Traditional: You live in the moment. Appreciate the little things and balance life as best you can. You have strong ambitions but aren’t too sure of your direction yet.

❏ Steel Cut: You are serious and strong. Work comes before social life, but you still have that core group of friends that support you and have the same morals. You are goal orientated and a bit hard headed.

Next: Are you sweet and fruity or NUTS!

Your granola can have as little or as much as you find fitting.

Fruity:

❏ PEACH: Sweet and bubbly, just a goofy ray of sunshine

❏ CHERRY: A little sweet, tart and flirty 

❏ STRAWBERRY: Spirited and outgoing, a little over friendly at times 

❏ BLUEBERRY: The admirable, lead-by-example gal that doesn’t let things get to her 

❏ RASBERRY: A friendly flirt

❏ BLACKBERRY: A seductive mystery

❏ APPLE: Embrace life and jump two feet first

❏ CRANBERRY: Natural glow, go with the flow

❏ GRAPES: Works off others’ energy, always rolls with a squad

❏ PINEAPPLE: Unparalleled individual; unique in a creative way

Nuts and Seeds:

For the more grounded individuals, maybe not as sweet but just as loveable!

❏ ALMONDS: Bold and brazen, borderline fears except for the little things, like spiders 

❏ CASHEWS: A devotee to the comfy life. A hot beverage and a book is a day well spent 

❏ SUNFLOWER SEEDS: Embracing optimism and taking advantage of life’s opportunities 

❏ MACADAMIA NUTS: Full of flavor and spunk, super innovative but down to earth 

❏ PEANUTS: Acts like ‘your average joe’, but has a hidden talent waiting for shine 

❏ CHIA SEEDS: A people person who always leaves a lasting impression 

❏ FLAX SEEDS: Could be a tree hugger or just embracing their old soul perspective

❏ PUMPKIN SEEDS: Mood based on the day, friendly some days, not so much on others 

❏ SESAME SEEDS: Excessively organized, no room for impulse decisions

Add some texture:

            Let’s add some complexity to your character! What makes you stand out

  • Peanut Butter __Adding some nature appreciation to your life, relax and smell the roses
  • Sunflower Butter __Adding some worry free vibes to your life, everything happens for a reason
  • Almond Butter __Adding some confidence to your life, if you want to wear heels, wear them with pride
  • Coconut Butter __Adding some spontaneous decisions to your life, switch it up take some risks
  • Chocolate Chips __Adding some love to your life, give compassion and loyalty and you’ll get it back
  • Honey __Adding some sweetness to your life, going a little out of your way to brighten someone’s day
  • Agave __Adding some smarts to your life, knowledge is power and you like both
  • Maple Syrup __Adding some sincerity to your life, just do you, no matter what others think
  • Vanilla Extract __Adding some resilience to your life, no one can hold you down; if you fall get back up

Hi, I'm Roxy, I am a double major in studio art and advertising at Marist College with big dreams and an even bigger cup of coffee to make sure everything goes according to plan. I am a high promoter in self enhancement and have remodeled the practice in a more appealing way with a more appealing name. Many of my works focus on this practice of "Identity Toning" and an overall healthy happy life. Life is not all rainbows and butterflies but someone who can push through dark clouds and hurdle obstacles comes out better and stronger on the other side. I write to inspire new mindsets on how we see life and approach our problems, and meanwhile, let my ideas flow freely.
