One of my favorite things to eat for breakfast or snack is definitely granola. I have a huge sweet tooth, so I love the easy and subtle sweetness of this food. Plus, I’m a huge crunchy snack girl, so you know crunchy clumps of granola are my jam. It’s so easy to grab and go, too; you just dump some yogurt in a bowl and top it with a heaping spoonful of granola, and you’ve got yourself a 2 minute breakfast that you can eat on-the-go.
However, keep in mind that there are a bunch of granolas out there. As a granola lover, I’ve tried my fair share of them, and let me tell you that there are some that definitely don’t meet my high standards. From trying so many brands, I’ve been able to gather my favorite ones and they’re the ones I consistently buy and always have to have in my pantry. Here are the 3 tastiest granolas in the market that you need to buy on your next shopping trip!
1. One Degree Organics Quinoa Cacao Granola
The best granola I have tried so far would be this one from One Degree Organics. They have a variety of flavors, but my favorite one by far is their Quinoa Cacao one. Shameless chocolate lover over here! If you are a chocolate lover like me, this granola will satisfy each and every single one of your cravings. Plus, it has minimal and wholesome ingredients, including quinoa, which ups the protein value. For breakfast, I love eating my granola with vanilla yogurt, and I add a few pieces of Scharffenberger chocolate to make the best blend! I’ve found this granola at Publix, Target, and Whole Foods.
2. Autumn’s Gold Grain Free Granola
If you want traditional, original-flavored, sweet granola, you would love this one by Autumn’s Gold. By far one of the most delicious granolas in the market! It is made with a plethora of healthy ingredients, such as almonds, honey, pecans, sunflower seeds, coconut, vanilla, and cinnamon. Plus, it’s grain-free, if that’s your style. This granola is soft, compared to most granolas, and I love the unique flavor the cinnamon adds to it. I’ve only been able to find this one at Costco!
3. Greenwise By Publix Granolas
Some of the cheapest and yummiest granolas I’ve tasted are also all of the ones from Publix’s brand, Greenwise. They come in a variety of different flavors, such as Cinnamon Peanut Butter, Honey Coconut, Pecan Maple, Cranberry Cashew, and Chocolate Chia, with the last one obviously being my personal favorite. They are great straight out of the bag or with some almond milk dunked all over them in a bowl. These can be bought at your local Publix store.
Make Your Own
Don’t find these options, or the flavors aren’t up your alley? You can also make your own homemade granola! Here are 12 easy and healthy granola recipes free of refined sugar that you can make at home!
Have you tried any of these? If not, make sure to keep an eye on them! And if you’ve never tried granola, the best ways to eat it is straight out of the bag with a spoon (or your hand, let’s be honest), mixed into yogurt, mixed into a homemade trail mix, with milk like cereal, as a topping for pancakes or waffles, or even on top of peanut butter toast. Which ever you like it, I can guarantee you…you won’t be able to stop eating it.
