Michele’s Granola

Michele’s granola is extremely sweet, contains processed sugar rather than only natural sweeteners. My children like it for a dessert topping. We were happy when Michele’s recently came out with the Toasted Muesil variety our entire family likes it. Has a lower sugar content, and is sweetened naturally. However, after that first tasty bag of Toasted Muesli, the next bag of we opened was stale although it was way before the date on the pkg., so we pitched it, seven bucks down the drain as we couldn’t find store receipt to return it. Just bought another, and it is also stale. This one will return to market for a refund. After two stale bags in a row, we probably won’t buy it again.

I have tried only one flavor, cherry chocolate, and it is the best granola I have ever had. I could eat a bowl every day and never get sick of it. It is light yet crunchy, chocolate and cherries. I like that it has sunflower seeds and is not overly sweet. Also, all other granolas hurt my temples after a few minutes of eating. Not this. This is my granola, I need look no further. I eat it with almond milk, or right out of the bag, dry.

If you want to pay 2x as much for average granola, this is the item to buy. Now, this granola does have its benefits for those looking for specific granola, it does’t have wheat fillers, additives, preservatives, etc its branded as organic and dairy free so probably ok for lactose intolerant, but it does contain nuts so those allergic keep away. So if your looking for that, this might be good for you, but as it is, it lacks flavor, consistancy is just so-​so. If you do buy it for the various reasons buy additives like fruit, nuts, your favorite added material to give it some oomph to make it taste better. As it is, if you just want granola go buy some regular granola for ½ the price and will enjoy it more. At 9ish dollars 12 oz bag, this is really spot buying granola for those with specific organic needs. You can get 3 boxes of granola cereal, etc at the regular store with more taste (though probably more sugar/​fillers, etc).

Reunited with cherry chocolate flavor after returning to the area. Best granola I’ve ever had in my life… hands down. Might be time to return to buying this in 5 lbs bags. It’s THAT good.

Boy, is Michele’s Granola awesome! I’ve tried many other flavors such as cranberry pecan, lemon pistachio, cherry chocolate, and pumpkin spice. All equally amazing. HUGE chunks, great crunchiness/​crispness. What really surprised me was there is not much sugar per serving. Most varieties only have about 6g per quarter cup, but it certainly satisfied my ever present sweet tooth. The only caveat I can say is you may end up eating most of the bag in one sitting if you’re not careful. It’s that good. Well worth the price.

I came across this granola in a shop and tried it with some yogurt. Really delicious, incredibly crunchy and of high quality. It is available in a few shops in DC and is definitely worth checking out!
