14 Granola Brands Taste-Tested Head-to-Head
Galaxy Granola has good calorie content and tastes good. They have a non-sweet version as well. I've only found it at Whole Foods so far.
14 Granola Brands Taste-Tested Head-to-Head
I've had Bear Naked, Galaxy, and Artisanal granolas. Bear Naked is my chief brand, can't help it, the stuff's GOOD lol! But, I'm also atrracted to the Galaxy brand because I love it calorie and fat content, are great. Artisanal is good too and has alittle more nutrients&minerals in it than the other 2, yet all 3 are very healthy. Though BN is my main brand, I occassionaly switch between these 3 brands, due to their fat, calorie, carb and sugar contents are in the range that I like, unlike some other brands which are, let's say, a wee bit too much in those areas. :-)

I've had Artisanal, Bear Naked and Galaxy. I frequent Bear Naked the most, hey, the stuff's GOOD! But, I also have had Galaxy, which is yummy too! Also, I love the calorie and fat content of Galaxy aswell, that's what atrracts me to that brand, but I'm still faithful to Bear Naked too! Artisanal is really good too, and loaded with more nutrients than the other brands I've noticed. # basically great brands with a fat,calorie, carb range I like.

Bear Naked is the best, definitely my favorite granola. I pretty much love all their flavors, but my very favorite might be the Mango Agave Almond from the Native line.
Who exactly told you the Native line wasn't being produced anymore? I work at Whole Foods and we sell three different Native flavors: the Mango Agave Almond, Maple Hemp Walnut, and Yumberry Gogi Currant. It's actually still a relatively new product, at least in my store. I haven't heard anything about it being discontinued.
Feed is another one of my favorite brands, I hope they come out with more flavors. I really like the Kashi Mountain Medley granola too.
I've made my own granola a few times, and it came out great, and it really is much more economical to make your own. For some reason though I still buy it much more often than I make it, convenience I guess, plus Bear Naked is as good as homemade in my opinion. And since a lot of their flavors get most of their sweetness from unrefined sugars, and the fat is mostly all good fat from nuts and seeds, I see no reason to feel bad about buying to my granola-loving heart's content :)

I really like the bear naked chocolate granola, and the almond. I was shocked at the fat content on some of their other varieties, especially the banana nut.

I love granola with yogurt but most brands I've tried are just too sweet, so thanks for the inspiration! Yes, granola is high in fat, but the "good" fat from nuts (especially walnuts) together with rolled oats makes this a great breakfast for those seeking to lower cholesterol. In the winter I'll try this, with less dried fruit, as a baked apple stuffing.
