Upfront Foods contacted me a couple of weeks ago to try out their new product and I was thrilled when I saw it in my mailbox! The packaging was super cute! The granola is sold in small convienient 'grab n go' 1/2 cup portions, making it a quick and easy option when you're running out of the house or for a kids lunchbox. I don't know about you, but after getting myself ready, my daughter dressed and fed and my baby dressed and fed all before 7:30 am, I always grab something quick that I can eat in the car on the way to school and then to the gym. These little packs made a great option.
Although the calorie count is a little high, it is full of heart healthy nuts, full of good fats (Yes! - there are good fats!). The granola boasts 2 organic ingredients among the 9 listed. I do wish the brown sugar was organic, as Im a freak about non-organic sugars, but the taste was pretty damn good. Actually, it may have been one of the best granolas Ive ever had to be perfectly honest. This granola wasn't too crunchy. Often, when eating granola Im afraid of chipping a damn tooth. This had just a light crunch and paired well with my non-dairy yogurt! My 5 year old tried it and LOVED it!
All in all, I would definately buy them. And you will want to buy it too after you try it!

ReplyDeleteI really want to start introducing more healthy foods into my diet, so this could be a good way to start. I am in the 'learning' process, which is hard when you have a family who LOVES food! I would try it with yoghurt for breakfast or a snack between meals!

DeletePick me Trish Gillette...I'm probably too late already :o)
ReplyDeleteLove the article! I'm always looking for new healthy snacks. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteToo late to win but we love to eat granola mixed with soy yogurt. It's what my 1 1/2 year old has for breakfast every morning! My 3 1/2 year old likes it dry.
ReplyDeleteToo late for me too, but I do love granola!
ReplyDeleteOk so I was one of the first 5 to comment but didn't say what I would pair it with...So does that disqualify me? I think I like the idea of pairing the granola with yogurt and fresh or freeze dried fruit. Let me know, thanks.
