Ola! Granola Review and Giveaway

Posted on 18:17 by Unknown



Granola is one of my very favorite foods and I am willing to try just about any blend available, especially if it is all-natural. I have learned over time that all granola is not created equal and there are real differences in the quality available. Ola! Natural Granola offers handbaked 100% natural granola with minimal ingredients. Varieties include Vanilla Almond, No Nut Vanilla, and Cranberry Orange Pecan. They are lightly sweetened with pure maple sugar and have less sodium, fat, calories, and sugar.  They are available for purchase in 9oz bags, 6 single pack trays or loose singles (Vanilla Almond and No Nut Vanilla), bulk bags, and gift jars.


Ola! offers the following recipe ideas to make the most of your granola:

Scoop into pancake of waffle batter

Top spinach or chopped salad

Coat fillet of sole

Topping for a berry or fruit cobbler

Layer into yogurt parfait cups

Add to a peanut butter and jelly sandwich

Crust chicken fingers

Sprinkle chocolate dipped strawberries

Mix into your favorite muffin or scones

Toss into Cape Cod chicken salad

Stuff into pork shops or Cornish game hens

Fill baked apples

Review:  I have tried so many different granolas and, for the most part, I have not noticed a big difference in taste between differing flavors. However, Ola!  varieties each have their own unique taste.  The Cranberry Orange has a great overall granola flavor but you can definitely taste the fruits (without it being too overwhelming). I enjoyed this granola straight out of the bag but would also love to try it as a breading for chicken. The Vanilla Almond and the  No Nut Vanilla were extremely tasty as well. I sprinkled these on tops of my yogurt in the morning and found that adding the granola not only made the yogurt taste better, but it also kept me satiated longer so I was not tempted to snack more than necessary throughout the morning. 

The 1-oz packs were great. I could through them in my bag so I had a healthy snack for the day and it prevented me from mindlessly overeating (which happens often at work). I love that they are made with all-natural ingredients as I have been working to replace unhealthy snacks with healthier ones. I was definitely happy with each of the granolas and will gladly purchase in the future.
