Promote digestion and support immunity with this granola, which provides more than 900 billion colony-forming units of probiotic bacteria per serving. Whole rolled oats, whey powder, almonds and dried raspberries offer 4 grams of fiber and 6 grams of protein. But at 14 grams of sugar, I just wish it weren’t so sweet.
Keep it simple with this certified gluten-free and nut-free blend of oats, sunflower seeds, milled flaxseeds, honey, agave and a dash of cinnamon. With no genetically modified ingredients, preservatives or refined sugar, this healthy, versatile option adds crunch to yogurt and fruit.
Rich, dark chocolate chunks make this granola taste more like dessert than a nutrient-dense snack—until you look at its list of pure, USDA Organic ingredients. Golden flaxseeds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and almonds sweetened with maple syrup deliver 5 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and only 4 grams of sugar per each one-fourth-cup serving.
Amaranth, quinoa, millet and oats pack 5 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protein into each one-third--cup serving of this gluten-free, Non-GMO Project Verified snack. Flavored with vanilla and an unexpected blueberry purée, the crunchy, whole-grain clusters also include flaxseeds for a hit of brain health-–supporting omega-3 fatty acids.
Is it granola or a guilty pleasure? After one taste of this tropical flavor-inspired granola, you won’t care. Subtly sweet, crunchy and made with a bevy of the best nuts, including cashews, macadamias, walnuts and almonds, this protein-dense snack (5 grams per serving) includes organic ingredients and no gluten.

Forget those dry, cardboard-tasting granolas of yesteryear. Granola has undergone an indulgent makeover, making many of today’s products more gourmet than grungy. We’re talking winning combinations of nutrition and flavor such as dark chocolate chunks and macadamia nuts combined with rolled oats and omega-3-rich flaxseeds.
And given granola’s new gourmet positioning, it’s no surprise that 77 percent of cold-cereal eaters now fill their bowls with granola or muesli, according to Chicago-based market research firm Mintel.
Whether they eat it for breakfast or as a snack, granola connoisseurs are assured balanced nutrition, especially as the category continues to push the innovation envelope by incorporating unexpected ingredients ranging from whey protein to probiotics. Consider these exciting new options for your store.
