Nature Valley Granola Protein and Soft- Baked Product Review

October 3, 2013 by Pam Maynard

Taste the Goodness!! NV_High_Protein_Granola_Oats_n_Dark_Chocolate

I was given this product, free of charge, for purposes of this review.  All opinions are 100% my own.

 A loose, bagged granola product, Nature Valley Protein Granola contains 10 grams of protein and at least 23 grams of whole grain (48 grams of whole grain recommended daily); it’s available in two varieties – Oats ‘n Dark Chocolate and Oats ‘n Honey.  Mix it in your yogurt for added crunch and taste!!

This Granola has become a fast favorite mix-in for breakfast!  My hubby loves it in any type of cereal.  I love it in my yogurt and my son loves it with anything, even potato chips!  Because it has added protein, my breakfast sticks with me much longer than eating yogurt alone.  The crunch and touch of sweetness goes so well with anything!  We love the Dark Chocolate just as much as the Oats n’ Honey.  In my yogurt, the Oats n’ Honey are perfect!

We highly recommend Protein Granola to anyone who loves crunchy sweetness!!  Try them both, you won’t be disappointed.

Nature Valley Soft-Baked Oatmeal Squares are made with 100 percent natural whole grain oats and are available in two delicious flavors – Cinnamon Brown Sugar and Peanut Butter. They have 12 grams of whole grain and baked to perfection!

My hubby loves the Peanut Butter Oatmeal squares the best.  He is a big PB fan!!  They are so soft and delicious that you can’t stop eating them.  They only thing we didn’t like about them was dropping crumbs all over and wasting it!  The “icing” is the perfect touch of sweetness too.

My son loves the Cinnamon and Brown Sugar bars. I love that he has a healthy snack at school or when he gets home.  His friends all want to try them too!

We highly recommend BOTH varieties of Oatmeal Squares.  I like them both, so you will have to just try them both!
