Product Review: Purely Elizabeth Ancient Grain Granola

[sonia]

Following up on cereal snacks, I also like to snack on granola, but there's always that worry that the oats will be cross-contaminated. Purely Elizabeth granola uses organic certified gluten-free oats, and is made in a facility that processes soy, milk, eggs, peanuts, and other tree nuts.

The Chocolate Sea Salt flavor is crunchy, chocolate-y, and delicious. For some reason, it comes with added probiotics. To seem healthier, maybe? No soy lecithin! The salt isn't overly intrusive the way it is in some chocolate salt combos. A real treat!

Full ingredients: Organic Certified Gluten Free Oats, Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Fair Trade Dark Chocolate Chunks (Organic Cane Sugar, Organic Chocolate Liquor, Organic Cocoa Butter, Organic Vanilla Extract), Sunflower Seeds, Organic Puffed Amaranth, Cocoa Powder, Organic Quinoa Flakes, Cinnamon, Sea Salt, Organic Chia Seeds, Probiotic Cultures (Inulin, Palm Oil, Bacillus Coagulans GBI-30 6086).

The Pumpkin Cinnamon flavor is also crunchy, still pretty sweet, but less obviously dessert-like. The dominant note is cinnamon. It has pumpkin seeds rather than pumpkin flesh, so it's not really pumpkin-flavored. Also delicious.

Full ingredients: Organic Certified Gluten-Free Oats, Organic Coconut Sugar, Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Organic Sunflower Seeds, Organic Puffed Amaranth, Organic Quinoa Flakes, Organic Chia Seeds, Organic Cinnamon, Sea Salt.

And I see on the Purely Elizabeth website that they now sell Chocolate Chip Cookie granola which looks pretty amazing, but I haven't had it. Has anyone here tried that?
