In a world full of sugar-filled breakfasts and snacks the importance of a tasty yet healthy way to fuel your day is emphasized. For those looking for a convenient option that you can eat on its own or incorporate into other recipes granola is an option to consider. The nutritional content of granola can vary widely as it is typically made up of both whole grains and sweeteners. Some brands’ options can pretend to be good for you when in reality they are full of harmful ingredients while others offer a healthy experience. Both types of granola grace the shelves of grocery stores making it important to discern which brands at your grocery store are actually worth buying.

Don’t let that scare you off though. If celebrity chef Ina Garten prefers to buy pre-made granola rather than make it herself that means there are some good options out there. You just have to know what to look for. Healthy granola doesn’t contain an astonishingly high amount of calories added sugar or saturated fat. It contains a balanced amount of those calories plus protein where possible. And of course it should taste good too. Based on these factors we’ve compiled a list of some of the most common granola brands in stores and ranked them from worst to best. Prices may vary based on location.
While it pains us to put an affordable option at the bottom of the list the last place unfortunately goes to Millville. This granola brand can be found at Aldi a retailer known for its cheap products that are comparable to more expensive brand-name items. That’s usually all people need to hear to get them to this store. But there are a few things to keep in mind before you make your first trip to Aldi. The most important is the fact that while the supermarket may offer cheaper products sometimes it’s wiser to pay extra if you can to get an overall better product.
This is one to consider when it comes to Aldi’s granola. Despite Millville’s killer price of $3.69 the nutritionals and flavors aren’t all that impressive. Some bags like the cinnamon variety list a serving size of ¼ cup. You’ll likely consume double that meager serving which comes to 12 grams of sugar. That doesn’t quite match the light flavors that only show up as an aftertaste. But if sugar levels don’t bother you and you’re looking for a subtle flavor consider Millville again. The subtle flavor would work well as an addition to say a bowl of apple-cinnamon oatmeal.
