Different is GOOD. Okay-- more than good it is GREAT. Michaelene's Gourmet Granola is made right here in the Midwest but don't let that stop you from getting your hands on some! I had the "Honey Nutty Raisin" variety and it lived up to every expectation and then some that I had when I was ripping open the pouch. They explain it so much better than me so here is theirexcerpt:
All natural toasted oats sweetened with wildflower honey and/ or brown sugar, with a selection of supreme quality whole almonds, cashews and walnuts and raisins, to form crunchy granola chunks. No cholesterol, no hydrogenated oils, or trans fats. Low carbohydrates, sugars and very low sodium. A good source of fiber. Ingredients: rolled oats, raisins, wildflower honey, canola oil, peanuts, sunflower seeds, almonds, cashews, walnuts, cinnamon, natural almond flavor.
If you love granola like me you will fall head over heels for this cereal. They did not scrimp on any ingredient-- there were huge, whole cashews, walnuts and almonds- it was perfectly spiced and toasted with just the right amount of sweetness from the honey and raisins. I am very much looking forward to trying more mixes by Michaelene's!
