Loose oats and honey crunchy granola (pouch). 1/4 cup serving: 120 kcal, 1 g fiber, 2 g protein, 7 g added sugar. Contains soy; not labeled gluten-free.
Nature Valley's loose Oats & Honey Crunchy Granola (the pouch, not the bars) is the mass-market baseline — widely sold and the familiar toasted oat-and-honey flavor many people associate with granola. Per the maker, a 1/4 cup serving has 120 calories, 4.5 g fat, 1 g fiber, 2 g protein and 7 g added sugar, with 14 g of whole grain. The small serving makes the per-serving sugar look low, but per 100 calories it has the most added sugar (5.8 g) and the least fiber (0.8 g) and protein (1.7 g) of the confirmed labels. The ingredient list is longer than Bob's Red Mill's — whole grain oats, sugar, canola and/or sunflower oil, rice flour, honey, brown sugar syrup, salt, baking soda, soy lecithin and natural flavor — and it contains soy. It is priced below the premium options. The choice for households where granola is a volume staple or a crunchy topping rather than the main part of breakfast.
Pros
- Small 1/4 cup (120 kcal) labeled serving makes portioning as a topping easy
- Widely sold at mass-market grocers, priced below premium brands
- 14 g whole grain per serving, per the maker
Cons
- Least fiber and protein per 100 calories here; contains soy and is not labeled gluten-free
