Purely Elizabeth Ancient Grain Granola

Purely Elizabeth Original Ancient Grain Granola represents the artisan end of packaged granola — certified gluten-free oats, coconut sugar instead of cane sugar, coconut oil, and a mix of seeds and ancient grains (sunflower seeds, puffed amaranth, quinoa flakes and chia seeds) with cinnamon. It is USDA Organic and labeled vegan. According to a major retailer's copy of the label, a 1/3 cup (30 g) serving has 130 calories, 2 g fiber, 3 g protein and 6 g added sugar — the least added sugar per 100 calories (4.6 g) of the confirmed labels. Coconut oil makes it higher in saturated fat than the oil-free Bob's Red Mill, and the 1/3 cup serving is small, so it is easy to eat more than the label assumes. The price is well above mass-market options — this is a granola you buy when you want breakfast to feel deliberate. For people eating granola with yogurt and fresh fruit as a planned meal, Purely Elizabeth is worth considering.
