Product: Purely Elizabeth Original Ancient Grains Granola Cereal – $6.99+

Pure.  Simple.  Original.  Natural.  Organic.  Gluten-Free.

That is a love letter of goodness if you ask me.  Because this only proves that you don’t need to dress up something to make it taste good.  You can let the pure, simple, clean ingredients speak for themselves.  And that is exactly what Purely Elizabeth brand Original Ancient Grains Granola Cereal does.  Let me tell you, I could eat this stuff by the handful, without anything to top it off or add flavor.  Honestly…it’s amazing on its own.

But I tend to use granola in my infamous breakfast parfaits, teaming it with Greek yogurt and fresh fruit of some variety (whatever may have been in the CSA bin that week).  So, if it works well on its own, chances are it will be brilliant when paired with something else of equal deliciousness.  And Greek yogurt and fresh fruit…is definitely winning!

So…let’s start with the basics of this very basic (but highly impressive) granola.  The Original Ancient Grains Granola Cereal is a blend of organic certified gluten-free oats, organic coconut palm sugar (for sweetness), organic raw virgin coconut oil, organic puffed amaranth, organic quinoa flakes, organic sunflower seeds, organic chia sees, organic cinnamon, and sea salt.  I think I spy some organic, all-natural ingredients.  Not one chemical or preservative is listed.  This is the real deal and it’s packaged to be as clean and as healthy as possible.  This granola is non-GMO project certified, free of refined sugar, soy-free, loaded with good-for-you fats, sweetened with organic coconut sugar.  It is certified vegan, contains no artificial colors or flavors.  All of it is hand baked and obviously made with love.

Don’t let the fact that it isn’t paired with dried fruits or something to bring it extra flavor deter you from this variety.  This version doesn’t need it.  Honestly, it is full of amazing flavor all on its own.  The oats, puffed amaranth, quinoa flakes, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds are perfectly coated with the right amount of sweetness, pulled from the organic palm sugar.  The hint of cinnamon adds a little bit more flavor.  And all of it, the taste, the texture, the fantastic flavor…it is just rockstar.  I can’t even imagine going back to other granola after continuing to be impressed by each variety of Purely Elizabeth granola cereals that I have tried.

So…nutritionally speaking, a serving of Purely Elizabeth Original Ancient Grains Granola Cereal is 1/3 cup.  This serving will provide you with 140 calories and 6 grams of fat.  There are 2 grams of fiber in each serving and 4 grams of protein.  In addition, this granola is cholesterol free and low in sodium (110 mg).  So…delicious and oh, so good for you.  Loving it.

If I were to purchase only one brand of granola from here on out…Purely Elizabeth would be the brand I would choose.  It’s addictively good…and good for you.  Give it a try…you won’t be disappointed.  And don’t think Original means plain.  There is nothing plain about this version of the granola.  Simply put…it’s purely delicious.
