Bear Naked Custom Granola Review September 2017

From the packing tape to the canister lids, there are so many cute details in the package design.

Chocolate Chip Cookie, 11 0z. 

First of all, I love that Bear Naked Custom Made Granola went with a cookie theme for this month. It seems that this epic winter was MADE for cookies. Who doesn't love a plate of warm cookies on an extra chilly day while nestled on the couch? This granola definitely channeled that 'fresh-out-of-the-oven and gooey with a side of milk' vibe that I was hoping for. The honey granola gives it a light and naturally sweet base while the chocolate chunks and walnuts really drive the cookie flavor home. The addition of red sea salt balances the mix and really grounds the granola as versatile enough to eat on its own. This one is pretty loose, though (meaning, no substantial pieces), so it works particularly well in milk or to sprinkle on top of yogurt.

Oatmeal Cookie, 11 0z.

As a true fan of oatmeal cookies (preferable to chocolate chip, even - controversial, I know!), this granola mix was my dream come true. It even had one of my favorite ingredients: coconut! I didn't find the cacao and cashew butter base granola to be much different than the honey, but it provided a subtle sweetness to the mix. The cinnamon was very prominent and, paired with the nutty granola base, created a lightly spiced, familiar oatmeal-like combination. The coconut and dried cranberries added a creaminess as well as a pop of tartness with every few bites. So good! And a bit crunchier than the Chocolate Chip Cookie mix. I enjoyed this with my usual yogurt, chia seeds, and a drizzle of honey for a quite nostalgic-tasting breakfast.

Verdict: This was my fourth curated box of granola from Bear Naked Custom Made Granola, and it was absolutely my favorite. They just keep getting better and better! I love that their flavors are so consistently interesting, and I continue to be thrilled by the adorable packaging. At $18.99 per box, each 11 0z. canister comes in at $9.50. As an avid consumer of granola, the value is worth it to me, especially if you enjoy special flavor combinations and seasonal blends.

It looks like they have a lot of the mix-ins, not just a sprinkling like some other specialty granola
