This "Paleonola" is a decent grain-free granola option with a clean ingredient list dominated by nuts and seeds - real, whole food sources of protein and healthy fats. The 13g fat per serving comes primarily from nutrient-dense nuts and organic coconut oil, providing beneficial mono and polyunsaturated fats along with some saturated fat from coconut.
Benefits:
- High in protein (4g) and fiber (2g) for a small 28g serving
- Uses whole food ingredients with no artificial additives or preservatives
- Relatively low in added sugars (2g) compared to typical granolas
Downsides:
- Calorie-dense at 155 calories per 1/4 cup serving - portion control is important
- Price point likely higher than conventional granolas due to premium ingredients
The marketing claims about "real food" are actually backed up by the clean ingredient list. While coconut oil remains debated, its presence here in a supporting role isn't concerning given the overall nutritional profile.
