Food Label for Keto-friendly nut granola: KIND
This is a relatively healthy nut-based granola alternative with a clean ingredient profile. The first ingredient is almonds, followed by other whole nuts and seeds, making it more nutritious than typical grain-based granolas. Key benefits: - High in healthy fats (10g per serving, mostly from nuts) with a good balance of mono and polyunsaturated fats - Good fiber content (4g per serving, 14% DV) from whole food sources - No artificial sweeteners or sugar alcohols, using allulose instead (a naturally occurring rare sugar with minimal glycemic impact) Minor concerns: - Contains canola oil, though likely in small amounts given its position in the ingredient list - Calorie-dense at 130 calories per 1/3 cup serving - portion control is important Usage advice: This makes a good snack option, but measure portions since nuts are calorie-dense. For a more filling snack, pair it with some plain Greek yogurt for added protein. If you're looking for alternatives, consider making your own nut/seed mix without added oils, or look for similar products that use coconut oil instead of canola oil.
