egg free

Udi’s has tried their hand at another gluten free product. I love their bread and muffins, let’s see of their granola is just as good.

This is their original granola, so there are no fancy robust flavors, or exotic fruits. Although this has a basic, original favor, it is not bland. The oats have a light sweet taste from wildflower honey, and the raisins, banana chips, and assorted nuts add complimentary flavors.

I ate this granola for breakfast with a little milk and it filled me up well into lunch. The oats even stayed crunchy throughout the whole bowl. The banana chips, however threw me for a loop. These banana chips are not actual dried banana, but a concoction of banana, coconut oil, sugar, and natural banana flavor. The texture was odd and slightly hard, but provided a pleasant contrasting texture with the nuts.

I thoroughly enjoyed this granola and was sad when the bag was empty.

Ratings: 5 stars

Pros: light tasting with a variety of nuts and fruits

Cons: Banana chips are an odd flavor and texture

My favorite Udi’s Granola is the Vanilla Flavor, we go through bags and bags of this stuff. Its fabulous. Also recently discovered their cinnamon/raisin bagels and they are marvelous as well. Was wondering though why the texture of Udi’s bagels and cinnamon/raisin BREAD are much much softer and taste better than their regular breads. They using something different for the bagels and the c/r bread? Also just hate Udi’s hamburger buns as have yet to get one that doesn’t crumble 1/2 way thru my hamburger.
