Nice and Nobbly Granola

Firstly I must apologise for the year long hiatus. My only excuse is the fact that my millennial tendencies led me in the belief that other foods, such as kale smoothies and avocado on toast, were perhaps a better start to the day than a humble bowl of cereal. However, having explored all options fully, I have returned full circle realising that nothing compares to you, cereal.




With the leaves on the trees turning a wonderful array of amber and pumpkin spice taking over every flavour combination in any food outlet, it's difficult to ignore the first signs of autumn. In a celebration of the turn of the season, I myself have decided to delve into the flavours of fall having been recommended Nature's Path Organic Gluten Free Nice and Nobbly Granola. The bright orange packaging was enough to entice me on a chilly September morn. While those with an intolerance to wheat will naturally gravitate towards this wonderful gluten free option, I fear that the amount of sugar in this granola could turn even a bumble bee diabetic. The cinnamon flavouring is overpowered by these high levels of sugar, which is somewhat of a shame in my opinion as cinnamon is the essence of warmth, the edible equivalent of a cosy tartan blanket. Nonetheless, this granola stays true to its nobbly namesake with generous helpings of almonds, pumpkin seeds and raisins, as promised on the packet. As for the crunch factor, this granola turns from nice and nobbly to soggy and wobbly in a matter of seconds, however, the seeds, nuts and raisins make up for this adding extra crunch, chew and intrigue. Perhaps the lack of glutenous fibres could explain this granola's tendency to go soft so soon, but in my opinion it doesn't affect the overall experience.
