It’s Finally My Turn…

written by Parita Leave a Comment

…to taste the LOVE!  Love Grown Granola that is!  Y’all have no idea how excited I was when Laura from Love Grown Foods contacted me about trying their granola.  I think I screamed YES at my computer as soon as I finished reading her email.  I really was that excited!

I raced home after work today to pick up my box of goodness from the front office.  The doors were locked, but I saw someone walking around so I knocked and knocked and knocked until she came and opened the door for me.  Obnoxious?  Maybe.  But in my defense, I’ve been waiting months to try this stuff.  Smile

And the wait was sure worth it.  Laura was kind enough to send me not just one but three whole bags of granola plus some little sample bags.  Granola heaven here I come!

LGG 002

First off, let me just say that I LOVE what this company stands for – the balance between “living a healthy life while still enjoying great tasting foods.”  And to top it off, the granola is free of added chemicals, free of gluten, free of trans fats, and free of a lot of other nasty things.  In other words, it’s simple, wholesome, and delicious!

The three varieties I was sent included Raisin Almond Crunch, Sweet Cranberry Pecan, and Cocoa Goodness.

First up was the Raisin Almond Crunch…

LGG 007

It really was the perfect mix of sweet and crunchy.  I’m not a huge fan of raisins, but there was a really good balance of all the ingredients.  I can see myself eating this with some thick Greek yogurt for breakfast or as a snack.

Next up was the Sweet Cranberry Pecan…

LGG 005

I don’t even know what to say about this one.  It wasn’t too sweet, the flavors of all the ingredients shined through, and I can definitely see myself gobbling this up in less than 48 hours.  Oh boy…

And finally, the granola that stole my taste buds away…Cocoa Goodness…

LGG 008

It’s not a huge surprise that this one ended up being my favorite.  I am a self-proclaimed chocoholic after all.  What I loved the most about it was the natural, subtle chocolate taste.  Oh, and the little pieces of dark chocolate helped too… Smile  YUM!  This one will definitely be eaten straight out of the bag.  Fun times ahead!

If you ever get the chance to try this stuff, go for it…no disappointments here!

Well, off I go to wash some dishes, clean up a little bit, and chow down snack on some granola.

Disclaimer: Love Grown Granola was kind enough to send me these complimentary samples.  I was not compensated for my review of their products.  All opinions stated are my own.

Are you a granola lover?  If you could try any one of the Love Grown Granolas, which one would it be?

P.S. Stay tuned for a fun giveaway on here tomorrow…it’s a very special day for myinnershakti!!!

    I have never tried love grown granolas before, so if I had to pick a flavor it would be the chocolate one!

    I love LoveGrown! I have the apple walnut flavor at home and it’s fantastic, tons of sweet apples and large pieces of walnut. I have got to try that chocolate flavor.

    That pecan flavor sounds good! I’ve never tried Love Grown before. What is the sugar content like?

      Oh you would love all of them! They aren’t very sweet at all – about 6 grams per serving. And it’s not refined sugar. They use honey and agave. SO GOOD!
