From ancient grains to coconut cashew, these granolas are a hit with the whole family.
The Tastiest Granola to Snack on
Granola might just be the perfect co-eating snack. I love it, and my kids love it — seems like a win-win. Here are five kinds of granola that your whole family will enjoy.
Purely Elizabeth Original Ancient Grain Granola
A little bit salty and a little bit sweet might just be the perfect granola flavor combo. Sweetness here comes from organic coconut sugar. Mix in sunflower seeds, puffed amaranth, quinoa flakes, and chia seeds and it’s a truly grain-filled bite.
BUY IT: Amazon, $6.35
RXBAR Chocolate Granola
The brand who brought you a truly transparent bar is in the granola game! This protein-packed granola is the only one on the list that includes egg whites, making it a very hearty treat indeed. In addition to the oat base, there’s also almonds, coconut sugar, almond butter, dates, peanuts, and of course, chocolate.
BUY IT: RXBAR, $7.99
88 Acres Cinnamon Maple Seed'Nola
It’s a pricier option on the list, but well worth it as oats are just a small portion of what you’ll be noshing on. It’s full of sunflower, pumpkin, and flax seeds — and gets a sweet kick from maple syrup.

Bob's Red Mill Peanut Butter Granola
Whole grain oats and roasted peanuts are the first ingredients on this granola’s label and it sure is chock full. Kids will love that it’s got the same great flavors as their PB&J sammies, but with some special sweetness from brown sugar and maple syrup. The best part? You can often find it for less than $6 a bag.
BUY IT: Bob’s Red Mill, $5.88
Cascadian Farm Coconut Cashew Granola
The most bang for your buck might be hidden amongst cereal boxes, but this brand still features oat goodness all with zero added sugars. Whole grain oats are mixed with date powder, crisp rice, dried coconut, and cashews for a not-too-sweet option that’s great in the morning or on the go.
BUY IT: Amazon, $4.49
