Bear Naked
Granola
Bear Naked
Granola comes in a variety of
flavors, so whatever your
preferences, there is a Bear
Naked flavor for you!
All of the
Bear Naked granola varieties are
made with wholesome,
all-natural, trans fat free
ingredients. They come in
easy-to-reseal plastic bags that
are convenient to store and
carry and all feature the
classic Bear Naked crunchy, yet
crunchy, fresh-baked texture.
While we're
sure this granola would be great
mixed in yogurt or baked into
things, we sampled each one in
the classic ways – with milk as
cereal and dry as a snack.
Across the board we give Bear
Naked thumbs up for great
flavor, texture and high
quality.
The Bear
Naked granolas are fairly high
in calories, so make sure you
read the label if you are
watching your caloric intake –
and the quarter cup "serving
size" is fairly chintzy since to
make a reasonable breakfast
really takes about ½ to ¾ of a
cup, even of this dense cereal.
On the plus side, the fat comes
mostly from great sources like
high protein nuts and the fiber
content is excellent.
Fruit and Nut
The Fruit
and Nut is the "original" from
Bear Naked – the one that
founder Kelly made in her own
kitchen and marketed locally…
One taste of this classic and it
is easy to see why she was able
to build a whole company on this
treat.
Bear Naked
Apple Cinnamon Granola
The apple
cinnamon granola was our
hands-down favorite. It is
flavorful, filling and a great
breakfast or snack.
Peanut Butter
and Jelly
While both
our testers liked the Peanut
Butter and Jelly flavor (the
newest in granola offerings from
the Bear Naked folks), we did
have a bit of debate. One tester
found the granola a little
"salty" and more "peanut butter"
than jelly, wishing the fruit
"jelly" bits were smaller and
more plentiful. Ironically, our
other tester loved the peanutty
flavor and said he could skip
the jelly bits altogether… Now,
if we just pick the fruit out
and put all the bits in one
bowl…
Peak Protein
and Peak Protein Blueberry
Walnut
Looking to
up your protein intake? These
high protein granola options
pack a protein punch while
offering the tasty Bear Naked
high quality and flavor.
You may
note that some online reviewers
have commented on the lack of
"nutrition" in Bear Naked's
granola – specifically that
there are not as many vitamins
and minerals in them as in other
cereals. This is because most
cereals are "enriched." So,
enjoy the natural goodness and
nutrients that the real food
used in these granolas provide
and just eat a healthy diet to
round out your day.
 In
addition to the standard 12
ounce bags of Bear Naked, the
cereal is also offered in larger
bags and in convenient snack
size packs. While many retailers
are now carrying Bear Naked
(including Target and Costco),
you can order it online directly
from the Bear Naked Web site and
also from Amazon.
