Sweet Diane's Granola Review

 

Based in San Rafael, California, is a woman-owned company that makes small batched Granola. The company is called, Sweet Diane's Granola, and it comes in three yummy flavors.

This small batched granola is fresh and made with simple nutrient ingredients. There is no gluten or other additives, just pure clean plant-based ingredients in every bite you take. Your getting healthy protein and fats that will help give you more energy and a healthier lifestyle.

Sweet Diane's has a manta which is "Plant-Based Comfort Food". The best part is you will never know any of the three flavored granola products are plant-based. What you get is a powerhouse of superfoods in each bag. Sweet Diane's is a specialty granola, that is high in protein, is gluten-free, vegan, has healthy fats, and is palm oil-free. Sweet Diane's natural and organic ingredients create divine granola that you benefit from in many ways.

This is a wonderful tasting granola that can be enjoyed by everyone no matter what diet they follow. You can eat the granola with almond milk, top your smoothies or yogurts, or just treat yourself to a snack right from the bag.

My day began with a delicious yogurt bowl made with Sweet Diane's original granola. At only 160 calories this granola is packed with dense ingredients that include five grams of protein per serving.  Ingredients that make up this granola are organic rolled oats, organic pumpkin seeds, pecans, maple syrup, organic sunflower seeds, extra virgin organic olive oil, organic coconut chips, organic flax seeds, sea salt, and spices.  Added to yogurt with other yummy toppings, this adds a nice flavor and crunch. I also added a drizzle of peanut butter and fudge for extra flavor.

The rest of the day I made some rich and luscious snacks for everyone. First up was some blueberry almond granola snack bars. This bag is filled with ingredients such as organic rolled oats, almonds, organic pumpkin seeds, maple syrup, dried blueberries, organic sunflower seeds, organic coconut oil, sea salt, and spices. There are plenty of sweet blueberries, and yummy crunch almonds abound. You can cook with Sweet Diane's Granola, or just grab some straight from the bag for an on-the-go snack, or hold over between meals.

The next flavor from Sweet Diane's Granola is their orange cranberry and with that, I made some finger-licking muffins. They had the most delightful crunch to them from the granola. And the ingredients of organic rolled oats, pecans, maple syrup, organic sunflower seeds, organic dried cranberries, organic coconut oil, essential orange oil, sea salt, and spices, added all the flavor needed.

Again with Sweet Diane's Granola, I made a nice strudel. Instead of store-bought nuts, the Sweet Diane's (gives back click here), made it more special. Every bite you got to taste the delicious granola.
