Back to Nature Cranberry Pecan Granola
I picked up this granola at my local grocery store several days ago, simply because it wasn’t as expensive as my beloved Bear Naked.

The verdict? The nutrition facts are good. No artificial preservatives, flavors, or colors. 25g of whole grain per serving. It’s lower cal and fat per 1/4 cup than Bear Naked. Plus, I believe it had more grams of whole grain than Bear Naked! Taste? Very good. It has a great sweetness and crunch! It was also had a great nutty flavor to it. I’m not big on the cranberries though. They just kind of taste funky me. I’m not sure if I would buy this exact flavor again or not? Simple just because of the cranberries. I’m definitely going to try different flavors from the company though. Did I mention it’s cheaper than Bear Naked!
