I LOVE this product!! It’s like an addiction for me. Seriously. I’ve been eating 2-3 boxes of it a week for the past 3 or 4 years, and if I buy it at the local org grocery, I buy in bulk! I know, I’m a sick man. I don’t have a problem with milk, although I will eat it with almond milk or rice milk, but nothing beats organic milk with this granola. Just the right amount of milk cuts the sweetness, and if you let it sit for a few minutes and eat it slowly, by the end of the bowl it has a taste and texture that just slays me. But woe is me, my wife and I are on the GI diet, for health purposes, so I’m trying to find a Nature’s Path alternative - so far the best for me is the Optimum Slim. The Optimum Blueberry Cinnamon, however, leaves something to be desired. The cereal is good, but since the first bowl I’ve been picking out the blueberries and replacing them with organic sun-dried blueberries. The freeze dried berries turn the milk blue and I feel like I’m eating a little kid’s cereal (one on a bad diet. I know, I know, it’s not BooBerry), and the berries just don’t cut it flavor wise. Frankly, I’m surprised that NP would use these in the product. Sun-dried blueberries anyone? But hey, all that blueberry stuff aside, the Pumpkin Granola is, to me, the best cold cereal/granola ever! And when we do allow ourselves a bit of a treat it is what I’ll choose, to be sure. The only reason I would say lower the sugar, is so I could have it more often - but then again, I think it’s perfect. I could never get sick of this granola. Mmmm….Pumpkin Granola….

i have the same question as many others. does the product explicitly contain gluten, or do you say it’s not gluten-free just because of the oats? i, like many others, am ok with oats but not gluten. please clarify. thank you. bp

This granola sounds great, but I bought it for the pumpkin and omega-3 and there are very few pumpkin seeds per serving and the omega-3 flax is whole not ground which is indigestible, and it contains way too much sugar/fat. It should be called Oat/Sugar/Soy oil Granola.

My children enjoy your Hemp Plus cereal, but with 10 grams of sugar per serving, it’s almost as bad as the commercial cereals aimed at kids. My one daughter even finds it a bit too sweet and has to switch to another cereal every once in a while. My question is, why in a natural, healthy brand/type of cereal is there so much sugar? Thanks.

Love that you are organic, ethical, and local! Myra, Quesnel BC

This is a great granola! i like the hemp plus one the best, but I’ve heard pumpkin seeds are beneficial for prostate health (prevention of prostate cancer) so i alternate between the two. Also my girlfriend has celiacs and does not eat gluten but is able to eat this granola, oats are ok for her too

This cereal is amazing, filling delicious, and healthy. I love it and it’s has become my favorite cereal, without a bowl of it everyday I feel lost.

I have to thank you for providing this amazing cereal. After years of battling wieght gain, your cereal was the key. I am so filled up with a big bowl of this every morning that I can’t eat until 1pm. My appetite is curbed by the high fiber content and it is so filling. The cereal has also put my daily degestive process “back on track” if you know what I mean. I am regular. I have lost 10 lbs in 3 months thanks to your cereal. Many thanks !

I would like to second the question on the gluten free issue concerning oats. I am gluten sensitive, but my ND told me I can eat oats. Does the cereal contain gluten in its ingredients (besides the oats) or is it purely to be on the safe side because of the cross-contamination issue? Thank you!

I have just begun a gluten free diet. I guess I don’t yet understand finding gluten on the labels. Where is the gluten hiding in the FlaxPlus Granola?

Great with Strawberry Yogurt! I wanted to reduce my cholesterol and stumbled on this at Sams in the double box. My daughter put me onto the yogurt and it is great! I have this every other day with steel cut oatmeal being the other choice for the odd days! Oh and by the way my cholesterol with my new program is very good!

This is my favorite cereal.

To those alarmed by the high fat content, don’t let it turn you off. Most of the fat in this product comes in the form of mono and polyunsaturated fat - types of lipids that you want to be consuming in higher volumes than saturated ones. As long as you realize that this granola is very energy dense (lots of calories per volume of food), it can make a great addition to any healthy diet. Enjoy it sparingly! :)

Hi there, This is a fantastic granola—- no coconut, no nut, just plain but excellent taste you can add to yoghurt or whatever. However, why is it so high in fat? And even though Wal Mart is kind of a weird place in my view: They sell it for only $2.98, so I don’t have to go to Whole Foods anymore and pay their crazy price.

is this cereal gluten free?
