Nature's Path Review and Giveaway

Granola is one of those versatile foods that taste great when mixed with practically anything. Pair granola with honey, cinnamon, chocolate chips, m&ms, peanuts, or even fruit and it tastes awesome. I love that granola is a great mid-day snack, perfect for school lunches, and even delicious on top of ice cream too! Those crunchy clusters are truly irresistible.



Nature's Path was found by Arran and Ratana Stephens in 1985. Nature’s Path Organic Foods® was formed because of their passion for creating healthy, delicious, organic breakfast food. It’s Nature’s Path’s reason for being, which explains why it is the number one organic cereal manufacturer in North America.

If you're looking for delicious and natural foods, please turn your attention to Nature's Path. They produce whole grain cereals, hot cereals, pancake mix and waffles, granola, granola bars and more! The products come in a range of different flavors and there's something for anyone's taste.

Nature's Path has recently come out with four new Love Crunch granolas. I've had the Love Crunch cereal before and it was heavenly. I knew that I couldn't pass up the chance to try these new snacks! The packaging of the granola is very cute. I love the little "window" that the front has so you can view the yummy snack that's about to meet its match with your stomach!

The Love Crunch Granola comes in four flavors:


Aloha Blend – a tropical treat filled with pineapple, coconut and white chocolate chunks with 14 grams of Whole Grains per serving, no cholesterol, low sodium and no trans fat.


a deliciously sweet blend of green apples, pecans and cinnamon, with omega-3 and fiber-rich chia seeds that has 15 grams of Whole Grains per serving, no cholesterol, low sodium, no trans fat and is a good source of ALA Omega-3.


a melt-in-your-mouth combination of carrots, raisins, yogurt, pecans and pineapple with 15 grams of Whole Grains per serving, no cholesterol, low sodium and no trans fat.


the perfect marriage of flax granola, strawberries, raspberries, coconut and dark chocolate chunks that has 14 grams of Whole Grains per serving, no cholesterol, low sodium, no trans fat and is an excellent source of ALA Omega-3.

These granolas were fantastic. The granola was large and full of flavor and each bite did not disappoint! I loved that they have such a high amount of whole grains per serving. That's very important to me!

The dark chocolate with raspberries was hands down my favorite. I had a VERY hard time not eating the whole bag in one sitting. It was just beyond good! I love any foods that combine raspberry and chocolate together, and this granola definitely had my name written all over it. :) The fresh flavor of the raspberries and the dark chocolate chunks were magical together! The granola was perfectly crunchy and had just the right amount of sweetness to it. The dark chocolate had a mild hint of sweetness, the raspberry pieces were tart and the coconut was definitely noticeable too. The raspberries and chocolate chunks were evenly distributed throughout the whole bag. This granola would go well with a small bowl of yogurt, or even with a bowl of fresh fruit too. Everything tied together wonderfully to create my new favorite granola! I highly recommend that you try this snack if you haven't already. It's highly addictive though! :)

The apple crumble reminded me of a warm, fresh out of the oven apple sweet treat but without all of the fat and calories. The pairing of cinnamon and apples is such a classic pairing, and I enjoyed the way they taste together. The pecans gave the granola an extra notch of crunchiness which I loved! The apple pieces were petite, crunchy, and sweet, and evenly distributed throughout the granola. The cinnamon gave the granola a nice kick of sugary sweetness. This is a great snack to indulge in whenever you're looking for a pick-me-up treat.

I was not a big fan of the carrot cake granola. I know many people like carrot cake and would appreciate this granola.

With one bite of the aloha blend granola, I was transported to an exotic island in Hawaii! The combination of the pineapple, coconut, and white chocolate was a very interesting one. The pineapple was fresh and sweet, the coconut was smooth and refreshing, and the white chocolate gave the granola the sweet touch that it needed. With each bite of the granola, your taste buds are delighted with fantastic flavors! The granola chunks are large and in charge and each bite was better than the last. I would certainly recommend this blend of granola if you're looking for a unique snack!

To spread the love even more, for each bag of Love Crunch sold, Nature’s Path will donate the equivalent in cereal or cash (up to $1 million) to food banks. This “Bite4Bite” initiative bundles the goodwill of all the consumers buying Love Crunch into what Nature’s Path calls “love miracles” by helping to ease hunger for those who need it most.
