Boulder Granola Review & Giveaway

Besides the obvious fact that I’d like the logo (Unleash your inner hippie and my love/desire for a VW Vanagon!), this granola is awesome!

After reading the story about Boulder Granola’s roots, I’m loving it even more!
First, read how it came to be then I’ll get to my review and the giveaway!

Boulder Granola’s Story
So I’m devoting it to my other child, Boulder Granola –
along with incorporating all of the things I’ve learned over the years, both in the kitchen and out, in order to unleash my inner Hippie!

What does that mean you might ask? It means taking the grooviest part of those “anything is possible” days of the ‘60s, adding years of experience, spicing it up with newfound wisdom, to unveil your modern day Hippie values.

My philosophy is simple. Simple ingredients, delicious pure love. And like all things in Boulder, it’s a community effort. I, and my staff, work with as many local sources as possible to create a fulfilling work environment for everyone who lends a hand in creating our special oats. And Boulder Granola offers a full line of “ORGANIC certified gluten-free oats” granola for anyone with gluten sensitivities so that everyone can enjoy the delicious and nutritious taste of these granolas.

By the way, did you know that HIPPIE is an acronym meaning Happy, Intelligent People Pursuing Infinite Enlightenment. The pursuit of enlightenment…. that’s a good thing, right? I can dig it. Can you?

Now for my review!
I received the large bag of Chocolate Chip Granola and had to fight off my daughter for it!
Which in itself says a lot since normally she won’t eat granola, much less fight me for it!

Now, you can see why she and I were fighting for it.
Big chunks of granola, chocolate and almonds.
Yum!
I was going to try it on some ice cream, in some yogurt and with some almond milk…. but ummmmm that never happened.
I had good intentions on enjoying and savoring it bite by bite and trying it in different ways…
instead, it was devoured straight out of the bag!

(and bowl so you could see a close up of it!)

And for no other reason than the fact that I had the perfect backdrop for this perfect granola, enjoy this picture!

I mean c’mon, how often is it that I get to flaunt my hippie side while living in South Florida?
Not often!

I also reviewed the Original Boulder Granola too.

This was the perfect blend of nuts, seeds and oats!

Read about the healthy ingredients that are used in Boulder Granola products and you’ll see why I love the granola and am glad my daughter actually does too!
