Tasting notes: cocoa nibs, toffee, coconut
This blend’s complex flavor profile exploded on my taste buds, and, admittedly, it took me a bit by surprise. The chocolate is infused into and coated over the granola, so you won’t find the chocolate chunks you may be familiar with in other chocolate granola varieties. This blend reminded me of Almond Roca candies—thanks to its combination of buttery-toffee with nutty and chocolatey tones—but with a coconut-heavy base (sans the flaky texture of typical shredded coconut). My coconut-loving colleagues couldn’t get enough of this blend! Those who are less enthusiastic about coconut may want to steer towards one of Nana Joe’s other options (there are plenty of unique mixes to try!).
Nana Joes Review: Final Thoughts
This granola is unlike any other brand I’ve tried. For those watching their carb counts, the Paleo blends are on point, and you won’t even miss the oats.
Whether you’re searching for a new breakfast staple or something to satisfy your hunger later on, you’re sure to find it with Nana Joes. Note that some of these blends—such as those in the Paleo Sunrise Series—clump together into delectable chunks, making them great for out-of-the-bag snacking. The Sunset Blend is better for sprinkling on yogurt or incorporating into an apple crisp.
Nana Joes products are available online and at all Northern California Whole Foods locations as well as select Bay Area farmers markets and grocery stores.
