Review of Cascadian Farm Organic Oats & Honey Granola

A while back, I started searching for a good granola cereal that I could eat either as packaged or with some additions for personalization. I have finally found one. Cascadian Farm Organic Oats & Honey Granola is a simple granola with a good texture. It's an organic product with quality ingredients, including oats, crisp rice, molasses, honey, and vanilla extract. A 17-ounce box costs $4.99 at my local store; this is a bit pricy, but I don't mind because it tastes delicious.

Cascadian Farm Organic Oats & Honey Granola: Serving Suggestions

This is a very good granola cereal. I like it by itself or as a base. So far, between us, my husband and I have added whole roasted unsalted almonds, milk chocolate chips, Craisins dried cranberries, golden raisins, and cashews, in various combinations. Although I like this cereal as packaged, my favorite way to eat it is to add a few almonds to the mix. My husband's favorite combination is almonds, Craisins, and chocolate chips.

According to the website, this cereal contains soy products in the form of soy lecithin and the possible use of soybean oil. However, the box I have doesn't mention soy at all, and I don't know whether it's an older box or the website simply hasn't been updated. If I can find out, I'll update the information, but in the meantime, anyone wishing to avoid soy should check the box before purchasing.
