Good Life Granola!

Good Life Granola! Benjamin ate this on April 19, 2010

Alright, so, I’m more known for my penchant for Kazoozles, Zebra Cakes, Beef Jerky, Gushers, etc.  But you know, every once in a while you want something that, you know, is actual food as a snack.  Don’t worry, my love of artificial flavors and colors isn’t going anywhere – I’m just showing my multi-disciplinary snacking ability.  So, Good Life Granola – its about as simple as you’d want it to be.  Ingredients: Oats, Pecans, Almonds, Brown Sugar, Maple Syrup, Canola Oil, Cinnamon, Sea Salt, and Vanilla.  All natural.  I was super hungry last night before I went to bed and this stuff hit the spot.  Sweet and toasty is how I’d describe the taste.  And, its a local company here in West Michigan so I’ve got a bit of bias.

Did you finish the whole thing?

Almost.  But I’m finished it here at my office right now – actually had it for breakfast this morning too.

Who would like it better myself or Adam?

Honestly, I think Adam might like this more than I do – maybe.  He’s got that hiker kind of vibe a little, drives a Jetta, wants a rack on it, wants a Subaru, wears a cycling cap when not cycling, etc.  You know, granola-y things.  (Haha, sorry Adam, joking, joking.)   But, I didn’t give him any so I guess we’ll never know.

First word after your first bite?  How about other words?

Toasty.  Don’t know, just tasted nice and toasty to me.  Not like actual bread-toast, but more like, toasted oats.

Thoughts on the packaging?

I think it could use a little work – doesn’t quite look as good as it tastes.

Where were you when you at this snack?

The first time?  In my bed watching Hulu.  Not as bad as crackers – but hindsight being 20/20, I wouldn’t do it again.

    Love the granola review. Nice change of pace.

    I would love to see a “Best of” section, or each of your Top 5 snacks reviewed.

    Thanks for the comment Brent. Yeah, we thought about doing that – something like a top 10 list or something. We nixed it because we thought it would either a) change too often or b) not change enough because whats better than Doritos???? Ha.
