Julian Bakery ProGranola Cereal | Vanilla Cinnamon | 12g Protein | Paleo | 2 Net Carbs | Gluten-Free | Grain-Free | 2 Pack

The reviews on this product are all over the place and I think the bad ones are often due to having unrealistic expectations. There is no replacing the sugary taste of Nature Valley granola bars or the sugar laden cereals you've been eating forever. But, if you are on a Keto, or similar, diet you are likely missing these types of tastes and textures the deeper you get into your diet and your weight loss.Like Almond milk or real butter, your brain is going to have to adapt to the new way these changes in our diets taste. This ProGranola is one of those things. Does it have a different aftertaste? Yes, but after the first time eating it I didn't notice it much again. However, it is never going to be a chocolate chip granola bar no matter how much you want it to be!Reviews say the pieces are either too big and chunky or too crumbly. Guess what? They are both. Like any box/bag of any crunchy product (chips, cereal, nuts, cookies) the further you get into the bag, the smaller the pieces are. This is not ProGranola's fault, it's called gravity. I eat the big crunchy pieces on the go like a traditional bar or snack and use the smaller pieces in the bottom of the bag in a bowl of cereal with Almond Milk (thing unsweetened Grape Nuts).The next biggest complaint seems to be the cost. Yes, it is expensive, but so is everything else associated with eating packaged, low carb foods that are made to help fight cravings and fill the void left by the carbs that we aren't eating anymore. But, you know what else is expensive? Diabetes, blood pressure, thyroid and cholesterol medications...not to mention the cost of open heart surgery and funerals if you don't control your weight! There are a lot worse things you could spend your food budget on...I think this is a great product and highly recommend it. It tastes pretty dang good, fills a void in the Keto lifestyle, and should not be overlooked because of unrealistic expectations and the resulting mixed and bad reviews.

I don't know what all the bad reviews are about to be honest. They held me back from wanting to purchase the granola, but I decided to try it out anyway.One thing people were complaining about is the size of the granola saying it's too big, which i think is a dumb complaint personally. They also said it was too hard to bite, which i also don't agree with whatsoever, maybe it was too hard in the past, but what i got was perfectly crunchy, and I loved that it never got to soggy in the milk! Also I think the sweetness level is pretty good. A lot of time when I get something sweetend with monk fruit it way too sweet, but I thought this was pretty perfect.My one and only complaint is that I do wish that every ingredient was organic, but im sure it would just cost too much to produce at that point so I understand, at least most of it is organic, which is better than most keto things I find!I also appreciate that its made without sugar alcohols!! That is soo difficult to find with keto treats.I don't find it to be overpriced either as it is such a large bag. I hope this company stays in business, and I think its absolutely worth trying it if you've never had it!

Low carb. Low Calorie. Protein. Calcium. Tastes good! Love cold cereal in the summer now I can have it guilt free!

So I am back on the low carb lifestyle, and I did back flips (in my mind) when I found out there was a low carb cereal! Yesss! (Granola, cereal, whatever, it was "get in my belly time.")Mind you, this is an $11.00 bag of cereal, but you just can't put a price on being able to fit into your pants again, can you?! So I went out and bought my $4 jug of UVA milk, (not good alone...no...just no...) and the SECOND the cereal arrived, ripped into it like the hulk.Soooo....you can imagine my surprise to find that this "granola" was not granola-like at all. It was in huge chunks. Like, huge. Welp, I decided this was not the end of the world. I was going to just break it up into smaller chunks, and throw it into my cereal bowl faster than you can say "Bob's your uncle."Upon breaking it up, I noticed it wasn't easily broken up...my food processor is broken, and do I really have time to grind this $11 bag of cereal up? No, shouldn't have to, don't wanna.Anyhoo, I got my cereal bowl ready with my milk in there, and couldn't wait to enjoy it.Upon first bite, I actually thought I might break a tooth. Nope, just shredded my gums a bit. So, it's not inedible, but also not what I'd call "yum." Well I waited a couple minutes to see if the milk would make it a bit softer, and that would be a big fat NO. This stuff could possibly have cement in it. Whatever it is, it's definitely not worth the money, and the company hasn't written me back about me possibly sending it back either. I don't think I've ever written a review on Amazon, but I felt compelled to on this one. Save your money, and don't break your teeth, shred your gums, or sell your soul for this low carb cereal. If I can save a set of gums, my work here is done.One can only dream that one day my LC cereal will make its appearance...until then, back to eggs I go.
