Julian BakeryProGranola® Cereal | Chocolate | 10g Protein | Paleo | 2 Net Carbs | Gluten-Free | Grain-Free | 17 Servings

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.

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

Let me start off by saying that based off other reviews this may not be for everyone. Some of the cons that other reviewers expressed were that it was too crunchy, too expensive, too sweet and some just didn’t like the taste.I compare this to Honey Bunches of Oats, the clusters in that remind me of the clusters in this!Of course it does not match the price of mass produced cereals on the market, I’m not surprised. It’s about on par with other specialty Keto items in my opinion. It has 15 servings per bag and will last you two weeks if you eat one serving a day. To me it is well worth the price because if I were to have it as a snack every day that’s only $5 a week for something I enjoy eating!I eat this both plain and with unsweetened almond milk, I love it! The taste to me is very satisfying and I don’t find it too sweet like some complain. I’ll munch on it while I cook and I’ll add some almond milk to it for Breakfast or a snack. I actually add a pinch of Sugar Substitute to mine.I found that there are some bigger chunks at the top of the bag that I ended up breaking down when I wanted cereal, once I got to the lower part of the bag it was more broken up and ‘crumb’ like, none of this bothered me.One of the things that I find I like the most is that it’s high in fiber. I have always had a lot of trouble using the bathroom and sometimes it’s hard to get your fiber on Keto so I found incorporating this in my diet regularly really helped! While the other nutrients may be a bit lack luster for most on Keto, it’s low in fat and protein, it’s great to help settle cravings!If you find that you are craving cereal this may be worth a try!

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.
