Vanilla Almond
So, this one's a bit on the sweet side compared to the others, but trust me, it brings the flavor.

And here's the kicker: it's got 45% less sugar than some of their other stuff. Boom! Perfect for when you're trying to be healthy but still need your granola fix.
Maple Pecan
Maple syrup makes everything better, and this granola is proof. Maple Pecan is like a delicious mix of praline pecans, molasses, sea salt, cinnamon, and, of course, maple syrup. It's like having a stack of pancakes with pecans and syrup for breakfast – crunchy, sweet, and oh-so-satisfying. People love it for the variety of ingredients in each bag, but be warned: some batches might skimp on the pecans.
Cacao and Cashew Butter
Who can say no to chocolate? Bear Naked's Gluten-Free Cacao & Cashew Butter granola is like a chocolate lover's dream. It's got cashew butter, chocolate chunks, and pepitas for a rich, filling taste. And here's the secret – it's gluten-free! This one's a crowd-pleaser, with many folks dubbing it their fave Bear Naked granola. The chocolate chunks might get melty, but hey, that just makes it even better.
Triple Berry
No nuts here, but loads of delicious dried fruits for all you fruit enthusiasts. Triple Berry has 50% less sugar than the other Bear Naked granolas. It's a berry bonanza with freeze-dried blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, each bringing its unique flavor. The dried blueberries are sweet, while the strawberries and raspberries add a tangy twist. It's on the sweeter side, so it's a well-balanced treat. You can mix it with milk or yogurt for breakfast or slap it on a sandwich for some extra crunch.
Honey Almond
Drumroll, please! Taking the top spot is Bear Naked's Honey Almond granola. It's a trio of whole grain oats, honey, and almonds, and let me tell you, it's epic. It's lightly sweet, super crunchy, and incredibly filling. Plus, it packs a punch with eleven grams of protein per serving, making it a killer pre or post-workout snack. Honey and nuts are a match made in granola heaven, and this flavor combo is just right. Not too much honey, just enough to give it a delightful sweetness that pairs perfectly with the almonds. Many folks swear it's the best granola out there, so why not sprinkle it on everything you eat? Muffins, cookies, or straight-up – you've found your granola soulmate."
