As the daunting snow-covered peak stared down at me, I felt nauseous and weak. This reverse vertigo came from the mountain sickness one feels after gaining altitude too quickly. Maybe going from the beach to 18,000 feet in the span of a day wasn’t the smartest idea. I reached a gloved hand into my backpack to grab a snack bag full of the one thing that could get my head straight: Peanut Butter ProGranola. After munching on some of those blessed clusters, I carried on.
ProGranola is the ultimate snack: a nutritious slam dunk that also happens to be practical and versatile. Its base ingredients—tapioca fiber, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, natural monk fruit, and protein powder—make it rich in fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats. Plus, the product is simple and natural. ProGranola is a unique offering in the food industry, bridging the gap between regular granola (often high in calories, sugar, and low in protein) and protein cereals (which are frequently sugary and laden with artificial ingredients). ProGranola can be enjoyed on its own, but it also shines as a topping for a parfait with Greek yogurt, a breakfast in a bowl of milk, or a crunchy addition to chia pudding.
ProGranola comes in five flavors: Peanut Butter, Vanilla Cinnamon, Chocolate, Espresso, and Vegan Vanilla. The first four flavors are made with egg-white protein, while Vegan Vanilla uses pea protein. They’re all delicious, but my personal favorite for snacking is Peanut Butter. The peanuts soften the overall texture slightly, creating a varied and satisfying bite. Its flavor is rich without being overwhelming. Whenever I open a bag, I have to portion out a serving and put the rest away—it’s that easy to get carried away, especially because ProGranola is so gentle on the stomach.
Vanilla Cinnamon is perhaps the best option for eating as cereal. As you finish a bowl of Vanilla Cinnamon ProGranola with milk, you’ll notice a sweet cinnamon residue left in the milk. Drinking this leftover milk is delicious and brings back nostalgic memories of sugary childhood breakfasts.
Vegan Vanilla is the most versatile flavor in the lineup because its subtle taste doesn’t overpower rich chia puddings or yogurt with fruit. The same versatility applies to Chocolate, though it’s better suited for moments when you’re craving its distinct flavor profile. Espresso is a fabulous choice for the morning, as its caffeine content provides an authentic energy boost.
In short, any of these options is a good choice. Julian Bakery’s flagship product is not only delicious but also nutritious and natural. ProGranola makes meeting your dietary goals both easy and enjoyable!
