occasional granola review: Nature Valley Protein Granola -- peanut butter

Yep, I finally opened it. (Oh, by the way, I'm back early.) I had yogurt and this granola the morning I left, so I debated waiting to review it until I had it a second time, but I just couldn't hold out. Not that I'm overly excited or anything, I just wanted to do this now.

I'd been wanting to try this since it came out earlier this year but I wasn't sure if it had actual peanuts in it--which is not an option for me. Eventually I checked out the ingredients list; it was a go. So it's basically the same peanut butter flavor as the bars, just not as crunchy. It's kind of hard to describe this granola on the spectrum of baked/roasted oat mixture. It's not super light and crispy, but it's not bordering on burnt, either. It's actually pretty good, even with fruit and yogurt added into the equation.

There's other new granolas out, too. Kellogg's has a bagged one but I'm not sure yet if it's an old product repackaged. Did they have a granola before (not counting the Special K one)? And those Kashi ones are a chocolate/coconut and chia/raisin option. I grabbed the latter; that'll be the next to try.
