The best granola doesn’t just stand on its own– it makes everything around it better. Whether you’re adding crunch to yogurt, layering a cheese board, or topping your go-to dessert, the fun begins when you start exploring. Here’s how some like to enjoy each flavor– with easy, un-fussy pairings that make sense, (plus a few that may surprise you).
The O.G.
Our ORIGINAL is a classic for a reason. It’s well balanced, sweet, and full of texture from dried fruit and toasty nuts. It pairs best with things that are light, crisp, earthy, or creamy– simple flavors let it shine.
Cheese and Fruit
Dress up your cheese board or spoon granola and honey over a berry goat cheese crostini.
Tomato Heirlooms
Granola plays well with savory. Try it on tomato salad with greens, goat cheese, and vinaigrette.
A Vegan Touch
THE VEE is our vegan take on the ORIGINAL– same crunch and cozy flavors, without animal products. It brings a nutty bite to anything soft, crisp, or earthy.
Avocado or Peanut Butter
Avocado, lime + agave *or* peanut butter + maple syrup… both love a granola crunch on top.
Strawberry and Spinach
This one’s simple: spinach, strawberries, onions, balsamic, and a sprinkle of granola.
Naked And Free
NAKED keeps it simple– just oats, coconut, and maple syrup, no fruit or nuts. It’s easy to pair with bolder flavors like a tart or dark chocolate, or baked right into something warm and sweet.
Yogurt Parfait
A spoonful of yogurt, a handful of fruit, and a sprinkle of granola go a long way.
Granola Crusted Chicken Use granola for a crisp chicken coating and serve with your go-to greens or grains.
The ABC’s
A coconut-free, vegan option made with almond, banana, and chocolate. A sweet little pick-me-up you can feel good about.
Chia Pudding
Make chia pudding with almond milk, top with berries and add a spoonful of ABC.
Chocolate Bark
Slice, spread, sprinkle, and freeze banana, PB, granola, and chocolate make the perfect snack.
We hope this sparked a few new ideas– and maybe a craving or two. With a little curiosity and a dash of play, you might pair something unexpected and LOVE IT. We’re all about finding those small, feel-good moments– and hope this helps you find a few more.
