Finding tasty snacks that make us feel energized and healthy can most definitely feel like a feat, that's why this week we're thrilled to share NOLA Granola! Gluten-free, protein-packed, granola nut clusters made of 100% real food. A natural snack that can be enjoyed anytime, anywhere.
The Story of NOLA Granola
"While many believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it also happens to be my favourite! I’ve always had a passion for leading a healthy lifestyle and I’m continuously on the search for quality all-natural foods for my family and I to enjoy.
For years, I found myself looking for a high-protein granola with zero sugar that did not contain any ingredients I couldn’t pronounce! After being disappointed with what store shelves had to offer, I set out to create my own recipes. Many trials later, Nola (what my youngest son has always called my gra’nola') was born.
At Nola Baking Co., our mission is to offer high-quality products made with 100% real food to promote a healthy and natural lifestyle. We bake our granola in small batches with all-natural ingredients and no added sugar. Our unique gluten-free blends of nuts, seeds and dried fruits come together in a crunchy, protein-filled granola that will power your day as nature intended.
As a runner and mother of 3 active little ones, I fuel up on Nola first thing in the morning, in between workouts, and when I'm on the run. No matter what your day has in store, we hope you enjoy our crunchy granola nut clusters as you embark with us on the path to natural goodness!"

What is inside these healthy nut clusters?
Natural ingredients of course! Each handful has just the right amount of protein, fibre, healthy fats and natural sugars to keep you energized (and your taste buds satisfied) for your busy lifestyle. Here's what's in the bag...
Gluten-Free Oats
These oats are a great source of vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants.
Quinoa
This grain is super nutritious! It's gluten-free, high in protein and one of the few plant foods that contain all nine essential amino acids.
Nuts and Seeds
These little guys pack a powerful punch of vitamins, minerals and fats. They're good for your heart, and help maintain every cell in the body!
Natural Sweeteners
Honey is rich in antioxidants and maple syrup has anti-bacterial and anti-diabetic properties. They both also add the perfect drizzle of sweetness!
Himalayan Pink Salt
Despite what you may hear, the right amount of the right salt is actually a good thing! This salt contains over 84 minerals and trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper and iron.
Flax
This small seed offers big rewards! It's loaded with nutrients, is high in omega-3 fats and protein, can improve cholesterol and lower blood pressure too!
Coconut
This fibrous wonder is the yummiest miracle food around! It's a natural source of quick energy, is highly nutritious, and it's packed with essential vitamins and minerals.
Vanilla
It turns out that loving vanilla is great for your heart! Vanilla can reduce cholesterol levels, which also helps to prevent inflammation and blood clots.
Dried Fruit
Cranberries, raisins, and currants are high in fibre, and add just the right touch of natural sweetness.
Cinnamon
This delicious spice sprinkles on a LOT more than flavour! It has powerful medicinal properties, and it's loaded with anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory goodness.
