Gregoire Homemade granola with yogurt: One of the breakfast items offered at the excellent takeaway restaurant Gregoire in Berkeley is yogurt (Fage, I believe) served with homemade granola. Buttery, sweet, crunchy, and chewy, the granola contains a mix of toasted oats, nuts, seeds, and dried berries. It's very well balanced and something I wish I could make at home but probably would never take the time to do, which is why I especially appreciate it when others do it right! 4.0/5.0

Annie's organic chocolate chip granola bars: These granola bars resemble rice crispie treats more than granola bars, with a sticky and somewhat gooey consistency and crispy rice. The bars are on the small size; suitable for a child's lunchbox, but not filling enough for an adult. Maybe I should have known from the bright purple packaging. 2.5/5.0

Trader Joe's rolled oats and peanut butter fiberful granola bars: Like most fiber bars, all semblance of healthfulness is masked in candy-bar coatings. This one has a chocolate base, drizzled chocolate, and a chewy peanut butter and oats foundation. Don't get me wrong: I'm not complaining. This candy bar that just so happens to have 9g of fiber is a filling snack to get you through your post-lunch hunger pang. 3.5/5.0

Trader Joe's sweet, savory, and tart trail mix granola bars: A tangy, nutty, chewy combo with ingredients such as cranberries, chocolate chips, and peanuts. I like that the nuts are chopped and incorporated into the snack, so the texture is chewy rather than crunchy. A good mid-day snack. 3.5/5.0

Kind Banana Nut Clusters: Found this granola on sale at my local grocery store and picked it up after having generally good experiences with their bars. This bag is a low fat and sugar product, and you definitely taste it. I'm one for lighter snacks, but this granola verges on flavorless. The banana flavor is very faint, and some handfuls have a strong cinnamon taste, which I don't tend to associate with banana nut. Additionally, the clusters are dense, making them overly crunchy. I think it could work on plain yogur... (read more) 2.0/5.0
