Trader Joe’s Rants & Raves (mostly raves, a few rants)

NEW ITEM at Trader Joe’s (May 2024)

Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Made from a base of rolled oats and cane sugar, this otherwise simple Granola gets its punch and pizzaz from real Passion Fruit purée and bits of sweet-tart, freeze-dried raspberries. These sweet, tropical-tasting clusters will ignite a brand- new passion for breakfast and set your snacking spirits soaring.”

I tried this new granola yesterday for review and really liked it. Yes it does have a nice fruity taste from the real passion fruit purée. What really sets this off for me are the dried raspberries, which are a bit tart. The freeze dried raspberries are delicious and pack a serious punch of real fruit flavor.

Rather than just eating a bowl of granola, personally I mostly eat it as a crunchy topping on top of a breakfast bowl mix which is usually any assortment of kefir, chia seeds, yogurt, bananas and other fruit. This granola made a great crunchy topping for that. Of course the large granola clusters are good too for just snacking.

They have a fair amount of the dried raspberries in this. Of course I wish there were more as they are my favorite part. The dried raspberries are so yummy.

I would buy this again
