MixMyGranola

Have you heard of MixMyGranola? Raoul from the company contacted me and asked if I would like a sample.

I had never heard of MixMyGranola until then, but after taking a look at their fun website, I quickly figured out what their company was about.

Andreas, Matt, and Raoul founded MixMyGranola in 2008, after discussing what the perfect granola would be at breakfast. They all had different opinions on what it would be. They also had trouble finding their desired granola at the grocery stores.

They created the website where YOU customize your granola to make it perfect. What a great idea! I would have never thought of that.

How does it work?

First you choose a healthy granola base, then add delicious ingredients. The delicious ingredients include fruit, nuts, and extras. Then they mix your granola order and ship it anywhere in the U.S.

I must have spent an hour on their website, trying to decide on what to mix into my granola. Ohhh, decisions, decisions.

First I chose organic granola and then came the fruit... should I choose dried raspberries? Banana chips? Dried bing cherries? Goji berries?

I went with dried raspberries because I've never had a dried raspberry before.

Next came the nuts and seeds... Macadamia nuts? Hazelnuts? Hemp seeds? Oh geez, how can I choose?

Hazelnuts. Gotta have the hazelnuts because I can't buy them here and they're delicious.

The last step was picking your "extras" for the granola. This was the hardest step of all. The extras consisted of mini yogurt pretzels, gummy bears, chocolate covered espresso beans, peanut butter bites, tiramisu caramels, fruit loops, sesame sticks, and more.

If you read my blog regularly you must know about my coffee addiction. So of course I had to choose the chocolate covered espresso beans.

Before you place your order, you give your granola a name, and that name will be printed on the canister they ship you. I love that!

I put on my thinking cap for this one. I brainstormed. I made charts and graphs.
Raspberries. Hazelnuts. Chocolate covered espresso beans. Think, think, think.
And finally I came up with it.



My granola: Jazzy Razelnut Granola. That's about the lamest name you can give to granola, but yes, I did it. Come on! You like it and you know it. It's catchy.

My Jazzy Razelnut Granola was shipped to me promptly. I popped open the canister and took a peek. Wow, did it look good - the granola was loaded with the goodies I selected, and oh, the scent. It smelled amazing and I quickly poured myself a sample.



I couldn't believe how fresh it tasted... it was absolutely the best tasting granola I've ever had. The dried raspberries were sweet and delicious, the hazelnuts were toasted and smoky-tasting, and the chocolate covered espresso beans were amazing.

Best. Granola. Ever. And I'm not just saying that. Give it a try! I know I'm going back to their website for more. Think of what a great, unique gift this would be.

Thanks, Raoul! I loved it.
