I love carbs, yes I do, I love carbs that is true!
(If you follow me on instagram, you probably already know this)
My love for carbs in specific, focuses on complex carbohydrates. They help fuel my body and satisfy that crunch craving I always seem to be having....
This is why I LOVE granolas that have an oat base and a minimal ingredient list. Enter one of my new found favorite contenders: Glutenfreeda Granola! All of their granolas are made from certified gluten free oats, are a great source of fiber and are fortified with flax seeds, which are known to be high in Omega-3 fatty acids! Each box has four travel size packs, which make it the perfect snack to throw in your bag for when
you're on the go! I chose to review Apple Almond Honey, but it also comes in two other flavor options: Cranberry Cashew Honey & Raisin Almond. I couldn't wait to get my crunch on thanks to Heidi at Glutenfreeda but I wouldn't be Amber if there wasn't a debacle of some sort while trying to open the package...
Naturally, I was too lazy to use a scissor, so I used my teeth and hands to tear open the travel sized package. Well, I opened the bag and the granola took flight all over my kitchen counter, my lap, and the floor. And you bet, there I was, eating it off all of those surfaces, because it would have been an OATCRY to waste such deliciousness!

Simple & Sweet, with a short ingredient list:
Honey taste through out, mainly single pieces of oats, almonds, and bits of apple, with a few defiant clusters, held together with the sweetness of honey.
I was originally expecting whole sized almonds from the title but the almonds were in small slivers, which I liked a lot better! Each bite was the perfect medley of honey and apple flavor, neither one over powered the other. All bits in this granola were of equal size, which I LOVE, I hate when there's too many "things" and shapes in my granola, I think it takes away from the taste.
- gluten-free oats, almonds, brown sugar, canola oil, apples, honey, flax seeds, vanilla, cinnamon
