We just tried Enjoy Life's new and improved granolas, and they were a big hit. As you probably already know, Enjoy Life's products are free of the top eight allergens, and are also free of casein, potato, sesame, and sulfates. Their products are made in a dedicated nut- and gluten-free facility, and they test their ingredients to make sure they are allergen-free.
Most importantly, their foods are good. We tried the Cinnamon Crunch, Cranapple Crunch, and Very Berry Crunch granolas. Although we liked them all, we ranked them for fun.
Kids:
1. Very Berry
2. Cinnamon Crunch
3. Cranapple
Adults:
1. Cranapple
2. Cinnamon Crunch/Very Berry--One vote each for second place.
The Cinnamon Crunch is a more "traditional" granola, while the other two have great, fresh fruit flavors. We are not a nut- or gluten-free family, and we enjoyed the granolas just as much as our gluten- and nut-ful granolas. I was alone in thinking they might need a touch more salt, but we all know of my salt addiction. And of my raisin dislike. (Sorry, Cinnamon Crunch.)
There is a downloadable coupon on Enjoy Life's homepage, and Want Not has some info on good Enjoy Life prices at Amazon going on through the end of May if you're interested in stocking up on some of their other products.
