Cutting Down on Sugar? You Can Still Enjoy Granola

Many granolas on the market are sweetened with a lot of sugar or honey. If you’re trying to cut down on sugar, or you’re living with diabetes, that can make granola feel off-limits.

I made Granola Light for exactly these customers: people who want the crunch without the honey or added sugar.

What’s in Granola Light?

Granola Light is made with oats, walnuts, almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, peanut butter, a sweetener, cinnamon and coconut oil. It has no honey and no added sugar, and a less sweet, balanced taste.

5 tips for enjoying granola while watching your sugar

  1. Keep the portion small. Around 2–3 tablespoons is a good amount.
  2. Add protein. Greek yogurt or milk helps you feel full for longer.
  3. Choose lower-sugar fruit. Berries and strawberries work well.
  4. Watch your toppings. Skip extra honey, syrup or sweetened yogurt.
  5. Make it part of a meal, rather than an extra snack on top of everything else.

A note for people with diabetes

Oats are a natural source of carbohydrates, so no granola is carb-free. Every person’s needs are different. Please check with your doctor or dietitian about what fits your plan and how much is right for you.
