Have you heard of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters? They are bite sized little snack made up of select roasted nuts, whole grain oats and honey to create a wonderful blend of wholesome goodness. All ingredients are 100% natural and make a perfect snack for any nut lover!
My Blog Spark sent me all four varieties of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters: Honey Roasted Peanut, Roasted Cashew, Nut Lovers and Roasted Almond. I’ve always been a huge fan of peanuts and cashews so it is no surprise that the first two were my favorites! Although I’ve purchased many Nature Valley products in the past, I’m glad I got this opportunity to try them because I might not have otherwise. I really didn’t expect to like them so much. I love combination of the crunchy granola, salty nuts and the added touch of honey. Perfect for a snack in the late afternoon when I realize I should have eaten more for lunch but don’t want to stuff myself before dinner! 
The only fault is you wouldn’t want to eat the whole bag which is made up of about 5 servings. With each serving having 140 calories and 7 grams of fat, it is probably a good idea to stick to the suggested serving size of 7 clusters. However, if you are going to spend the calories/fat, this is a great way to do it. With whole grain oats, 5 grams of protein and natural ingredients you needed feel guilty for eating empty calories!

On our deck behind our house – we have a lot of woods, so it is a very secluded private place to enjoy the sounds of nature.
My favorite is the beach. I love the relaxing feeling I get, while looking at the ocean. Thanks.
Walking on the beach at dawn or sunset. Awesome!! It helps that we live only 30 minutes from the ocean!
I love to connect with nature by sitting on the beach watching the seagulls and listening to the waves crash on the shore.
My favorite place to connect with nature is our local park! With the huge oak trees, it’s so comforting.
I love being in the woods!!
My absolute favorite place is no longer available to me. My grandparents used to own a cabin in the woods near Tahoe in California. It was my absolute favorite place to go to escape the craziness of life and the world and enjoy the beauties of nature. It was neslted amongst beautiful trees, mountains and a river rushing right in front. It was perfect. Unfortunatly, due to financial concerns, it was sold two summers back. I will always miss that place. Now we head to the beautiful Wasatch Mountains here in Utah when we need to connect with the natural beauty surrounding us here in Utah.

The nearest body of water. In my case –the Atlantic–1.5 miles away.
I connect with nature deep in the woods usually in the Adirondacks.
My favorite place to connect with nature is my home. It’s rural so deer, foxes and even the
occasional mountain lion share my back yard. Rabbits munch the vegetation. A snake shows up once in a while and quickly squiggles away. It’s a blessing to live in such a beautiful place.
Thank you for the contest.
My favorite nature place of all time is a YMCA Camp about an hour from me. I had a blast going there for a week every summer as a kid and also worked there for a whole summer after high school. I hope my boys will go also someday.

My favorite place to connect with nature is out in the desert, where it looks like there’s not another person on the face of the earth. Thanks for the contest!
A park near our home.
We like going out to the lighthouse in Montauk, NY.
My favorite place to connect with nature is less than 1 hour from my house! There is a camp-ground there, and my family and I am there nearly every weekend! We love to camp, hike, fish and swim! We are practically the “local campers” as we know everyone around there, and can tell newbies where to go!

I like to connect with nature on my runs. I take in everything around me when I run-the animals (deer and geese lately), the leaves turning, the smells (sometimes not so nice ones!) and the sun setting. Nature is definitely beautiful and amazing!

The park while my kiddos are playing.
It was “pre-baby” perched on the limb of a tree, now sedately sitting by the chimnea with autumn leaves swirling in the air and my son perched on my knee trying to catch them.

I go to a nearby park to connect with nature. The park is right by my house that I love to go to with my boyfriend and his daughter. They have alligators and turtles in the water. If we are really lucky then we can see the deer come get a drink of water at the pond.
My favorite place to connect with nature is my back yard. Since it’s rural deer, squirrels and
sometimes foxes visit. Hummingbirds flock to the feeder. Tall redwood trees stand sentry.
Plum trees provide treats for feral animals in spring. The oak tree in the front yard drops acorns for them in fall.
Thank you for the contest.
Behind the library there is a long waterfall. Very peaceful.
