Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters {Review & Giveaway}

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!
