Made with the familiar taste of Chex cereal and flavorful fruits such as died cherries and blueberries, the granola mix gives gluten-free consumers a new breakfast option. The gluten-free version of Chex granola mix consists of [crunchy granola clusters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natures-garden-clusters), Chex cereal squares, nuts and dried fruit. The mixture is made without gluten, high-fructose corn syrup or any artificial flavors or colors. The Chex granola mix can be enjoyed with milk as a cereal substitute, with yogurt for a quick breakfast or even on its own as a hearty snack option. With the [rising popularity of both granola](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/go-raw-snacking-granola) and gluten-free food products, the new Chex mix is likely to appeal to both Coeliac and non-Coeliac consumers alike. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 2% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gluten-free Granola Mixes:** Opportunity for brands to create more gluten-free options in the granola market. - **Catering to Gluten-free Consumers:** Opportunity for food manufacturers to develop and market more gluten-free products. - **Rising Popularity of Granola:** Opportunity for companies to innovate and create unique granola products to meet consumer demand. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food Manufacturing:** Opportunity for food manufacturing companies to develop and produce gluten-free granola products. - **Cereal Industry:** Opportunity for cereal companies to expand their product lines with gluten-free options. - **Snack Industry:** Opportunity for snack companies to enhance their offerings by introducing gluten-free granola options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Grain Cereal Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheerios-granola.md) - [Versatile Gluten-Free Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lizis-caramelised-almonds-hazelnuts-pecans-granola.md) - [Flavored Gluten-Free Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glebe-farm.md) - [Free-From Muesli Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freee-muesli.md) - [Indulgent Free-From Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-live-a-little-granola.md) - [Gluten-Free Snack Crackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheezit-gluten-free.md) - [Spicy Cereal-Based Snack Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spicy-chex-mix.md) - [Nutty Lightly Sweetened Granolas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/loaded-fruit-nut-gluten-free-granola.md) - [Gluten-Free Brownie Mixes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gluten-free-double-chocolate-brownie.md)
