People love the satisfying crunch of granola, but not the loose, messy texture that makes it hard to snack on the go—so Nature’s Garden Clusters solve this with a format that's easy to enjoy. Touted as a permissibly indulgent snack, these clustered granola chunks are formed from nuts, seeds, and oats for snacking straight out of the bag without needing to be paired with milk or yogurt.
These non-GMO, gluten-free, flavor-packed bites are available in varieties like Blueberry Muffin, French Vanilla and Peanut Crunch, which add to their appeal by providing a tasty, on-the-go alternative to traditional breakfasts, mid-day fuel, and late-night treats.
On this new Nature’s Garden by Cibo Vita snack, Aiden Mould, Senior Brand Manager at Cibo Vita, says. "Clusters are everything granola wishes it could be."
