It is quite common for granola to be packaged in standing pouches, but Whirlybird is shaking up this idea with its newest ready-to-eat granola product.

Whirlybird On-the-Go pairs a convenient grab-and-go snack package with a collapsible spoon, so that the bag itself may be used as a bowl for eating. The all-natural, non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free [granola snacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-cookie-granola) are offered in Original, Vanilla and Chocolate flavors, which can either be eaten dry or with a splash of milk if desired. The two-ounce packages for the on-the-go consumer offers an alternative to the granola bar, as well as [single-serve packages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anytime-oat-crumbles) of other kinds of grab-and-go snacks, such as oatmeal, muesli or chia pudding cups.

Some of the ingredients that go into the making of Whirlybird's products include dried berries, seeds and simple sweeteners like maple syrup and cane sugar.
