Dated seller observations, not live quotes. Prices can change; tax and delivery are extra. Match the exact package shown below.

Compare grams, then check your own package

A label serving is not a recommendation of how much to eat. Compare the same dry weight, not just cups or front-of-pack claims, and include anything you add to the bowl. Check the ingredient and allergen statement on the package you buy: recipes, sizes and shared-facility notices can change. Compare cost per ounce using the exact pack size; a multipack total is not the price of one bag. This shortlist does not establish suitability for an allergy or a medical diet.

An oat-based option with organic ingredients and seeds, rather than a protein-focused formula. Compare the 30 g serving with the same weight of other picks.

  • Per 30 g: 130 calories · 6 g added sugar
  • 2 g fiber · 3 g protein per 30 g
  • Oats, amaranth, quinoa, chia and coconut oil
The tradeoff

Contains coconut; the maker lists shared-facility handling of soy, milk, eggs, peanuts and other tree nuts. Six grams of added sugar per 30 g is not a sugar-free choice.

A five-grain mix for topping or a larger bowl. The package separates a 30 g snack portion from its 65 g bowl portion, which makes portion size especially important when comparing labels.

  • Per 30 g: 110 calories · 5 g added sugar
  • 2 g fiber · 2 g protein per 30 g
  • Oats, millet, buckwheat, amaranth and quinoa
The tradeoff

Contains coconut and may contain peanuts, tree nuts, soy and sesame. Honey means this is not a vegan pick; a 65 g bowl has more than twice the added sugar of the 30 g snack portion.

An oat-based granola with pumpkin and flax seeds and cinnamon. The manufacturer’s current gallery separates a 30 g snack from a 55 g bowl; the numbers here use the smaller column for comparison.

  • Per 30 g: 120 calories · 4 g added sugar
  • 2 g fiber · 3 g protein per 30 g
  • Organic oats, pumpkin seeds and flax seeds
The tradeoff

The gallery lists sunflower oil, while the page’s ingredient text lists soy oil and declares soy. Check your exact box rather than assuming one recipe; the gallery also names a facility using peanuts, tree nuts, wheat and soy. The 55 g bowl has 230 calories and 8 g added sugar.

Whole-grain oats, roasted peanuts and peanut butter make this a different ingredient choice from the seed-focused options. Bob’s labels this exact formula certified gluten free; that claim does not make it suitable for a peanut allergy.

  • Per 30 g: 140 calories · 5 g added sugar
  • 2 g fiber · 4 g protein per 30 g
  • Peanuts, almonds and coconut in the ingredient list
The tradeoff

Contains peanuts and tree nuts, with almonds and coconut explicitly listed. Its 30 g portion is 1/4 cup on the manufacturer page; cup measures vary across granolas, so compare grams. We have not tested flavor or texture.

This Nature’s Path formula adds dark chocolate and freeze-dried strawberries and raspberries to oat clusters. It is the chocolate-focused choice in this comparison, rather than an interchangeable version of a plain oat-and-seed mix.

  • Per 30 g: 130 calories · 6 g added sugar
  • 2 g fiber · 2 g protein per 30 g
  • Dark chocolate, strawberries, raspberries and coconut
The tradeoff

Contains soy; the maker names shared-facility use of milk, tree nuts, wheat and peanuts. A 30 g serving is only 1/4 cup. Organic labeling does not remove added sugar, and the fruit pictured on packaging is not a serving of fresh fruit included in the bag.
