HighKey Sugar Free Granola Cereal - 11oz Keto Breakfast Muesli, Low Carb Snacks, Grain & Gluten Free Foods, Healthy Snack Nuts Clusters, Paleo, Ketogenic & Diabetic Friendly Foods - Cinnamon Almond

Wow, this is definitely the little company that could! They are growing their keto line up, and keep scoring wins for me. A lot of places are just jumping on the keto bandwagon, but these folks are nailing it, in terms of TASTE, not to mention the macros. And, after all, for me, if food tastes awful, it's tough to stick to it, right? So far, keto has been pretty easy, given that I like or even love a lot of the keto friendly foods, but I start to miss carb stuff, and granola is a good example of a versatile, delicious food that is suddenly off limits. Well, along comes HighKey, to save the day! This stuff is flat out deeeelicious. Just out of the bag is crazy good. But I even pour my serving in a bowl, add some half n half with minimal carbs, a splash of real vanilla extract and a sprinkle of monk fruit sugar if I'm so inclined, and it's a bit of breakfast paradise. The texture is great, a terrific mix of ingredients, the bit of cinnamon and spicing is spot on, and, wow, I have added another ready-made keto grab 'n go to my busy schedule. Expensive? You bet. Thirteen bucks for a bag of granola is insane, frankly, lol, but, the new keto market is just not a cheap place, likely because they can't rely on the bargain basement carb-infused cheap stuff, like corn and wheat. So, it's just part of keto, and I pick and choose what pricey items I will a have in a month, next to other, far cheaper keto options. Besides, with the intermittent fasting, I just don't eat as much as I ever did, so, strangely, on keto, my overall food spending is FAR less, even with pricier items. This is definitely one worth paying for, in my view. I now have something for hikes, and even for the odd craving for a snack that won't ruin ketosis. So, this one really works for me! Highly recommend!!!

While I did receive this product free of charge through a Facebook ad promotion, my review is not paid. I was a little skeptical at first seeing as how I had never heard of the company before, I did do my fair amount of research before the bag came in the mail (1 day Prime shipping is AMAZING!) There were quite a few reviews stating that the granola had a bad after taste or an artificial sweetener-esque flavor, which concerned me a little as I absolutely HATE artificial sweeteners due to these exact reasons. Anyhow, after receiving the granola in the mail, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that this was not the case with my own tastebuds. The mixture of nuts, seeds, and the delicious cinnamon-sugary flavor completely tricked my brain into thinking I was eating something "not so good" for me when actuality, it was the opposite! I have a terrible sweet tooth and with this granola, I can sit down with a glass of water, snack on the tiny pieces (some clumps can be sizable[think American Quarter-sized]) and feel like I had a substantial snack when I'm done. While I do think the bags could be bigger and give you more "bang for your buck", this is after all a keto-friendly snack, and as we all know it's the rage of dieting currently. With the hype, comes the price! I wouldn't normally splurge on such a snack, but I may be changing the way I think about that after trying this granola! (I'll be submitting a photo of the package when I get home from the office for further proof.)

OK. I read all these amazing reviews and thought to myself, "It can't live up to the hype." Oh, yes. It did. It so so did. The flavor is rich and sweet and the texture is perfect. My main hold out was whether or not 1/4 cup was going to be a satisfying enough serving size but it is. It fits perfectly into my day and kept me as satisfied as my protein cookie normally would (without all the unnatural crap that they pack those full of). I'm a believer. I love this stuff. Now to try the maple flavor! If you've tried the Munk Pack Keto Granola bars and enjoyed those, these are going to be right up your alley.

I usually do not order breakfast products on line; however, with the Covid-19 virus crisis I decided to send for some products on Amazon. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a shortage of some of the more popular brands I usually eat for breakfast. I decided to order this product (High Key Granola: Cinnamon almond, paleo friendly, Ketogenic breakfast nut foods, low sugar, grain & gluten free: made with pumpkin, flax, sunflower and chia seeds 11 0Z, sold by Low Carb Solutions $12.97) from Amazon. I was happy about the quick service and I ate some this morning for breakfast with some milk and a sliced banana. I found it to be very crunchy with a unique taste but I felt this product was a little expensive at more than a $1.00 an ounce and would not order it again in the future. On the positive side, the fact this is a low carb product makes it appealing for those with blood sugar issues and those trying to lose weight. Rating: 4 Stars. Joseph J.

This was an impulse click through an Instagram ad and I don’t regret this free sample! This stuff is seriously good. I’m not a a keto diet, just conscious about my carb intake since I couldn’t live without carbs. I’m a big snacker and of course while snacking on regular brand brand name granola isn’t as bad as snacking on cookies, the carb amount and ingredients can totally slip your mind if you’re not paying close attention. High key has strong ingredient game. I have a sweet tooth at night, but this granola contains just the right amount of crunch and chew to keep my mouth busy for a low cost without feeling guilty for snacking. This definitely curbs my cravings and I’m dying to try the other flavors!

I love many HighKey products, but I wasn’t sure how they would be able to pull off a great keto granola. I still don’t know how they did it, but they definitely did! I bought both flavors and can’t decide which I like better. For me (and I still have a sweet tooth, albeit less of one after 11 months of following the keto way of eating), this is too sweet to eat by itself. But since I eat it with unsweetened almond or macadamia milk, it ends up being just about right. It’s a small serving (1/4 cup), but still filling. A welcome addition to my breakfast menu!

This is good and if you are eating keto you know that there are small sacrifices you make in flavor to stay in the Keto world. While I will eat all of this, someone needs to let the manufacturer know that the Stevia or Monk Fruit extract needs to be reduced by at least half. The sweetness is too much and unfamiliar to a granola product. The sweetness level is at about a brown sugar apple pie crumble topping level but with that artificial aftertaste that hits hard because there is so much of it. Buy it and try it and you won't be sad you bought it but I bet you'll agree with me on the sweetness being too strong. It's pretty good but Highkey needs to remember this is granola not a sugary desert topping. As I write this I'm realizing that, while I intended to eat this plain when I bought it, I am actually gonna put in on some keto ice cream for texture and to blend the sweetness into something like ice cream that should be as sweet as this granola.

HighKey products in general have some of the best recipes for low carb snacks. I went into this under the assumption that I'd love it, because everything else I've tried from them has been great. I have no complaints aside from the price. This wouldn't be something I'd get often purely due to that reason because while yeah, they taste amazing, it's a simple fact that I could just buy 2-3 bags from a different brand at Sendik's or Whole Foods and get way more for my money. In other words, I recommend just buying one bag of this yo treat yourself to the experience. Probably not worth doing a subscription order.
