Made with a variety of nutritious ingredients such as baked grains, nuts, seeds, and dried fruit, there are several reasons why granola is a nutritional powerhouse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For one, many of its ingredients are high in fiber, which helps with blood sugar control, aids digestion, and promotes a healthy gut (1<\/a>). Most granola is also high in iron, a mineral essential for transporting oxygen throughout the body (2<\/a>). Additionally, some are high in protein, which supplies energy and supports muscle, brain, and immune function (3<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like granola, muesli offers similar health benefits. The main difference between muesli and granola is that granola is baked, whereas muesli is raw. This makes muesli a versatile food, great served both hot and cold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are certain ingredients to be mindful of when shopping for granola and muesli, namely added sugars<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Added sugars are concentrated forms of sugar introduced to food during processing. Since they supply energy but offer little to no nutritional value, the American Heart Association recommends limiting your added sugar consumption to 6-9 teaspoons (25-36 grams) per day (4<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cane sugar, honey, brown rice syrup, and molasses are some of the most common types of added sugars found in granola and muesli, but keep in mind there are over 50 different names<\/a> that might show up on an ingredient list. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of using added sugars, some brands use whole foods such as raisins and other dried fruits to sweeten granola and muesli. Unlike added sugars, these tasty ingredients provide additional nutrients and fiber. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s a breakdown of how to shop for sugar-free granola and granola with no sugar added, plus 9 top-rated options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
