10 Best Granolas 2024 | UK Nutritionist Reviewed

This granola ticks all the boxes. Firstly, it has a much lower sugar content than other vegan options, and secondly, it's high in protein thanks to the tasty selection of nuts including almonds and coconut. 

It is also a gluten-free choice that has won prizes for its great taste. Although the pack might seem to cost a little more, it's larger than some other boxes, so you actually get quite a lot for your money. The granola is sure to be a real winner with everyone!

Alongside the usual oats, this cereal contains barley and quinoa to provide plenty of fibre and other healthy minerals such as manganese and phosphorus. It also contains no artificial colours, flavouring or preservatives. 

The cereal, although it doesn't advertise itself as such, has a very low sugar content. Normally, these healthier options are considerable more expensive that other sweet choices, but this cereal bucks that trend and comes out as one of the cheaper healthy options. 

This 'no added sugar' granola doesn't even use syrups to give it a sweetness. Instead, Kellogg's have created a granola which gets its sweetness purely from fruits, including date paste and banana puree. It combines these with oats and nuts to make a delicious and wholesome start to your day. 

This gorgeous granola will also appeal to those who prefer their cereal without dried fruit, which in turn helps to keep the sugar down, and gives the opportunity to top with your own fresh fruit. 

Granola is not necessarily known for its gut-helping abilities, but this product is here to change that. Containing a prebiotic, it helps to promote healthy bacteria which has a huge range of positive effects on the body. If you can tolerate oats but not gluten, it's suitable too. 

The addition of beetroot is not only a clever way of sneaking vegetables into breakfast, but it also turns the milk pink, which younger eaters will definitely enjoy. It has no added sugars either, and is available in single packs or larger bulk buys. 

This granola is free from nuts and fruit and contains only sunflower seeds as an additional ingredient to the oat clusters you would expect to find in a granola. The simplicity of this granola means it will appeal to even the fussiest of eaters. 

Dorset cereals have made a conscious effort to reduce the amount of sugar in their breakfast offerings, and it also forgoes honey for golden syrup so it's vegan-friendly, too. Although it doesn't contain nuts, be aware that this granola does contain seeds and may contain traces of other nuts. 

Chocolate for breakfast! This granola definitely mixes up the status quo. The chocolate flavour comes in part from the added chocolate protein powder which is what makes this cereal so high in the stuff. The large amount of protein will keep you fuelled throughout the morning and would be particularly good after a workout. 

Unfortunately, you don't get to eat chocolate for breakfast without it being a little unhealthy and this cereal is no different. The sugar content is higher than other options, so although it may taste good and contain a lot of protein, it's probably not one to eat every day. 

If you can't eat wheat, there's no reason you should have to miss out on an easy breakfast like granola. Nature's Path have created a granola without gluten so those who normally can't eat it can dig in unharmed. 

Although suitable for those who can't eat gluten, it contains milk products so is not an option for vegans avoiding gluten. Grab this great value multipack of 8, or try out an individual box from your favourite supermarket's online option. 

This granola is simple in its flavours and ingredients, meaning it will appeal to a wide range of tastes, even kids. The raisins add texture and work well when paired with the whole and sliced almonds. 

This granola is made from British oats and ingredients are limited so you know exactly what you're eating. As with quite a lot of the cheaper granolas, though, the sugar levels are very high, and the addition of 1% honey means it's unfortunately not suitable for vegans. 

Asda's own-brand granola is very cheap and comes in a huge 1 kilogram bag, so even though it is not sold as a multipack, you get lots of granola in one go. The tropical flavours, including papaya, banana, pineapple and coconut, will bring some joy to your breakfast bowl. 

However, the large quantity of tropical fruits does lead to a higher sugar content. These dried fruits also contain lots of artificial preservatives which are not ideal if you would prefer a more natural start to your day. 

This granola is undoubtably on the unhealthier end of the cereal spectrum, but if you fancy a treat every so often, this could be just the thing. Eleven percent of this granola is made up of chocolate chunks, and when you combine that with hazelnuts, you get a very tasty combination. 

Unsurprisingly, though packed with wholegrain goodness, this granola doesn't fare well on the sugar front when compared to other options, and it is not gluten free or suitable for vegans as the chocolate contains milk.
