Keto Granola Cereal: The Best Store-Bought Taste Test

Which Keto Store Bought Granola Is The Best?

I LOVE keto! it has changed my life. I finally found what works with my body. and that is, the less carbs, the better my body functions.

But, there are some carbs that I really miss! namely Cereal in the morning!

I have eaten eggs most mornings since I was 14. . . that is almost 20 years of eggs!

And then there are the times when I am just done with eggs for a while, then i slip into total indulgent mode and eat the yummiest cereal. . . until my body starts reacting sluggishly, and starts gaining weight again. *sigh* then it’s back to eggs.

I am in that slump right now. So I decided to look up online ‘keto cereal’. There were some really expensive ‘cereal’. Which I might try later, but there were also quite a few ‘keto granolas’ online that were good enough for me.

So I bought them all!!!!!

Well, I bought one of each brand I could, at least.

Most of the flavors are cinnamon, but I did try a few other flavors just for variety. Just be aware that some of these brands will offer other flavors as well.

So my very expensive purchase of keto store bought granola, is your gain for free!

I will share with you in order of my favorites, which brands I tried, how many carbs they each have, and which ones are worth buying.

What milk to use with keto cereal

First, let me share how I eat keto cereal.

Some people just buy unsweetened almond/coconut/cashew milk because of the low carb/low sugar count. But I found a tastier way!

I think most people would think it’s disgusting to water down cream, but bear with me. It is actually delicious!

I take about 1 Tablespoon of Heavy Whipping Cream, and water it down with about 1/2-2/3 cup of water. So you can get the creaminess of the whole milk taste, without the actual sugar in milk.

I dare you to try it!

Now on to the keto Store Bought Granola.

I tried 9 different keto/low carb granolas. Here is what I think of them.

as of writing this, on average, each of the cereals cost roughly $13 each. I am hoping that as keto becomes more and more popular, that we will see these products become cheaper.

Each picture has a quick link attached to buy it, so when you find the one that sounds good to you, go ahead and click the picture!

1. Farm Girl – Nut based Cereal – KetoCrunch Salted Caramel.

This one is my absolute favorite! It is Granola-like, crunchy, and the caramel is tasty, but not overbearing. This is the one i’ll be re-buying!

Sad day, but I cannot find the link to Farm Girl’s Caramel Cereal! But all you have to do is click on her chocolate cereal, and then it should pull up her other products as well. My guess is the chocolate one is just as good too. I’ll have to try it.

2 grams net carbs per serving – 1/3 cup.

10 servings per container.

Sweetened with erythitol and stevia.

2. FLA low-carb nut and granola & trail mix with chocolate chips.

This is my second favorite!

Maybe because it wasn’t expected to be a cereal. It has a salty taste to it, but then the sweet chocolate chip taste comes through, and I really like it.

For cereal, it might be odd. But for trail mix, the pieces are too small to really grab as well. So I don’t quite know where to place FLA Granola. But the taste is great!

2 Grams of net carbs per serving – 1 OZ.

11 servings per container.

sweetened with stevia and erythitol

3. Highkey Granola – Cinnamon Almond

Highkey is really good if you really like cinnamon!

You get hit with the cinnamon taste first, then slowly the granola taste comes in. It was much closer to a treat than most of the other granolas. I would buy it again.

2 G. net carbs per serving 1/4 Cup.

10 servings per container.

sweetened with erythitol, monk fruit and stevia.

Has chia seeds, which i love! (seriously though, I lost weight just by adding chia seeds!)

4. King Keto – Keto Nut Granola

This one is the best tasting Granola one of the bunch. What I mean by that is that it genuinely tastes like granola. and it has just a hint of cinnamon, which I love, and it has big pieces of pecan nuts, so it can get a good nutty taste to it to. I would buy King Keto again, plus they have a few other flavors that I will be willing to try out.

Bonus, as of trying these cereals out, King Keto is currently the cheapest! so that is a win!

3 Grams of net carbs per serving – 1/3 Cup.

10 servings per container.

Sweetened with erythitol and monk fruit.

5. Livlo – Cinnamon Almond Pecan Keto Nut Granola

Livlo Cinnamon Granola did not disappoint in the cinnamon category. It is the only one that you get almost a cinnamon-sugar taste. Very sweet, and no after-taste. Almost a cinnamon toast crunch taste to it, if you know what I mean.

2 Grams net Carbs per serving – 1/3 Cup.

9 servings per container.

Sweetened with erythitol and monk fruit.

6. and 7. Low Karb KETO Nut Granola BRAND

Ok, so most of the granola I bought are different brands. But I did buy 2 kinds of this Keto Brand. Blueberry and Cacao.

And i’m sad to say i’m a little disappointed. It tastes like granola, so that is good. But with both the chocolate and the blueberry, I could only tell it was that taste IF i really concentrated. It’s not that it tasted bad, but you might as well stick to the original which is meant to taste just like granola.

They also have a popular vanilla raspberry that for some reason I didn’t try. But it looks AMAZING! You should try it and let me know if it is as amazing as it looks!

So in the end, I put it right in the middle of my taste test. I could buy it again, but why when there are other ones I like better.

Carbs 3G. Net carbs per serving – 1/3 cup.

9 servings per container.

sweetens with erythitol and monk fruit. so there is no weird after taste.

8. Snaxly Keto – Nut Granola

I liked snaxly as well. It had more clumps, which I kinda like. It does have a different taste to it, that slowly makes you wonder if you don’t actually like it in the end. . . yep, the after-taste keeps getting weirder. It’s not a sweetener problem, it is something else. I won’t be buying this one again. But if you are curious about the taste of Snaxly, by all means, click on it, and try it out! (plus they do have a chocolate one).

2 G. Net Carbs, per serving – 1/3 Cup.

9 servings per container.

Sweetened with erythitol and monk fruit.

9. Diabetic Kitchen Cinnamon Pecan Granola Cereal

Ok, so my first reaction is that I REALLY like this granola! It has the biggest sweet cinnamon taste from the moment it enters your mouth. it made go “mmm”.

The problem with Diabetic Kitchen, and why it is low on my list, is that slowly you begin to realize it might be too sweet. The stevia after-taste stays with you for quite a while.

The other reason it is low on my list, is because it has puffed brown rice, so not strictly keto. But it still has a great low carb count!

So if stevia doesn’t bother you, and you are just looking for low carb, you should definitely give this one a try!

3 Grams net carbs per serving – 1/3 cup.

10 servings per container.

Sweetened with stevia extract and monk fruit.

Note: it does have puffed brown rice. so not strict keto.

Wild Card. Granola Bakery.

I could have sworn that I bought one of these to try, but I didn’t! They look REALLY GOOD THOUGH! So if you try them, let me know how Granola Bakery taste!

Bonus- Catalina Crunch. Dark Chocolate Keto friendly cereal

This is not keto granola, but it is a cereal that I found at the store, and I tried it out.

It was really hard, the chocolate definitely tasted ‘healthy’. So not my favorite. But as diet food, it was acceptable. And the after taste was hard to get over.

I didn’t find this online, but you can find it at some high-end/healthy grocery stores. Which is nice when you want cereal and don’t want to wait for it to be delivered to you.

5 grams per serving – 3/8 cup.

10 servings per container.

Sweetened with Monk Fruit.

It also has pea protein, potato fiber, corn fiber. . . so be aware of that.
