Rupal says
January 27, 2009 at 2:58 amOk, I’m TOTALLY bummed that this is a US only give-away (not that I am surprised) but, this is totally a product I could get in to. Will have to look out for it here, or get mom’s to ship me some from the states. Protein! Flax! Lots of excitement in this breakfast choice!
David at Animal-Kingdom-Workouts says
January 27, 2009 at 3:04 amI’d love to try some Granola, but as a Canadian, I guess I’m out too. Still, for breakfast I usually keep it pretty simple anyway. An apple or some other kind of fruit is what I usually have. I’m looking forward to more reviews and I’ll keep an eye out for this cereal in the stores!
– Dave
Diana says
January 27, 2009 at 3:12 amWould love to try. Maybe I’ll check it out. I didn’t find a price for it…at least I hope not. Is it @ 7? Ouch. I think the bulk price will be the way to go.
Oh, you would shudder at my terrible breakfast habbits of late. I’m trying to transition to cereal (with higher fiber and protein) or scrambled eggs with toast (yes, the good for you kind) though.
Rosie says
January 27, 2009 at 3:46 amMy current breakfast is plan ol’ oatmeal with milk and splenda. I would like to try Zoey’s Granola because I think I need a little spice in my life and it’s time to change my breakfast up a bit.
Mark says
January 27, 2009 at 4:12 amNom, nom! Hope your day is awesome! π
karen says
January 27, 2009 at 4:33 amI would love to try the granola and I surfed their site too.
I love the smaller companies.
RIght now my breakfast is coffee (pick me!!)
karen says
January 27, 2009 at 4:35 amI also saw they are coming soon to Amazon.com!
FLG says
January 27, 2009 at 4:45 amDang, that sounds like some nicee stuff. Perhaps I could move to the U.S.A. for a week, enter, win, and then come back to NZ?
Erica says
January 27, 2009 at 4:56 amLOVE granola. I make a homemade batch every where and Josh and I mix it in with cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt. I do this usually because….as you noted…cereal is expensive! However, that being said, I would love to try that. I especially like that you noted that it was chewy- a nice change!
My usual breakfast…an apple with peanut butter and then half way through the morning another piece o fruit or some unsweetened applesauce. Be jealous π
Donna B says
January 27, 2009 at 5:09 amLooks like a great product. I love to try new items, and if they are a PLUS I add them into my eating regime to make it more interesting. Looking for something to help out my Cheerios and milk breakfast!
Alison says
January 27, 2009 at 5:17 amI am skipping breakfast lately because Im always rushing to school—-so I would love to try the cereal.
Your video also made me curious about your bandanna in the picture. Do you ever wear them?
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 5:24 amHey early morning peeps!
I do highly recommend moving to the USA just for this giveaway.
if it’s not too much effort.
and Ill check into the amazon thing as well (when it will be available there) as I saw there’s a coupon there, too!
and Alison? why did that make me giggle? I do wear my bandannas all the time.
And different ones depending on what Im doing from workout out to fitness writing to fiction writing.
different patterns.
TMI?
CLICK HERE. (from back in the DAY at the *beginning* of MizFit)
Evan says
January 27, 2009 at 5:48 amMiz in a bandanna!
I hadn’t seen that video from back in the day and is it so back in the day it is blurry?
Or is it my eyes and I need granola to help me see better?
Gemfit says
January 27, 2009 at 5:52 amAs a Canadian, I’m out for the winning of the granola. Boo.
But my brekkie is a little bit of how early is it/what can I stomach. If it’s breakfast at home it’s been an hardboiled egg with wholegrain toast and a yoghurt. If it’s at work b/c I’m super early in the office, it’s oatmeal with protein powder.
But I get tired of routine so I change it up. Granola would have been yummy but alas.
Missicat says
January 27, 2009 at 6:00 amYum! Just checked out their site. Would love to try – had Joe’s O’s (Trader Joe’s version of Cheerioes) this a.m. with skim milk and coffee. I need variety!! Pick me!
Mara says
January 27, 2009 at 6:09 amMy current breakfast trend is simple: an egg on a high-fiber english muffin with fat free cheese, coffee (usually a latte) and then a bar of some sort as a snack.
I have seen Zoe foods at random stores here and there, and I’m glad to know the products are good, as they are a bit spendy!
Kim says
January 27, 2009 at 6:16 amYou’re right Miz and you are more a bandanna woman than a hat wearer.
I want to know if you eat just that granola or, were I to win, if I should add more protein.
When I eat only cereal in the morning I am hungry an hour later.
Kim
Annette says
January 27, 2009 at 6:24 amI’d love to win some cereal! It sounds great with the extra protein and omega-3s!!! My current breakfast is either oatmeal with pb and flax, eggs with veggies, or yogurt or cottage cheese with fruit and nuts.
This would be a quick go-to breakfast. I could even bag it up for kiddo snacks π
Love the hat on you!
Alex says
January 27, 2009 at 6:26 amI’m so glad you testdrove this and gave it your seal!
I have seen it a bunch and always cheaped out.
Right now I’m eating oatmeal for breakfast and would bring my 2 boxes to the office for snacks.
kikimonster says
January 27, 2009 at 6:30 amMiz! It’s been forever! I’m so busy at work that I hardly have time to blog, but I have been getting to the gym regularly. Yay me!
Linda says
January 27, 2009 at 6:32 amI think I’d use this as a snack instead of Brekkie. I currently still eat PB in my oatmeal most of the time. ‘Twould make a great munchie later in my day.
Psst! Is that a pink boot and your counter? And what is that bright light coming in the window?
dragonmamma/naomi w. says
January 27, 2009 at 6:34 amI don’t know if they all carry the same stuff, but my local Grocery Outlet has Zoe’s granola on sale for 99-cents a box. (Because it expires within a month, I guess they want to hurry up and get rid of it.)
I wasn’t crazy about it. Unlike you, I like crunchy granola, and it was too chewy for me; so leave me out of the drawing.
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 6:37 amOnce upon a time MizFit was spending money she didn’t have at her fave store, Lucky.
As she whipped out the *cashnotcredit* she spied the cutes cowboy boot pencil holder.
‘I LOVE THAT,’ she shrieked.
‘This?’ The salesdude replied in his salesdudemonotone.
‘It’s just one of a pair of tiny boots I bought to hold our pencils.’
And.

Andrea (Off Her Cork) says
January 27, 2009 at 6:40 amOooo granola! My breakfast is either oats with random mix-ins or it’s 2% fage with granola. π Gotta have my oats everyday!
Natalia Burleson says
January 27, 2009 at 6:41 amI am a big fan of granola. Right now I eat yogurt with choc protein powder and frozen cherries with flax seed. It would be nice to sprinkle some granola on there! I have a hard time getting protein into my son, so a cereal that has protein for him is a BIG plus!!! π
seekatyrun says
January 27, 2009 at 6:42 amI would love to try this, more likely as an on-the-run snack than breakfast. If I’ve had an early morning workout, breakfast is usually a turkey sausage patty with a slice of cheese on a whole grain english muffin. If I haven’t worked out yet, it is usually PB on whole wheat toast, then more protein after the workout.
Xenia says
January 27, 2009 at 6:48 amMy breakfast consists of a small banana and a bowl of high fiber cereal (right now it’s bran flakes) with skim milk.
I would love to win the Zoe Granola for my sister because her name is Zoe and she actually lives in the states as opposed to me. π Also, she and I are both trying to eat healthier and I think she’d really like this product.
joy (mappchik) says
January 27, 2009 at 6:51 amI want to try the cranberries currant!
You said the magic word – CHEWY. I love my granola to be slightly chewy. (I don’t think it’s an age thing, at least I hope not.) A mix of crunchy & chewy is more like homemade. Not that I’ve been successful making granola at home, but I love it when a friend makes too much, and has to pass some off to me.
I’ve seen Zoe’s in WF, but haven’t purchased. Mostly because of the price. Now that I know what’s in it, and hear it’s yummy, I think it’s going on the next shopping list.
Di says
January 27, 2009 at 6:56 amWhy do I now want to run to walmart for a pair of tiny boots? LOL
Anya says
January 27, 2009 at 6:57 am*Hangs head* I have to admit, I’m not a granola fan. It’s just too much, all that flavor, all that texture. HOWEVER, the programmer is a HUGE granola and cereal fan. He’s always on the hunt for new cereals and trust me, if he likes it, it won’t matter how much it costs.
As for breakfast this morning, I’m suffering from eating spicy Chinese late last night *groan* and am cuddled up to a glass of milk. Normally, though, I make an egg white sandwich with veggies on flax bread or I have a chocolate banana protein shake.
Pat says
January 27, 2009 at 7:02 amMmmmm. Granola.
My most usual breakfast is:
a little low fat cottage cheese, some vanilla lowfat yogurt, sliced strawberries, some blueberries, a tbs of raw sunflower seeds, a sprinkle of ground flax seed
and there you have it.
Carrie says
January 27, 2009 at 7:04 amHave you thought about selling MizFit bandannas?
I’d buy one.
and PICK ME!!!!
I barely have time to eat since I’ve had my twins.
Gena says
January 27, 2009 at 7:05 amI love granola. I sometimes make it myself (it’s pretty easy) but it never seems to be the right consistency.
Today I’m having a strawberry/blueberry/protien powder shake for breakfast. I’m trying to change things around and try new breakfasts. I’m such an adventurer, eh?
Nae says
January 27, 2009 at 7:06 amI eat a lot of oats, but sometimes that gets a lil boring… especially when I have to carry the oats ‘n bowl across our lovely cold Omaha to campus, which tends to result in (a) a cold hand, (b) cold oats and (c) not a very yum breakfast.
So granola could be num:)
Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter) says
January 27, 2009 at 7:07 amI think you look cute in the hat. π 8 grams of protein?!? That is rare in granola…I want some, please! I’ve been doing a little brekkie experiment. Trying something new every morning. I would love to taste test Zoe’s. Thanks Mizfit!
Christine says
January 27, 2009 at 7:09 amFun! My breakfast is a piece of homemade whole wheat bread, peanut butter, banana and a glass of milk. Granola (or the O’s!) would be a fun way to mix it up on days when I’m feeling daring.
π
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 7:16 amUm, DAMN?
please to send some homemade bread my way.

TammyM says
January 27, 2009 at 7:23 amMy breakfast is toast, butter and jam, in addition to way too many cups of coffee. I would love some Zoe’s granola to mix up the drill, though. They also have a great website! It seems very family oriented.
Thanks for the breakfast idea!
Deborah says
January 27, 2009 at 7:24 amSince I’m on dial-up I just don’t like to wait 1 1/2 hours per minute for the videos to download, but I love granola so sign me up!!
Brooke says
January 27, 2009 at 7:28 amI need a major overhaul in the breakfast area. I typically have time for a cup of hot cocoa before i run out of the house. I guess I need more time to sit and relax into my day, huh? I love granola and know from experience, it is a b!t^h to make – it burns so easily! I am up for any flavor.
Lori says
January 27, 2009 at 7:36 amI would LOVE to try the granola! I have been eating the same breakfast for 2 years; an alternative bagel and banana. I’m with you Mizfit, I prefer the softer granola.
Don’t think it’s an age thing, just much better! π
BTW, Love the silence video. I have been trying it for a few months and wow, what a difference!
charlotte says
January 27, 2009 at 7:46 amThis does sound like particularly fab granola! Esp. since most granola is a nutritional landmine. Although I’m curious – have you ever tried making your own? It’s not hard and then you can have it any way you like.
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 7:50 amum, have you met me charlotte?
π
actually I *am* kidding.
I have and need to do again. a mix of oats, wheat germ, wheat flakes, honey, nuts (sunflower seeds and almonds) and cranberries and dried blueberries and….
Hannah says
January 27, 2009 at 8:12 amI love granola. It has been so expensive so I just make my own and man I love it. My breakfast is usually oatmeal with fruit and eggs or granola and yogurt (I make that too, soooo good) The pictures on their website have me salivating. I better go eat!
Kelly says
January 27, 2009 at 8:16 amI have been eating oatmeal most mornings, but anticipate with returning to work part-time in the evenings next week I will need some quick breakfast ideas.
This granola sounds liek a perfect match for our family, even the picky hubby and the 4 kiddos will love it! The only drawback, we’d probably go through a box in one sitting!
Lori says
January 27, 2009 at 8:30 amI love granola on top of greek yogurt with fresh strawberries! One of my favorite summer brekkies.
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 8:34 amgoodGOSH I love the word BREKKIE.
We Americans need to appropriate that chickenbus.
Marianne says
January 27, 2009 at 8:43 amNo surprise – I make my own. But I’m always scanning the boxes for interesting combinations.
Miz do flax seeds need to be ground for proper absorption?
Today for breakfast I grabbed and dashed with some leftover ham and a few bites of fruit salad (yummy yummy).
Tricia2 says
January 27, 2009 at 8:43 amI tend to eat things that can be eaten really fast in the morning, usually because I’ve got work at 6, and don’t want to have to get up and make a breakfast that takes the same amount of time as bolting a yogurt.
That said, I’m always looking for things to put in baggies and keep in my purse/gymbag.
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 8:46 amthumbtyping so just a YESYES Marianne (or you simply poop em out. Yep. ISaidIt.)
Please to search for FLAX here and a facetime will popup.
One of the first ever.
Please NOT to tell me what you think of it.
(But do tell if you can’t find)
ThumbsMcGee OUT.
s says
January 27, 2009 at 8:47 amwow that granola sounds cool, but i’ve never heard of that brand.
my breakfast is currently (dundundun) oatmeal.
Allison says
January 27, 2009 at 8:50 amLooks good. I hope it isn’t too calorically dense.
RooBabs says
January 27, 2009 at 8:53 amMy usual breakfast in cold weather is oatmeal with flax and soymilk. When it’s warmer, I go with cereal and a banana (also with soymilk). I got hooked on Kashi Go Lean Crunch, but it’s pricey, so I only buy it on sale.
Granola that’s not super-crunchy sounds great to me. I think the cranberry-currant is my flavor, although any of them sound tasty!
Oh, and @ Marianne- I think I read somewhere that flax seed should be ground for proper absorption. If you have a coffee grinder, that’s an easy way (I have not done this myself- I buy them preground). = )
Tena says
January 27, 2009 at 8:58 amHi, Carla!
I usually eat oatmeal with flax (thanks to you!) & wheat germ or greek yogurt with blueberries and walnuts.
The granola sounds so yummy! I would love to try it!
And I think the hat is cute on you!
kera says
January 27, 2009 at 9:02 amI can’t find the flax vid, miz.
suzanne says
January 27, 2009 at 9:33 amOh i had granola over my yogurt with blueberries and kiwi and of course flax seed today π I would have loved to try it but being Canadian i’m out π Hope i can find it here.
Marianne says
January 27, 2009 at 9:35 amDang this stuff IS almost $7/box. For that much I expect it to tighten my tush and bulge my biceps.
π
tfh says
January 27, 2009 at 9:40 amI adore granola. I rarely eat it, though, because one day I became aware that a serving size of the kind I was buying was a miniscule 1/2 cup, which meant I was consuming an 800+ calorie, carb-heavy breakfast and explained why I kept getting so darned sleepy afterwards.
But granola with protein? Add that to my Greek yogurt and I’ll be getting, like, 30 grams for breakfast. And I know what you mean about too much crunch (cough, Kashi GoLean Crunch, cough).
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 9:45 amFLAX video. CLICK HERE.
good gosh it’s old.
pre-facetime in kitchen old.
Slacker Mama says
January 27, 2009 at 9:48 amLooks interesting. My current breakfast is Kashi GoLean Crunch in vanilla yogurt. And coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
And I’m sure my girls would love this to boot!
debby says
January 27, 2009 at 9:51 amI really like granola as a topping on yogurt and fruit. This past fall when I was eating so much ‘pumpkin custard’ it was REALLY GOOD as a topping. I’ve only tried crunchy granola, but I always prefer chewy stuff, so i’d love to try this.
POD says
January 27, 2009 at 10:12 amI have not watched the video yet but will before the end of my day. Am I supposed to say how I’d eat it? Oh, flax seed causes me too much meditating time in the bathroom. Send mine win to Rupal.
I do love me some granola. I love it in yogurt. I love it in my hand. I love it in my belly.
I want to be mizfit approved.
Flo says
January 27, 2009 at 10:15 amI would love to try this!! We are the last to get new things here in Hawaii. So if I qualify for US (sometimes I don’t π ) count me in.
Current breakfast is oatmeal with almond butter and honey! OMG, it’s to die for π
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 10:24 amP-O-D?
I approve thee.
Now watch the vid.
Or babysit my kid.
I’m off to class
To sit on my…rump.
Spanish. Mommy&Me.
I’m the star. YesSireee.
Cathy - wheresmydamnanswer says
January 27, 2009 at 10:32 amI love granola and this looks incredible I will check it out to see how it stacks up against my homemade one!! π
marcy says
January 27, 2009 at 10:40 amRight now I either do eggs and a high fiber English muffin or Quaker High Fiber Oatmeal.
Why do I want some Zoe’s? More Omega 3s!! Man I need more of that in my diet.
runjess says
January 27, 2009 at 10:41 amI love granola mixed with cold cereal. I usually just sprinkle on the granola since it is SO DARN EXPENSIVE.
But actually, I make my own sometimes π Much cheaper.
Even cheaper to win it. π
Sheri says
January 27, 2009 at 10:41 amI don’t really have a typical breakfast. Some days it’s cereal, sometimes granola, sometimes wholegrain bread or bagels with peanut butter, sometimes oatmeal, sometimes leftovers. π This morning was 2 cinnamon-raisin english muffins and a glass of OJ. Not real proud of that. *laugh* I would love to try some new granola, though. Especially a high protein one. If I don’t win, I will definitely consider purchasing if I can find it.
HangryPants says
January 27, 2009 at 10:46 amI want that right now. Please.
TB--Milwaukee says
January 27, 2009 at 10:47 amIsn’t granola always a little more expensive than other cereals?
I eat oatmeal with peanut butter, but love adding dry cereal to my yogurt!
Kel says
January 27, 2009 at 10:48 amI am not a breakfast person, coffee is my usual fare. Though I know I need more protein, I am cinnamonallergic so I couldn’t even eat any of Zoe’s granola- But my kids might enjoy, so enter me please!
POD says
January 27, 2009 at 11:09 amI would love to babysit. You know it.
Token Fat Girl says
January 27, 2009 at 11:18 amyes please! I would like some granola for my yogurt…*prays to random number generator gods*
Alyssa says
January 27, 2009 at 11:34 amYum! I’m having visions of Greek yogurt with Zoe’s granola and bananas!!!!
MMMMM….
Tina says
January 27, 2009 at 11:42 amOh Miz~ what a wonderful product! I would love to try. I love love love my oatmeal (and since I don’t eat wheat products…er don’t eat them often) I am pretty picky about what I choose. I would love to try something new. Today I had a half of a grapefruit, 1/4c BareNaked granola w/ 1/2 cup organic vanilla yogurt. Yummo. I prefer chewy granola too… I hope that darn random chooser chooses ME!
Laura says
January 27, 2009 at 11:43 amI love granola! Although it is sometimes hard to keep the serving size moderate! My best best bet is to use it as a topping for yogurt. I would love to try Zoe’s!
Marste says
January 27, 2009 at 11:46 amYou know, I always love granola in theory. That first bite is yummy. But . . . then the box just languishes in my cupboard. I’m more of an eggs-for-breakfast gal. Sounds tasty, though. (But obviously, if my comment wins, please donate it back to someone else. No sense in letting it go stale in my cupboard! Ha!)
Tina says
January 27, 2009 at 11:53 amohh… I’ve been doing a kettlebell class (well 2x so far anyway) and I love it! Thanks for the inspiration.
Marianne says
January 27, 2009 at 12:03 pmWas that makeup you were wearing in that video? Send your daughter to me. I’ll teach her to cook. Yo habla food.
I shall buy the ground flax. A cursory excavation of the upstairs freezer did not result in a find of anything much but half consumed bags of veggies, lunch box chillers, and other things that went straight into the trash…
Aimee says
January 27, 2009 at 12:03 pmI have tried other Zoe products but never their granola, so I’d love to try it!
farmwife says
January 27, 2009 at 12:04 pmSounds yummy! I’m always on the lookout for a fast breakfast because mornings are when things are craziest here. I’d love to try it.
MizFit says
January 27, 2009 at 12:07 pmGOOD G-D NO. Errr, I mean no I surely was not π
own none. too lazy. (to clarify that it isnt because I dont need). dont wanna set any kind of expectation up in herre.
I buy my flax ground. others? they toss in coffee grinder.
BigGirl says
January 27, 2009 at 12:30 pmBreakfast? Hmmmm… I’m usually like a whilrwind running through my house trying to get the The Little Miss fed, brushed, pee’d, changed, and out the door. Me? I grab something as the door is hitting my tushy out the door.
Felice says
January 27, 2009 at 12:49 pmThat sounds good! I usually make my own granola but I do like the convenience of pre-made. I love putting granola in my smoothies. Yum!
Sagan says
January 27, 2009 at 12:50 pmBit late to the party but better late than never to get my MizFit fix for the day!
This granola looks yummy- lots of good nutrients. A little high in sugar for my liking (God I’m such a buzzkill), but the chewy factor is always a plus:)
My breakfast changes every day- but lately I’ve been having plain fat-free yogurt with frozen berries. And then a little while later my bowl of oats with a banana and cinnamon. Or an apple with PB. I’m all about the multiple breakfasts.
shauna/dietgirl says
January 27, 2009 at 12:56 pmi know i can’t win here but just had to peep up, i love your ‘seal of approval’ icon, so cute π

January 27, 2009 at 12:56 pmbuzzkill? never sagan. never!
I look forward to your input/assessment π
Leslie M. says
January 27, 2009 at 1:02 pmWent to the Zoe’s website and loved what I saw! No CRAP in your granola! A good old fashioned company started by someone with VALUES and Morals! YEAH!
I would love to win this!
Count me in!
Oh and I love this Blog!
No CRAP! YEAH!

Kath says
January 27, 2009 at 1:38 pmI’ve never had Zoe’s! I’d love to try it π
Mary Meps says
January 27, 2009 at 1:47 pmSounds yummy. I’m allergic to all dried fruits, however, so you can leave me out as I’d not be able to eat it. Yeah, it’s an annoying allergy.
Mary Meps says
January 27, 2009 at 1:49 pmps, I googled meditation yesterday and found a site by Buddhist monks. I tried it. It’s hard. I didn’t think I was that busy and restless. Wow! Will keep working at it.
Tori - Founder of Zoe Foods! says
January 27, 2009 at 1:57 pmWow – so many responses – that’s great! First, let me dispell the myth about price. The price of a box of Zoe’s Granola is anywhere from $3.00 to $4.99. The higher prices are courtesy of your local retailer. Sam’s Club sells Zoe’s Honey Almond Granola for $7.34 for a 34 ounce box with two bags. Amazon, and soon the Zoe Foods website, sells a box of Zoe’s Granola for $3.20. Take a look at http://www.zoefoods.com to find stores that carry our products.
As a small company, if you can’t find Zoe’s, please ask your local retailer to carry it.
As for the taste, a recent consumer survey of 588 people found that 73% loved or liked Zoe’s better than their current granola or cereal which included everything from Quaker Oats All Natural Granola, Bear Naked, Kashi, Cascadian Farm’s, Nature’s Path, Whole Foods brands, and others.
So enjoy, and feel free to email me with any questions, tori@zoefoods.com! Have a great day.

As a small company, if you can’t find Zoe’s, please ask your local retailer to carry it
As for the taste, a recent consumer survey of 588 people found that 73% loved or liked Zoe’s better than their current granola or cereal which included everything from Quaker Oats All Natural Granola, Bear Naked, Kashi, Cascadian Farm’s, Nature’s Path, Whole Foods brands, and others.

Blushing.
I should get a sample because I need to start eating healthier breakfasts, Duh.

January 27, 2009 at 2:02 pmOh I bet that would be good on plain yogurt!!! I think I’ve seen it at my local Martins/Giant grocer…could be wrong though. They have a whole aisle that is nothing but organic!!! That’s where I get my almond milk π

January 27, 2009 at 2:07 pmMy 5-yr old usually is the cereal eater, dry w/o milk. He oftentimes opts for trail mix for breakfast instead. I’d love to try a healthy cereal for him (not that trail mix is bad), he needs some variety. Please add my name to the hat of those who’d like to try Zoe’s brand granola.

January 27, 2009 at 2:18 pmholy granola, tough competition lately! Comments are being posted a mile a minute! I agree w/ Linda up there on #21, I would LOVE some Zoe’s granola mixed in with my yogurt or cottage cheese snack!
Katie says
January 27, 2009 at 2:51 pmThat granola has gotten great reviews, and sounds yummy!
My breakfast is the same basics everyday (I’m boring): scrambled egg whites with lots of veggies and plain yogurt with berries and flax. I change up the veggies and berries, but that is about it. Granola would be a nice addition to the yogurt!

January 27, 2009 at 3:20 pmMiz how do you do it? The Bumbling Band is growing and you have forced me to delurk for granola.
I’m weak. I love the granola.

January 27, 2009 at 3:33 pmI love granola!! Pick me!! Pick me!!! How is the calorie count though? Granola is usually pretty high and I have to watch my calories,especially since I tend to go a little overboard when eating it.

January 27, 2009 at 4:18 pmWow – so much positive feedback – thank you!! To answer some of your questions:
– Price: It varies from $3/box to $4.99/box. Sam’s Clubs sells it for $7.34 for the equivalent of 3 boxes of Zoe’s Granola. Amazon sells 6 boxes at time for $3.20/box (when they’re in stock). Zoe Foods will soon have an online store that opens later this week. Unfortunately, retailers take a higher markup on products from small companies because they can.
– Nutrition & Calories: All Zoe’s Granolas are high in fiber with 7g per 3/4 cup serving, along with 8g Protein, and 100% daily value of omega-3s. No one has ever gained weight eating Zoe’s, usually people write to us telling us they’ve lost weight! The nutrition comes from whole food ingredients, not fortification.
– Taste: You be the judge. Satisfaction Guaranteed!

January 27, 2009 at 4:21 pmOoh, forgot to mention that my personal favorite is to have Zoe’s Cinnamon Raisin Granola with some plain Stonyfield yogurt! Keeps me full until 2pm, and I have a healthy appetite π
Lisa says
January 27, 2009 at 4:27 pmhuh..i’ll have to try this out while i’m in florida..we don’t have Zoe’s line up here in Canuckland..Looking forward to it! Thanks!
i love granola, but can’t seem to find one lower in fat..this might do the trick!! huh..i wonder how to explain a carry on bag full of granola to customs?
oh well, beats the time my grandmother tried to bring bag Enos Fruit Salts. I swear to you this is true. The glass jars didn’t travel to well so she put them in ziploc bags. Lots of them. Heheheheh..that was fun.
I think granola will be MUCH safer!
thanks for the tip!

January 27, 2009 at 4:30 pmI would love to have those to tote around as a good-choice snack for MYSELF and my kiddies!
Laurie says
January 27, 2009 at 5:00 pmYou don’t need to know what I eat for breakfast since I would be eating the granola for dinner!
I’m a full time student and so busy.
Pick me, Miz!
Would it help if I said that I made my theme of the year personal responsibility, too?? LOL
AndrewE says
January 27, 2009 at 5:53 pmI’d like to try that! Protein and flax seeds – you can’t go wrong!
ttfn300 says
January 27, 2009 at 6:40 pmhmm, i have not tried this granola, i wish granola had lower cal counts, b/c i could eat a box. and not in the recommended 12 servings…

January 27, 2009 at 7:39 pmCarla!!! Thank you so much for popping by my blog and commenting. I really appreciate your support. The holidays really got me off my routine and well, the scale is showing it badly. I’m trying really hard to get back on track and am slowly getting there. I need to work on getting in some movement – rather than sleeping in late. Thanks again for the support. π
Rachel says
January 27, 2009 at 7:46 pmLove granola too and would prolly like this one too.
Current b-fast is oatmeal almost 90% of the time. The cranberry current one looks the best to me.
sassy stephanie says
January 27, 2009 at 8:38 pmYum. Zoe’s bars rock too.
Marisa (trim the fat) says
January 27, 2009 at 8:43 pmOoooh, I dig granola!!! Never tried Zoe’s! Love the nutritionals though!
darya says
January 27, 2009 at 9:26 pmYay, I love talking about food!
My question is how much sugar is in this stuff?
I always find that granola has waaaay too much sugar. >15g of sugar is dessert to me. I like to keep breakfast <5g if possible.
For a regular meal (rather than a treat) I prefer muesli because it is just grains, nuts and fruit, and I can add my own sweetness if I want it. Dorset is my favorite brand. Not cheap, but totally worth it in my book. I get it at Whole Foods.
Thanks MizFit!!

January 27, 2009 at 9:44 pmHi Miz! I don’t like raisins either! Except in pecan cake. I might like the granola with no raisins and no cranberries–honey oat, was it?
I just yesterday found a store that carries Bob’s Red Mill Scottish Oatmeal, which is what I really like for breakfast to the exclusion of any other oatmeal. So I had some of that for breakfast today! Yay! But I eat it with butter–not much, just a little pat. Hate it with milk and sugar or cinnamon etc. Essentially I treat it as a baked potato…
Just Kelly says
January 27, 2009 at 10:18 pmEvry time I watch your videos your arms startle me! LOL in a good way but still like a “daaaaaaammmmmmmnnnnn” way. Michelle Obama’s got nothing on you!
I want granola! This bumbling band member needs to stay flaxed up! Or… something. I’m tired π
Sad about the lack of Costco love though. Costco > Sam’s.
I’m rambling…
PICK ME!
Michelle Smiles says
January 27, 2009 at 10:28 pmI just won a book so exclude me even though I love me some granola…but I wanted to say that I LOVE LOVE LOVE the seal of approval girl!

January 28, 2009 at 10:42 amI’m off to Whole Foods to get some Zoe’s granola this afternoon. Can’t wait to mix it with my yogurt & blueberries tomorrow morning!
Tori - Founder of Zoe Foods! says
January 28, 2009 at 10:53 amHi Joy, I don’t know where you live, but Zoe’s Granola is unfortunately not carried in many of the Whole Foods stores anymore π If it’s not in your local store, please request it, you can make more of a difference there than the company can.
In the meantime, we just opened the Zoe Foods Online Store because Amazon keeps stocking out. Have a look if you’d like: http://www.zoefoods.com/products/buy_eatwell.htm
Best, Tori
Tori - Founder of Zoe Foods! says
January 28, 2009 at 12:05 pmThere was a question about how much sugar in Zoe’s Granola. We’ve tried to keep it as low as possible, but the only way you can get those clusters is with sugar. So here are the facts. Zoe’s Honey Almond Granola has 11g sugar, Cinnamon Raisin has 12g sugar, and the Cranberries Currants has 13g sugar. The flavors with more fruit have more sugar due to the fruit.
For all of the nutrition facts, you can go to: http://www.zoefoods.com/products/flax_soy_cereal.htm
Keep dreaming, keep believing, keep achieving!
