Try A Mediterranean Breakfast: Review and Giveaway

A few weeks ago, I received a box of Ambrosial Granola from a mystery person (I still don’t know who you are!). Ambrosial Granola.JPG

Whomever it was, though, has certainly got my number. As of late, I haven’t been able to get enough of these delicious yogurt bowls, which I love for their portability (I bring them to work), how satisfying they are, the variety of flavors and textures, and their nutrition punch!

Ambrosial Granola is inspired by the principles of the Mediterranean diet, which focuses on nutrition from healthy fats, whole grains, fresh fruit, vegetables, and fish, and encourages heart health.

A little about the company:

It all started when Anastasia, a new mother, couldn’t find a breakfast cereal or granola cereal good enough to feed her children.

Raised on the Mediterranean diet and motivated by the blossoming environmental movement advocating the return to traditional plant-based diet, whole grains, plant protein and clean food, Anastasia decided to create her own healthy granola recipe for her family.

Not a simple task at the time! She began by seeking out hard-to-find granola ingredients from sparsely located health food stores. After some experimentation, the first batches of fragrant organic whole grains, walnuts, seeds and honey started coming out of the kitchen oven. Delicious granola became the perfect breakfast, offering the wholesome goodness and nutritional balance of the traditional Mediterranean diet to the family.

The homemade granola recipes are made with the same uncompromised passion for quality a few decades later. Anastasia is the heart and soul of the family owned and operated company. With the same activist mindset that we all should be “part of the solution,” she is making sure that Ambrosial Granola offers the absolute best products, nourishing clean food that tastes great and is good for our family and yours.

There are some things that have changed since the beginning – the children are grown ups now and granola is not only for hippies anymore. What remain unchanged are our values and quality standards.

All of Ambrosial’s products are 100% USDA Certified Organic, contain no added fat, have a 31- 37% fruit, nut and seed content, and are rich in Omega-3s, antioxidants, fiber and whole grains.

The ingredient lists are short, clean, and to the point.

The granola is texture-heavy, and full of satisfying chunks.

The muesli is mixed with a variety of dried fruits and seeds.

It’s all part of your complete breakfast.

The best part? The company is based locally, right here in New York!
