Lizi's Low Sugar Granola Nuts & Seeds — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Lizi's Low Sugar Granola Nuts & Seeds by Lizi's OKAY — score 60/90.
A genuinely oat-, nut-, and seed-dominant granola with no artificial anything, but rapeseed oil plus two added sweeteners (treacle + agave) keep it from being truly clean.
Why this verdict
- Wholegrain oats, seeds, and nuts make up ~80% of the mix — real fibre and healthy fats
- Genuinely low total sugar (~1.7g per 50g portion)
- No artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, or preservatives
- Refined rapeseed oil and two added sweeteners (treacle + agave) keep it from being clean
- Crisped rice adds refined starch and a little enriched wheat flour
Ingredients (8)
- Wholegrain oat flakes (65%) (safe) — Whole grain oats — high in soluble fibre (beta-glucan), supports cholesterol and steady blood sugar.
- rapeseed oil (moderate) — Refined seed oil used to carry seasoning and add fat/calories.
- Seeds (pumpkin, sunflower) 8% (safe) — Whole seeds add protein, magnesium, and healthy fats.
- Nuts (almonds, hazelnuts) 7% (safe) — Whole nuts provide protein, fibre, and monounsaturated fats.
- Crisped rice (rice + enriched wheat flour, malted barley, sunflower oil) (moderate) — Refined starch filler with some enriched wheat flour; adds crunch but little nutrition and a higher glycaemic load.
- Toasted coconut chips (safe) — Whole coconut; adds saturated fat but is a recognizable whole food.
- Black Treacle (moderate) — Added sugar (molasses) — small amount here but still free sugar.
- agave syrup (moderate) — A second added sweetener, high in fructose; two sweeteners signals engineered sweetness even at low totals.
