Many of us start the day with a nice bowl of cereal! Muesli and granola can be a solid nutritional choice because they are made of grains, nuts, seeds, and fruits.
Be careful though! Some of these manufactured products are loaded with sugar and contain a wide range of additives 🙁

Sugar content is very high in most of these granolas. That’s too important to omit when recommending healthy foods
A great list I buy a few of these products.
Hi, just wondering, are these ratings ok to use for choosing foods for a diabetic?
Yuka is an excellent app
I tried the Bobs Mill Granola mixed into my Bob’s Red Mill oatmeal. It was absolutely 100% delicious and very filling! I will continue to enjoy my oatmeal this way with Bob’s Red Mill brand. Thank you Julie from Yuka. I love using the Yuka App which prevents me from purchasing unwholesome products containing suspicious ingredients.
Thank you, I really appreciate it! I will look for the cereal recommended since I really like cereal.
Thanks for keeping me posted on Nutritional value and why it’s essential to longevity. This App is a godsend. All your hard work is counted towards greater good for light years to come ✌️
Hello my name is Auther Cooper and I tried to become a member. My order was not processed and you stop sending me information. Pumacooper@icloud.com Harriette sent me her latest correspondence and I would like some one to look into this.
Thanks!!! Great information I will definitely indulge. Can’t thank you enough for all that you do. This truly helps me make better choices in the toxic grocery stores.
I totally agree, scary what I see is out there and in our foodstuff.
Thank you for this email information, it helps a lot👍😁
I agree, the bioengineered ingredients need to be added.
Is it possible to include bioengineered into the ingredients?
Also Bill gates crap apeel
This list is abominable. Not one single comment about the sugar content of these products and the bioengineered ingredients. This list also doesn’t take into account glyphosate. Terrible job Julie. Yuck.
Gary: Even any healthy food we can eat 10% of what we would normally eat. When natural foods are made with ingredients to make it taste better is what we get accustomed to, we should eat the natural food until we develop a taste for that food. The seven day at finished church uses a diet that is very healthy. Salt and sugar has flavor but when it is impregnated an hour tongue along with the preservatives is there for a while so we crave more and more. It is not easy to change the bad foods that we developed a taste for. Small portions is always better. I sure appreciate this out and the effort you all put for to keep us healthy.
I am surprised that Familia’s Swiss Musli is nor on this list
Thanks for all of your hard work. I shared this app. with all my friends.
Aldi
Own brand musili Good?
Excellent information about meusli and granola. Good job. Keep up good work.
I was wondering about all the grains that have Glyphosate other word for round up weed killer on or in there products. I don’t eat cereals anymore unless they are non gmo and organic and even so they still have traces of Glyphosate in the grains too just a lower amount. Now the bioengineering foods. Are you checking products with this used in products. Or only saying whole grains and low sugar thats how to grade a product.
I’m so disappointed that you include products with grains not listed as organic. Conventional oats and wheat are loaded with glyphosate (Roundup).
Love your app. I have had people in the market ask me what I am doing. I have showed so many your app. You have helped me make so many great decisions.
Hi Julie love the posts can you do us a favor though and do one of these that doesn’t use products owned by Blackrock company or Vanguard thanks.
Hello Travis. Could you tell me why the exclusion of V and B since they do deal with food directly?
Thanks
The app is so positive, it’s so advantageous to even have someone taking the time and giving such access to healthy informative choices. A lot of us were ignorant about what we were consuming. Thanks Yuka!
Lots of these brands are not good for you. Number 10 Great Value is WALMART GARBAGE. Number 6, 8, 9, 12 – Target brands etc. I would say maybe 5 of these are okay, not 15. Please do better.
what criteria are you using for your comment?
I was wondering why some of the products you say are acceptable are not on Bobby approved and he points out certain ingredients that are not good for you yet Yucca says it is good?
The Yuka app is one of the best I’ve ever used. I have “purged” a lot of items I thought were good just because they were more expensive brand names. Now, I check just about everything I buy, especially products for body and skin. I am always amazed at the high dollar brand names with low ratings, and the lesser known ones with superior ratings. I have spread the word about this app. The info has changed my life. Really appreciate what the company does!
Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for that, you guys are great!
Great – thanks
This is good to know since I use granola in my oatmeal. I’m a dialysis patient and we need good protein and fiber with low sugar and no additives.
I like use that app Yuka so much, I learn a lot from you guys. Thank you!
I like this, it’s nice to see the thing’s we should be eating and it’s good information..
Thank you very encouraging and helpful.
Thanks Julie. I still share this app with people when I can. Shared with a nurse practioner a few weeks ago and she was excited. Keep up the good work
Greetings,
I am a member of your company. There is a brand of Muesli product by the company name of Michele’s Granola. They produce all of their products in one facility in Timonium,MD. The Muesli has very low sugar. The oats are sweetened with maple sugar. Check it out! The best muesli I’ve ever had. I eat it with Three Wishes Cinnamon cereal.
Best,
Mark

Thanks for the tips. Love your app
Thank you for the update info – I do have cereal in the morning so will check out your suggestions
I absolutely LOVE your app, have shared it with friends, also love this granola list, I have one of them in my pantry, I continue to work on a healthier lifestyle and your app helps me along the way, I am a senior and have over the years eaten too many sugar products and no longer want to do so. BTW how much is a membership, I live in the US.
If anyone needs a good grain free granola, Autumn’s Gold is great. It contains almonds, honey, pecans, sunflower seeds, coconut, coconut oil, vanilla, salt and cinnamon. It is great mixed with blueberries and coconut milk yogurt!
Much appreciated! This is so helpful – I don’t always have time to make my own and knowing which go-to products to use is perfect!
Thank you for these tips
your number one granola is also mine 🙂 good call! however, a granola i also absolutely love and is still so healthy is by Mountain Rise. https://mountainrise.com/vegan-granola/ the vegan one is the best!
Dealing with some side effects from Covid vaccine including kidney disease! Your app has made life so much easier
This app is a life saver trust me on that things I use to consume I consume no more cause of this app I’m eating healthier and making better choice in what I eat thanks alot

Bear naked has an artificial sweetener in it. It leaves an aftertaste in my mouth.
Thank you for informing us of the granola’s that are good for you. I appreciate your research.
Very helpful app,
Ive noticed that products that have High Fructose corn syrup are not flagged. Wanted to know why.?
I absolutely love this app and recommend it to anyone who will listen! Thanks for all that you do. BTW, do you ever write reviews of Trader Joe’s products? They are very well-made and have lots of healthy/organic ingredients. Thanks!
I’m So In Live With This App, My Health Has Improved Dramatically After Adjusting Some Eating Habits..Thanks To Yuka..🙌🏽🤩👏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you so much
Awesome information
Appreciate all of you🥰
What about Granola breakfast bars.
Yuka has definitely helped me to choose smarter! I always use it when deciding what is best to eat! I switched to Kashi cereals only!
I noticed even the top ranked cereal has added sugar. How about a good sugar substitute like stevia or monk fruit? I wasn’t able to check the ingredients on all of them, so perhaps you did have some on the list with a healthier sugar substitute. Thank you.
Totally agree!!! I find that Yuka doesn’t take into consideration added sugars.
Very good info. I need to switch some of my cereals.
Thank you! I will consider.
Thanks for the info, very helpful. I’m interested in knowing where would Purely Elizabeth granola fall on this list?
Thank you!! I use some of those and appreciate your app
Thank you, I love granola now I can pick the best one for me
Thank you to let me know about the good product I always use the app when I going to the store I loved
Excellent
Love this app. Now I use it for beauty products as well as food.
Thank you. I love granola and I use this app for all my food products.
