This granola/cereal is great. I have many allergies and I never get sick no matter how much of this I eat. The new formula is crunchy in a nicer way unlike the old formula could have broken a tooth. (There were uncooked rice grains in there like little stones.) I add splenda and a little more cinnamon and cover it in skim milk, then heat it up in the microwave. It's thickens like oatmeal and it's very tasty that way! Also good in yogurt.I'm suprised by the negative reviews of this I eat this as a snack, not a breakfast a 1/2 cup of this in a baggie taken to work and eaten like I would normally have eaten potato chips very crunchy, very nice.This granola is yummy and for those who need gluten-free AND no corn or soy or nuts, it is a fabulous find. I've tried Enjoy Life's variety with dried strawberries and it's good as well. I highly recommend Amazon's subscribe and save for your favorite specialty foods that are offered that way. No shipping cost (even if less than […]) and at least for those I purchase there is a significant savings over local store prices. In Seattle, the shipment arrives in just 2 days as well. With subscribe and save you can sign up for every six months delivery and change that schedule or order an extra shipment or cancel whenever you want too.I purchased this product as a snack item... I have to agree with the other reviewers, this granola is just plain bad. It is hard but not crunchy. The pieces are irregular--some much to large to eat since it is so hard, others too small. I actually came on the web to figure out if anybody found a viable way to use up this product--a recipe or something. So far, no luck.Typically I find that Enjoy Life products surprise me with how good they areespecially considering they avoid the ten most common allergens in their ingredients. I want to like this product, but it just just does not stand up to the superior taste quality I have found in other products I have enjoyed from this company. The box advertises a "NEW crunchier taste!" and, sans the "er", the claim would be an outright lie. The product is not remotley crunchy, however, the texture is not wholly unpleasant, though it is visually unappealing. The cinnamon taste is what made this product unpalatable; it is very overpowering and after eating only a few pieces creates an oil like coating on the tongue, that is not at all quick to dissipate. The cinnamon taste is less akin to that of an oatmeal cookie, and more like the taste of cinnamon oil in an inexpensive candy. Sorry Enjoy Life this one's just not for me.
