Happy Monday! I finally got round to recording a vlog…yay! It’s been almost a year since I actually sat down filmed one, but they have always been something that I loved to do. I think life just got a bit hectic and vlogs took a back seat for a long time. I’m now committing myself to record at least two a month and see how I go from there.

So this since this is my first vlog in my 2 a month pledge I thought that I would kick things off with a mini review of a new product that I have been sent to try. Lizi’s Granola kindly sent me some packets of their On the Go Granola. I’m a big fan of Lizi’s Granola anyway, so was really happy to accept these for review.
Let it be known that granola is like crack to me, I love it and not ashamed to admit it. There have been incidences where a box hasn’t even managed to even last a week. When I treat myself to a box I have to lock it away to save me from myself. In terms of brands that I like to buy, there are some which I will steer clear of as they can be full of sugar and chemical nasties, but Lizi’s is one that I always go back to – my favourite is the pecan and treacle flavour.
On the Go granola pouches come in 47g bags, which means that they are nicely portioned out for granola addicts like myself. They come in 3 different flavours: Belgian chocolate, treacle and pecan and original. The treacle and pecan flavour didn’t last long around me.

One of my favourite ways to eat granola is with almond milk and berries
On the ingredients list is lactose whole milk powder, which is pivotal to how these snack packs work. The idea is that you add water to the pouch to activate the milk powder. Since they come complete with a plastic spoon, packing your own cutlery isn’t necessary. As far as snacks go I think these have a decent list of ingredients and are sweetened with fructose, which can be a concern for some, but I think it’s fine in moderation. They are a great way to spice up your snack draw if you are stuck in a rut.
You can show Lizi’s Granola some love on Twitter and Facebook.

Do you have a favourite brand of granola? What is your favourite way to eat it?
I also love granola and have tried a fair few brands. One that I usually go back to is the Jordan’s cereals super berry granola as I like the freeze dried berry pieces. M&S used to go a great one years ago which was a no nonsense organic raisin one but unfortunately they stopped selling it.
I don’t mind it that much but I love if I can have strawberry in any shape or form lol. Nice blog and vlog, I am trying to vlog at least 2 times a month too. Great minds
I’m not a big granola fan – mainly because I think, like you, I could gobble it all up too quickly. Plus I love my porridge for breakfast. But I could probably eat handfuls as a snack – so tasty!
I was sent some and really like it, definitely good to have portion control when it comes to granola!
Love the vlog Jemma! So clever that the granola already has milk impregnated in it so you just add water – super convenient.
I have to admit I’m not a huge granola fan, though I do have some Primrose’s Kitchen in the cupboard, which is rather delish.
Saw your video on youtube this morning – your so cute, good to see you back. I love how these are portioned out too!
I’ve never tried granola, it looks good and sounds quite healthy so I guess I’ll give it a try. I do love my porridge though.
never tried granola before! looks good though.

I do like granola, but am not a fan of raisins or sultanas, so there are only certain packets I like. I love adding fresh berries as well. There’s something about the bright colours and fresh taste of strawberries and blueberries with cereal/granola!
I am a HUGE fan of Lizi’s granola. The chocolate one is amazing.
I am going to be getting back in to vlogging too, just need to get myself a better camera first.
Cool idea! I love Lizi’s 🙂
I love granola too, and it is also something I struggle to control my portions of! It is really easy to keep taking handfuls from the box until it is empty!
