Hippie Chow Review and Giveaway

I'm all for good tasting, wholesome, snacks. There's nothing better than indulging in something that not only tastes good, but is good for you at the same time.



About Hippie Chow:
Our gourmet granola is made with all natural ingredients. You won't find any artificial flavors or preservatives in our food, thank you.
Each batch is handmade to ensure premium quality and freshness. It's a lot of work but we think our customers are worth it. (taken from website.)

I was sent 6 bags of Hippie Chow plus a reusable totebag. I received 3 flavors and 2 bags each of original, peanut butter, and chocolate. The totebag could come in handy for taking to the beach or a picnic in the park once the weather gets warmer.


The peanut butter granola features banana chips, coconut & walnuts. The chocolate is pure cocoa bliss, and the original has almonds pecans and cranberries. All 3 flavors were very fresh and provided a great crunch that was bursting with great flavor. Each bag was 10 oz and held a lot of granola! I really liked that the bags are reclosable after you are done snacking.

I've had chocolate granola before and really loved it. Some can be extremely rich though, so I was hoping it wasn't too sweet. This granola curtailed my sweet tooth but had a subtle cocoa taste that I loved. It was excellent! The color of the granola was a perfect dark brown. It smelled delicious too and I really enjoyed trying it.

When I opened the bag of peanut butter granola to sample it, it smelled like I just opened a jar of peanut butter! It smelled fabulous. I had never tried peanut butter granola before, so I knew I was in for a treat. I like that healthy banana chips, coconut and walnut pieces were combined in the granola too. Having a granola that is full of important nutrients that your body needs on a daily basis is vital. The banana chips were crunchy and had a great flavor. The granola was crunchy and had a great peanut butter taste that was full of flavor. It was like I was eating a peanut butter sandwich! I would not think to pair coconut and walnut together, but surprisingly they do go well together and the flavors combined are unique.

Lastly, I tried the original mix granola. This is the most popular form of granola available, in my opinion. Everyone loves sweet tangy cranberries, crunchy and toasted almonds and pecans paired with granola that offers a satisfying crunch. How can you go wrong? I am a big fan of cranberries so I was looking forward to trying this granola. The fruit had a great fresh red color and provided a great tangy sweetness that I absolutely loved. The almonds and pecans were fresh as well and paired well with the granola. This would be a perfect snack to take with you on a hike or walk.

These granola's are perfect for children to have as snacks because they are enjoying something that tastes good but also is very healthy too. They will love the different flavors that Hippie Chow offers.
