Thanks to MyBlogSpark & Nature Valley, I recently got to try Nature Valley’s new selection of Granola Nut Clusters!
“Bringing natural goodness to snacking since introducing the first granola bar in 1975, the folks at Nature Valley are proud to introduce bite-sized Granola Nut Clusters. Imagine a lightly sweet, yet salty, combination of roasted pecans, cashews, and peanuts gently rolled in Nature Valley granola and a touch of honey. It’s a taste of nature, one delicious bite at a time.”
I love Nature Valley Granola bars, and have been including them in my back-to-school quick breakfast & early afternoon snack routine. As much as I love them… I enjoy the Nut Clusters even more! They’re just as convenient and delicious, but have even more snack possibilities.
There are four varieties available: Honey Roasted Peanut, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew, and Nut Lovers (which is a mix of all three). Yum!!! My personal favorite is the Nut Lovers, as I can’t decide which nut is my favorite… And I think my boyfriend agrees, as that bag was the first to go!
The bags close easily so you can throw them in your bag without worrying, then pull them out discreetly in class without all the rustling of opening a granola bar wrapper. And the “cluster” aspect makes them super easy to share, and since there’s more than one serving in each bag, you won’t be disappointed when a friend wants half your snack!
What else do I love about these delicious Nut Clusters… There are just so many things! How about the fact that they’re all natural? Or that 7 clusters (each one is about the size of a half dollar) has 160 calories- in the Nut Lovers version, at least (I don’t have the other bags handy as I write this). Nuts are a healthy inclusion into any diet, although Nut Clusters are a much better version than the heavily salted mixes!
The wonderful companies that sent me a delicious Nature Valley Granola Nut Cluster “kit” would like to share with one of you, as well! You’ll win all the items pictured above- a 5 oz bag of each variety, binoculars, a flashlight, a sling-backpack, and a water bottle!

My favorite thing about nature is the sounds. I love hearing trees blow in the wind or crickets chirping at night.

I love taking walks through the woods and around the lake where I live, especially this time of year, while it’s still warm and the leaves are beginning to change color.
My favorite thing about nature is the changing of the seasons. Most importantly autumn. I think that seeing the leaves change especially in the country is one of life’s most beautiful things. Every year it still amazes me to see the leaves change in the country.
my favorite thing about nature is the green landscapes! I JUST LOOOOVE GREEN LANDSCAPES!
While they all sound great, I LOVE almonds..so I think I’d like to try those first.
Mmm.. walking in the woods..munching on Nut Lovers clusters!!
I’ve always been a nature lover so my favorite thing is taking a walking at an outdoor track at a local nature.
Enjoy the flowers bird watching.
I love the mountains!

My favorite thing about nature is that, nature provides humans with everything that they need, there are so many edible wild plants out there that people have no idea of, that are actually very very tasty, from cat tails, to dandelions, to thistles and roses! Nature always gives you that sense of stability and peace, when you are out there in the wilderness, surrounded by trees and plants, and the wind, the birds, you just get such a sense of freedom, nature is almost magical and wonderful.
My favorite snack is actually granola bars! i enjoy them and love them so much that i could eat a whole box of granola bars in one day! which, might not be so good lol, but i do love them!
I subscribe to your blog 🙂
I love the serenity and the beauty of nature

Nature isn’t my friend during the fall due to severe allergies. I love watching the leaves change and I love the relief of the drop in temperature after a long, hot summer!
I’d love to try the honey roasted peanut.
