Do you like it?
Does it fit into your calories and nutrition goals?
Do you feel okay after eating it?
All substitutions and suggestions aside, those are the three questions I ask when I'm evaluating a food. If all three answers are yes, then it's probably a fine inclusion in your overall diet. If the answer to any of them is no, then you might consider something else (and you've got plenty of completely different options in this thread if you opt to go that route)5 -

I wouldn't avoid it completely, but would save it for dessert or a bed time snack rather than have it for breakfast.0 -
I use to eat granola and yogurt every morning. The main thing i didnt like was the amount of sugar the granola had.0

I'd be eyeing the calorie content more than the ingredients. Granola is a jerk.8

I’ve always equated granola with a clever marketing ploy to sell the sweepings from a cereal factory floor!
Something about it tastes weirdly dry and dusty to me. Plus calories! 🤯1 -
The most delicious granola I ever tasted was from Yotam Ottolenghi, which he sells it in the trattoria section of his London restaurants as well as online.

Found a recipe for it online from one of his cookbooks.

When I typed it into the recipe builder, I discovered a 50g serving was 460 kcal.3 -
The best one I ever had was from here.

Eek! That’s a hefty calorie count! 😱
That, no doubt, is why it was the best granola you ever tasted! 😂4 -
I recently discovered this baked granola - not too bad on the calories or sugar and so delicious! I'm addicted! https://healinghomefoods.com/shop/baked-granola/0

Granola makes a great addition to raw rolled oats. I use about 1/3 granola to 2/3 raw rolled oats. Add 1% or skim milk and fresh fruit and it is a breakfast.1
