When it comes to “healthy” foods that can pack on the pounds, granola is at the top of the list! With hundreds of calories and nearly a day’s worth of added sugar in a single half-cup, many brands of granola have more sugar than a serving of Froot Loops!

Fortunately, there are some incredibly nutritious options out there. Read on for a list of my favorites, as well as brands you should avoid. (You can use the store locator on the product websites to find where to buy them in your region.)
