A bag of granola or crunchy muesli might seem simple to pick, but the differences in sugar, fibre, protein, allergens and portion size are significant. A crunchy texture or appealing flavour tells you little about the composition. So when you buy breakfast cereals online, it pays to compare the nutrition table and ingredients list side by side.
A product labelled granola with no added sugar can still contain natural sugars from fruit. Ingredients such as dates, raisins, glucose syrup or honey can also increase the total sugar content. Always check the “of which sugars” line per 100g, not just the front of the packet.
According to the product information, Quaker Zs Cruesli Raisin & Hazelnut has no added sugar or sweeteners. Yet the nutrition table shows 9.4g of sugars per 100g, some of which occur naturally in the raisins. That gives you a much more concrete starting point than just the front of the packet.
A granola can be high in fibre, but also relatively high in energy or fat due to oil, nuts and seeds. That doesn’t automatically make it unsuitable, but it is important to check the portion size. Compare the values per 100g and then use a realistic serving, for example 30 to 45g with yoghurt or milk.
Granola and crunchy muesli often contain oats, wheat, nuts, peanuts, soya or milk. “Vegan breakfast cereals” are not the same as gluten-free granola. Oats can also be labelled separately as gluten-free, whereas a product containing wheat, barley or spelt is not.
If you have an allergy, always check the full allergen declaration on the current packaging. The warning “may contain traces of” is also relevant.
The most important basis for comparison is the table per 100g. Pay particular attention to:
According to the product information, Holie's Crunchy Muesli Protein Chocolate contains 22g of protein and 21g of fibre per 100g. Holie's Granola Low Carb Crunch contains 18g of carbohydrates, 22g of protein and 16g of fibre per 100g. The products also provide 429 and 490 kcal per 100g respectively. So a lower carbohydrate content does not automatically mean fewer calories.
Ingredients are listed in descending order by quantity. If sugar, syrup or oil appears near the top, it makes up a larger proportion of the composition. In products with a higher proportion of wholegrains, oat or wheat flakes will be listed first.
According to the product information, Quaker Cruesli 4 Nuts contains 95% wholegrains and 10.7% nuts. The mix includes almonds, hazelnuts, pecans and Brazil nuts. If you are specifically looking for granola with nuts, you should also check which nuts are actually present and whether traces of other nuts may occur.
A multipack is handy for families or daily use, but don’t automatically buy in bulk before you know the flavour and texture. A smaller pack can be wiser when you are trying a new variety. For regular users, a pack of 6 x 350g, like some Holie's granola varieties, can be more practical. Store an opened bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place.
Why this fits the profile: An accessible option for anyone wanting to try crunchy muesli with fruit, with no added sugars or sweeteners according to the product information.
The table shows 4.4g of sugars and 24g of fibre per 100g. This makes it clear at a glance that “no added sugar” is not the same as sugar-free.
400g, 7.5g protein and 24g fibre per 100g; suitable for vegans according to the product information.
Why this fits the profile: A multipack for lovers of nuts, seeds and a hearty crunch, with clear nutritional values per 100g.

15g fibre, 13g protein and 0g salt per 100g; contains almond, hazelnut and pecan.
Why this fits the profile: Aimed at anyone looking for a high-protein granola with chocolate flavour and a bulk supply.
The claim of 22% protein can be verified in the nutrition table: it shows 22g of protein per 100g. The product does contain wheat and gluten.
21g fibre, 22g protein and 2.1g sugars per 100g; pack of 6 x 400g.
Why this fits the profile: An option for anyone looking for gluten-free granola with peanut and cocoa, and who wants to try a smaller pack first.
According to the product information, the base is made from gluten-free wholegrain oat flakes. If you have coeliac disease or an allergy, always check the current packaging and the warning about possible traces.

We have put together a full, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and comply with current European safety regulations.
You can’t decide that based on the name alone. Granola and crunchy muesli are umbrella terms for crispy breakfast cereals. Compare the amount of sugar, fibre, protein, fat and the ingredients per 100g. A variety with nuts, for example, may contain more fat and energy, while another variety may have more fibre or protein.
Look at the amount of protein per 100g. Products such as Holie's Crunchy Loops Cinnamon and Holie's Crunchy Muesli Protein Chocolate contain 23g and 22g of protein per 100g respectively. Also pay attention to allergens: these varieties contain wheat, peanuts or soya, among other things.
Store granola and crunchy muesli in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Seal the bag tightly after each use or use an airtight storage container. This generally helps keep the crunchy texture better. Always check the best-before information on the packaging.
