I absolutely love granola on fresh fruit and yogurt! It’s probably my favorite breakfast to have during the week or at home on the weekend. Today I’m reviewing a perfect every day granola I picked up from Costco. The Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Seed + Flax granola!
Taste
This granola is a lot simpler than other granolas I’ve had from Costco but I really like it. It’s less crunchy than other granolas and also doesn’t have the huge chunks so I feel like it’s a better granola for those that want to eat it plain with milk as a breakfast cereal. I’ve reviewed the Costco Kirkland Signature Nature’s Path Organic Ancient Grains Granola as well as the Costco Nature’s Path Cashew Butter & Coconut granola and feel like those are slightly sweeter, crunchier and have more of those large chunks. There’s lots of pumpkin seeds throughout the granola as well as flax seeds. The granola has a touch of cinnamon and is lightly sweetened. This granola is pretty basic and isn’t my favorite Costco granola I’ve tried but I still enjoyed it.
Cost
This 1kg bag of Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Seed + Flax Granola cost $9.99 Canadian, regular price. I think this is reasonably priced for a pretty large bag of granola!
Convenience
The best before date is about nine months from the date I purchased the granola and the bag is also resealable. You can eat this granola plain as a snack, with milk, on fruit, on top of your smoothie or even with yogurt.
Nutrition
It’s so easy to eat a large serving of this granola! A ¾ cup serving is 260 calories, 10 grams of fat, 10 grams of sugar, six grams of protein, five grams of fibre, 45 mg of sodium and 37 grams of carbohydrates. The second ingredient listed is cane sugar so this isn’t sugar-free. Also not gluten-free or nut-free.
If I had to choose my favorite granola I’d probably pick the Cashew Butter & Coconut Granola from Nature’s Path Organic available at Costco.

What ingredients would your dream granola have? Mine would have pecans, almonds, flax seeds, hemp hearts, rolled oats, dried apricot chunks and LOTS of cinnamon!
This granola with pumpkin seeds and flax is outstanding.
Why do you say that natures path organic pumpkin flax granola is not gluten free? I keep looking at the ingredients and I can’t tell which one has gluten in it
If you’re super sensitive to wheat or celiac the oats can contain small amount of wheat.
