Lark Ellen Farm Granola Bites, Cacao Cherry, Grain Free, Organic

Chocolate and cherries go together like bread and butter! Except this pairing is missing the grains. Lightly sweetened and crunchy, this grain free granola is less decadent than it sounds. Unsweetened cocoa and unsweetened dark cherries are combined with our nuts and seeds to bring you a delicious and healthy way to curb your sweet tooth.

Our grain free granola bites are far from ordinary. We have replaced oats with nutritious sprouted seeds and nuts that are gently dehydrated. Light, crunchy clusters that are full of nutrients and taste delicious – as a breakfast cereal, with fruit or yogurt, or right out of the bag! This perfect snack is handcrafted in beautiful Ojai, California, where good health and vibrant spirit are a way of life.

Upon the recommendation of a fitness trainer, Kelley D’Angelo of Ojai, Calif., swore off all grains for 30 days. That was a tall order for a grain lover; bread, pasta, and cereal were staples in her diet. But she had been plagued by low energy, a chronic aching knee, digestive trouble and stubborn weight that she could not shed, so she decided to give the grain-free diet a try. 

The first 30 days were tough,” Kelley said. “But one day I woke up and had new energy. My knee had stopped aching, I lost 15 pounds, my energy went through the roof and I felt 20 years younger. There was only one problem; I missed my morning cereal.  I needed that morning crunch and needed something satiating so that I wouldn't snack between meals.” 

After some experimentation, Kelley came up with her original recipe of Vanilla Cinnamon granola made from sprouted, dehydrated nuts and seeds with coconut oil, cinnamon and maple syrup. Her friends and family found it down-right addicting, so she started selling her treats at the local farmer’s market. She became known as the Ojai Granola Girl.

After just six months, Kelley introduced her brand, Lark Ellen Farms, and saw her product on local store shelves. This grainless granola is made in small batches from quality nuts, seeds that are locally sourced. No fillers, additives or grains of any kind. She sprouts and dehydrates the ingredients at a low temperature in order to preserve the nutritional value and flavor while also making them more easily digestible.

Azure is proud to offer Lark Ellen Grain-Free Granola in four flavors: Original Vanilla Cinnamon, Orange Ginger Raisin, Cacao Cherry and Berrylicious. It is a perfect addition to kefir or yogurt, mixed with your favorite milk and berries as a cereal, or as a quick, on-the-go snack.
