Product at a Glance
Brand: Trader Joe's | Product: Just the Clusters Vanilla Almond Granola | Net Qty: 16 oz (1 lb / 454g) | Serving: 2/3 cup (58g), ~8 servings | Dietary: Pareve | Allergens: Contains tree nuts (almonds) | Availability: Delivered to Your Door Across the U.S. and Canada via HIOOL GOODS
About This Granola
The concept is simple: just the clusters, nothing else. No loose oat crumbs, no powdery residue at the bottom of the bag — only large, solid baked oat-almond clusters throughout the entire 16 oz resealable pouch. The flavor is vanilla almond: natural vanilla baked into the clusters alongside sliced almonds and a light cane sugar and honey sweetness.
The vanilla is mild and clean — not artificial-tasting. It complements the toasted almond nuttiness without overpowering it. At 260 calories per 2/3 cup (58g) full serving or 130 calories per 1/3 cup (29g) snack portion, the pouch gives about 8 full servings. Pareve certified.
Key ingredients include rolled oats, cane sugar, expeller-pressed canola oil, almonds, rice flour, honey, cornstarch, and natural vanilla flavors. Contains tree nuts (almonds). Not labeled gluten-free.
Trader Joe’s does not sell products online. HIOOL GOODS is an independent reseller that sources authentic Trader Joe’s products from U.S. stores and delivers to customers across the U.S. and Canada.
