Trader Joe's Almond Butter Granola

Breakdown

Ultra-processed · 2 ingredients to avoid

Trader Joe's Almond Butter Granola scores 30/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Trader Joe's Almond Butter Granola lists 12 ingredients, starting with Rolled Oats, Almonds, Brown Rice Syrup, Cane Sugar and Almond Butter. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 30/100 Trader Joe's Almond Butter Granola scores worse than most granola & muesli we have scored. A higher-scoring option in granola & muesli is purely elizabeth. Organic Grain-Free Vanilla Almond Butter Granola at 100/100.
