Michele's Breakfast Nook Banana Bread Granola has officially earned award-winning status, and we couldn't be more excited to share the news!
What Is the EatingWell 2026 Food Award?
This is the inaugural year of EatingWell magazine's Food Awards, created to recognize "products make healthy eating easier and more delicious." Their editors and registered dietitians taste-tested hundreds of grocery products to seek out the very best over many months. In fact, more than 350 products launched in 2025 or early 2026 were evaluated, with 30 standout finds making the final list.
Michele's Breakfast Nook Banana Bread Granola has been recognized in the "Breakfast Booster" category, which honors exceptional breakfast products that deliver on taste and quality. We're proud to be the only granola cereal to earn this award!
What Makes Michele's Breakfast Nook Banana Bread Granola Special?
EatingWell's editors said it best: "Imagine your favorite banana bread transformed into crunchy oat clusters, and you've got this granola."
We created Breakfast Nook Banana Bread Granola to bring the warm, nostalgic flavors of this beloved breakfast classic to your bowl—no artificial ingredients added, and no bakery trip required. We hope you'll agree every cluster delivers that cozy, homemade banana bread taste in a craveable, crunchy granola.
A Milestone Worth Celebrating
When we created the Breakfast Nook line, our goal was simple: We wanted to bring the warmth and flavor of your favorite breakfasts into our fresh-baked granola! Inspired by cozy morning classics, we make every batch of granola by hand with simple, natural ingredients, crafting granola clusters with a variety of hearty whole grains, and a touch of sweetness.
Whether sprinkled over yogurt or oatmeal, paired with milk, or enjoyed straight from the bag, Michele’s Breakfast Nook turns every bite into a feel-good breakfast moment!
Being recognized by one of the most trusted names in food and nutrition media is a milestone that means the world to us. But even more meaningful is seeing how you've been enjoying this fresh new line!
