Step Aside, Granola — Clusters Are Breaking the Mold

Granola has been a pantry staple for generations, adorning fresh fruit, yogurt bowls, and baked treats. But are you ready for a twist on this much-loved classic? Made for the modern snacker, Nature's Garden's Clusters reimagines the goodness of granola — nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and oats — into fun, handheld bundles.

Discover how our tasty cluster snacks keep you nourished and fueled with less fuss than the original.

What Are Nature's Garden's Clusters?

Nature's Garden's Clusters take your favorite wholesome ingredients and transform them into portable, good-for-you snacks. There's no "I" in cluster — just hearty oats, savory nuts, nutritious seeds, and chewy fruit teaming up to form the perfect, all-in-one snack squad. 

Savor a cluster any time of day. If you like granola in the morning, enjoy a cluster with yogurt and fruit. Grab one as fuel before the gym or to fend off an afternoon slump. You'll be the coolest parent around when you whip out a bag of clusters at a playdate or as a special post-dinner treat. 

Every chunk of goodness is packed with nutrients and flavor. We've crafted our clusters to fit every snack vibe:

  • Love a freshly baked pastry but want a more healthful take? Try our Blueberry Muffin Clusters for a home-style treat. They're loaded with tangy dried blueberries, almonds, cashews, oats, and chia seeds.
  • French Vanilla Clusters are like a glamorous get-together. Cashews, almonds, dried cherries, pecans, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds, and oats mingle playfully in a warm, vanilla embrace.
  • Taking snacking seriously? Peanut Crunch Clusters call up the heavy hitters. Mini pretzels join the crew, working hard with peanuts, almonds, and pecans to deliver crunchy and oh-so-satisfying bites.

Are Cluster Snacks Healthy?

But wait, you might be saying. Granola can be healthy, so why swap what's tried and true for a newfangled snack? If you're hesitant to jump on the cluster train, rest assured that Nature's Garden's Clusters offer many of the same nutritional facts as granola. You're still getting powerful nutrients that help your body function at its best.

Protein-Packed for Fuel

With plenty of cashews, almonds, pecans, and peanuts, Nature's Garden's Clusters deliver 3 to 4 grams of protein in every serving. Protein is an essential macronutrient that helps keep you energized and satisfied, especially for post-workout recovery.

Fiber-Rich to Enhance Digestion

With oats, nuts, and dried fruit contributing 2 grams of fiber per serving, our cluster snacks contain 7% of the Daily Value. Fiber is important for:

  • Maintaining a healthy balance of microorganisms in your gut, which can enhance overall health and well-being.
  • Keeping your digestive system in tip-top shape so your body can break down the foods you eat and absorb key nutrients. 
  • Helping you stay full longer to maintain your energy and prevent overeating.

Antioxidants to Reduce Inflammation

Plant-based foods are rich in antioxidants, which balance out harmful free radicals and help prevent oxidative stress and cell damage. Many ingredients in our cluster snacks step up to deliver these important protective compounds:

  • Fruit, such as the blueberries in our Blueberry Muffin Clusters and tart cherries in our French Vanilla Clusters, is a go-to source of antioxidants. 
  • Oats are one of the only sources of avenanthramides, which are shown to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
  • Nuts — especially pecans — which are in Peanut Crunch Clusters, are also full of these health-boosting nutrients, so you win no matter which flavor of clusters you choose. 

How Clusters Outshine Granola

With Nature's Garden Clusters, you can trust the quality of your snacks. We use clean, non-GMO ingredients with no artificial colors or flavors. Our clusters are also gluten-free and Kosher-certified.

No Spoon Needed

One of the biggest advantages of clusters over granola is that you can enjoy your favorite nuts, seeds, fruit, and oats with less hassle. You don't need a bowl and spoon. Just grab a cluster and bite in for big-time flavor and crunch.

Clusters are compact and portable, and ready to eat by hand. Tuck a couple of clusters into a container for school, work, or the gym. Bring a whole bag on a hike and share it with friends. 

Dial Up the Flavor and Fun

Sometimes, snacking feels predictable. Granola bar? Cookie? Muffin? Yawn. Cluster snacks don't hold back. They ooze with personality and bring boldness back to snacking.

We formulate every recipe with care. Tangy pieces of fruit here, buttery almonds or pecans there. You get chewy, savory, and crunchy flavor sensations all in one. There's so much going on in a cluster, mindful snacking is a breeze. You can pause and experience the complex taste and texture of every bite.

Does the cluster flavor affect the health benefits?

Each flavor of Nature's Garden's Clusters has a similar nutritional profile and health benefits. The Blueberry Muffin Clusters contain slightly more calcium per serving (50 mg) compared to the French Vanilla (20 mg) and Peanut Crunch (30 mg). Otherwise, you're getting similar amounts of dietary fiber, protein, iron, and potassium no matter which flavor you crave.

What are some ways I can use Nature's Garden's Clusters?

Clusters are crafted for eating right out of the bag, but there are many ways to enjoy them. Pair them with fresh fruit and cottage cheese. Crumble them over a smoothie bowl. Use them as a topping for ice cream or frozen yogurt. Set them on a charcuterie board with meats, cheese, and veggies. The possibilities are endless.
