After today’s run I decided to give Runner’s Granola a try!
This granola is hand-made in Omaha, Nebraska by a local runner who decided to create the perfect post-run snack.
The granola has approximately a 4:1 carb to protein ratio to aid post-run recovery, however athletes of all kinds can appreciate it. I thought it was stange that the calories were not listed on the Nutrition Label.
Runner’s Granola is made of a mix of hearty ingredients including rye flakes, whole soybeans, cornmeal, rolled oats, wheat germ, and sunflower seeds. The unique spicy, dark roasted flavor is unusual and kind of turned me off at first since I am used to sweeter granola. It wasn’t necessarily my favorite granola, but it sure did the trick for my post-run hunger! I don’t think Runner’s Granola is sold anywhere but in local grocery stores and coffee shops in Omaha, but I am sure it will be up for sale soon on their website!
