Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters {Review & Giveaway}

Sharing is caring!

Have you heard of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters? They are bite sized little snack made up of select roasted nuts, whole grain oats and honey to create a wonderful blend of wholesome goodness. All ingredients are 100% natural and make a perfect snack for any nut lover!

My Blog Spark sent me all four varieties of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters: Honey Roasted Peanut, Roasted Cashew, Nut Lovers and Roasted Almond. I’ve always been a huge fan of peanuts and cashews so it is no surprise that the first two were my favorites! Although I’ve purchased many Nature Valley products in the past, I’m glad I got this opportunity to try them because I might not have otherwise. I really didn’t expect to like them so much. I love combination of the crunchy granola, salty nuts and the added touch of honey. Perfect for a snack in the late afternoon when I realize I should have eaten more for lunch but don’t want to stuff myself before dinner! 🙂

The only fault is you wouldn’t want to eat the whole bag which is made up of about 5 servings. With each serving having 140 calories and 7 grams of fat, it is probably a good idea to stick to the suggested serving size of 7 clusters. However, if you are going to spend the calories/fat, this is a great way to do it. With whole grain oats,  5 grams of protein and natural ingredients you needed feel guilty for eating empty calories!

    My favorite place is back home at my parents in East Texas – they have 17 acres and when I’m there I just relax, it’s so silent.

  31. Sandra says

    on my walks through the neighborhood. We live in the country so there is lots of wildlife.

  33. Jason Lawless says

    On our deck behind our house – we have a lot of woods, so it is a very secluded private place to enjoy the sounds of nature.

  34. Margaret Smith says

    My favorite is the beach. I love the relaxing feeling I get, while looking at the ocean. Thanks.

  35. Joannie says

    Walking on the beach at dawn or sunset. Awesome!! It helps that we live only 30 minutes from the ocean!

  36. Patti K says

    I love to connect with nature by sitting on the beach watching the seagulls and listening to the waves crash on the shore.

  37. Amber G says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is our local park! With the huge oak trees, it’s so comforting.

  39. Christine Jensen says

    My absolute favorite place is no longer available to me. My grandparents used to own a cabin in the woods near Tahoe in California. It was my absolute favorite place to go to escape the craziness of life and the world and enjoy the beauties of nature. It was neslted amongst beautiful trees, mountains and a river rushing right in front. It was perfect. Unfortunatly, due to financial concerns, it was sold two summers back. I will always miss that place. Now we head to the beautiful Wasatch Mountains here in Utah when we need to connect with the natural beauty surrounding us here in Utah.

  43. Pat says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is my home. It’s rural so deer, foxes and even the
    occasional mountain lion share my back yard. Rabbits munch the vegetation. A snake shows up once in a while and quickly squiggles away. It’s a blessing to live in such a beautiful place.

    Thank you for the contest.

  44. Bonnie W says

    My favorite nature place of all time is a YMCA Camp about an hour from me. I had a blast going there for a week every summer as a kid and also worked there for a whole summer after high school. I hope my boys will go also someday.

  48. Elena says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is out in the desert, where it looks like there’s not another person on the face of the earth. Thanks for the contest!

  51. jennifer says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is less than 1 hour from my house! There is a camp-ground there, and my family and I am there nearly every weekend! We love to camp, hike, fish and swim! We are practically the “local campers” as we know everyone around there, and can tell newbies where to go!

  58. KarenM says

    Out fishing, camping and hiking is my way connecting with nature

  62. Kristie says

    I like to connect with nature on my runs. I take in everything around me when I run-the animals (deer and geese lately), the leaves turning, the smells (sometimes not so nice ones!) and the sun setting. Nature is definitely beautiful and amazing! 🙂

  66. Emily R. says

    Being along on the beach first thing in the morning makes me feel very connected with nature.

  76. Rebecca Orr says

    My garden at home. It’s small, but I love seeing all the veges that are growing. I also have raspberry bushes, blackberry bushes, a pear tree, and a few grape vines. I love picking the fresh produce and sharing it with my family and friends. Thanks for the chance. [email protected]

  95. DebbieKL says

    We live in a rural area, so I enjoy going for hikes, snow shoeing and otherwise just being outside on a nice day. Thanks!

  99. Benita G. says

    My favorite place is in my own back yard. I live where I can see the the convergence of three rivers. The water is beautiful and soothing.

    It was “pre-baby” perched on the limb of a tree, now sedately sitting by the chimnea with autumn leaves swirling in the air and my son perched on my knee trying to catch them.

  107. Stephanie V says

    listening to waves at the beach and wind rustling through old, big trees

  125. Tamara B. says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is the beach, I love listening to sounds of the ocean’s waves.

  128. elizabeth p says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is the beach. Water relaxes me like nothing else!

  131. barbara wright says

    We have what our town calls a “greenway” right down the road. It’s a quiet paved trail that goes through the woods. I love walking down there and smelling and hearing nature. It’s so peaceful.

  136. Michele P. says

    I connect with nature during a walk in the Maine woods, we have several scenic spots that are perfect for a nature walk and picnic. Another place is at the Maine coastline.

    Well lately they’ve been real animals on twitter but usually I love a nice walk in the woods with the kids.

  158. Ann says

    Our favorite place to connect with nature is when we go to the beach. The sand, wind and water just have it all in one package! Thanks for the great giveaway!

  167. Gina says

    Our garden when we lived in Germany – lots of roses, fruit trees, and a beautiful willow!

  168. debi welbon says

    The back balcony of my house in Tn. I love watching the animals at the feeders and sometimes the deer that will come through the yard.

  184. Nancy says

    I am a backpacker so the mountains, but any beautiful country to walk through works for me.

  194. Aline says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Flume Gorge is just beautiful and so are the Appalachian Mountain trails and huts.

  196. Jill Myrick says

    There are so many great trails to walk and meditate on.
    Thank you so much for the chance to win.

  202. patricia says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is in the backyard. I love to sit there and watch the wildlife at play. Turkeys are hilarious because they horses run and snort at them.

  203. Gerrie S says

    I love to just sit outside in the swing. I swing and sing and enjoy the outdoors for hours like that.

  208. Chrystal says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is in the midst of a huge redwood forest. Those eternal giants fill me with awe!

  217. Jill L says

    It’s a state park near us called Caledonia. The streams are just beautiful and to go up into the mountains, well, it’s just so peaceful.

  221. kirsten h. says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is to go camping in one of our many state parks. It’s fun and a great time to do something with the kids.

  223. Michele C says

    Thank you for the giveaway. My favorite place to connect with nature is at the lake or beach! Sometimes, I’ll even just sit in my yard on a beautiful day in silence.

  227. Lindsey Safford says

    I go to a nearby park to connect with nature. The park is right by my house that I love to go to with my boyfriend and his daughter. They have alligators and turtles in the water. If we are really lucky then we can see the deer come get a drink of water at the pond.

  228. Pat says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is my back yard. Since it’s rural deer, squirrels and
    sometimes foxes visit. Hummingbirds flock to the feeder. Tall redwood trees stand sentry.
    Plum trees provide treats for feral animals in spring. The oak tree in the front yard drops acorns for them in fall.

    Thank you for the contest.

  239. S says

    My favorite place to connect with nature would be my back yard. Beautiful trees and flowers out there – it’s my oasis. I also enjoy our area parks and lakes.

  241. dianne says

    I have alot of trees and bushes in my yard and I love it back there. All kind sof nature liuves or visits me right in my own yard.

  243. Kimberly says

    I like to connect with nature in the backyard! That’s about as much as I can fit in. We have bird feeders and a bunny coloney to watch.

  249. JMARIE says

    I’m lucky enough to live near lots of great Forest Preserves & I love taking long walks around them

    Thanks

  260. L.D. says

    My favorite place to connect with nature is on Deer Lake in Washington State. Our family has a cabin there and it is the most beautiful place.

  272. katiea says

    I like to go to my in-laws house to connect with nature. They have 20 acres in the boonies (about an hour from our house) with a lake and forest. I take long walks or float in a canoe for a while sometime to relax. Thanks for the contest!

  280. ElV says

    My favorite place in nature is the white mountains of New Hampshire in the early fall when the leaves are changing and it’s crisp but not too cold.

  283. Joanne Schultz says
