Well+Good offers suggestions to guide consumers in selecting nutritious granola. First, check the sugar and fat content. Granola should not exceed 8 grams of sugar or 2 to 3 grams of fat.

Lastly, look for healthy oils such as coconut or extra-virgin olive oil, and check the nutrition label for unnecessary additive ingredients.
