Crispy, crunchy, and high in protein.

I cant get enough.

The mere idea of heating the waffle iron on a weekday gives me anxiety.

With this in mind, I grabbedTrader Joes Peanut Butter Protein Granolawhile on a shopping trip months ago.

The rest is history.

Its my breakfast secret weapon, one I rely upon to keep me sane on busy weekday mornings.

Its super crunchy without being hard, making it very fun to eat.

Youll find a mix of larger clusters along with smaller pieces.

My husband doesnt usually eat granola (he doesnt like yogurt.

I still love him, but its hard), but he loves to snack on the clusters.

I actually prefer the smaller pieces to mix with yogurt, so it works out great.

The flavor is decidedly peanut buttery and lightly sweet.

I love that the granola isnt too sweetjust enough to make it a delicious counterpoint to tangy yogurt.

Toasted peanuts add extra crunch and more peanut flavor.

I dont notice it one bit in TJs granola, so its a nice nutritional bonus.

For a dessert-like snack, add chocolate chips or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
