Granola, with a bean squeezed in
Grabeanola is granola with a real bean squeezed in: garbanzo, cannellini, black bean or red lentil. All the crunch you came for, plus the protein and fiber regular granola never got around to.
The trouble with granola
It kept the hiking boots and the health halo. But look in the bowl: mostly oats and sweetener, a crunchy carb load that tastes great at eight and has left the building by ten.
We weren't about to give up granola. So we gave it a job. We took the hardest-working thing in the pantry, the bean, and squeezed it right into the mix.
GrabeanolaWhat the bean brings
Beans are one of the great plant proteins. We put them where protein has been missing for years: the cereal bowl.
The slow, steady kind. It's the reason a bowl of Grabeanola sticks around instead of bailing mid-morning.
The one thing we refused to trade. Toasty, loud and properly crunchy, the way granola is supposed to be.
The lineup
One for the sweet tooth, one for the fruit-and-cream crowd, one for the savory breakfast people and one for the classicist. Pick by palate.
No. 01 · Garbanzo bean
For the cookie-jar raider.
Garbanzos are naturally nutty and golden, so we leaned in: peanut butter all the way through and chocolate chips in every handful. It eats like the best corner of a peanut butter cookie. The difference is it's built on beans, so this bowl actually takes you somewhere.

Best with
Cold milk, sliced banana, or straight out of the bag.
No. 02 · Cannellini bean
For the fruit-and-cream crowd.
Cannellini are the mildest, creamiest bean in the pantry, which makes them the perfect canvas. Bright strawberry up front, soft vanilla right behind it, toasted almond crunch the whole way through. Think strawberries and cream that finally got its life together.
Tastes like
Best with
Yogurt, cold milk, or a handful on your way out the door.
No. 03 · Black bean
For the savory breakfast people.
The one that isn't sweet first. Earthy black beans, toasted sesame and a hit of miso make a salty-sweet, deeply savory crunch. It's as good on yogurt as it is on avocado toast, a rice bowl or a salad. Umami for breakfast sounds strange for exactly one handful.

Best with
Yogurt, avocado toast, rice bowls and salads.
No. 04 · Red lentil
For the classicist.
The cozy one. Red lentils keep things light and crisp, maple brings the warmth and buttery pecans do what pecans do. It's the maple pecan granola you grew up on, rebuilt around a lentil so it lands as breakfast again instead of dessert.
Tastes like
Best with
Warm milk, oatmeal, or baked apples.
Our story
Granola started out as health food. Then it got comfortable. A little more syrup here, a few more chocolate chunks there, and somewhere along the way the healthy breakfast turned into dessert with good PR.
We love granola too much to leave it like that. And we couldn't stop thinking about beans: humble, hardworking and full of the protein and fiber granola kept promising.
So we did the obvious, slightly unhinged thing and squeezed the bean into the granola. Garbanzo, cannellini, black bean and red lentil. Four beans, four flavors and one very crunchy idea.
That's Grabeanola. It's right there in the name: look closely and you'll find a bean, wedged in exactly where it belongs.
Breakfast should carry you, not crash you.
