Trader Joe’s now carries more than 30 types of cereals, granolas, oats, and clusters. These are the highlights of my official taste test.

Just the Clusters Vanilla Almond Granola Cereal

Image Credit: Julian Montijo Not quite a granola, not quite a cereal. It’s sweet, vanilla-y, nutty, and delicious. It is everything I want in a cereal. [{ "selector": ".jpgcm-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-386px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".ujxbr-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 400.0000305175781px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Grainless Granola

Image Credit: Julian Montijo This granola has no grains in it at all. It pairs well with milk or non-dairy milk or yogurt, but it’s also equally good eaten dry as a snack. [{ "selector": ".efgcn-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 16px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Crunchy Cinnamon Squares

[{ "selector": ".wzerz-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(calc(600px - 53px))", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".momaa-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-557.5729064941406px)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Ginger Turmeric Granola

Image Credit: Julian Montijo The turmeric flavor is pretty subtle, but it works! It has a gingersnap-like taste and is highly enjoyable. The best part: It’s gluten-free! [{ "selector": ".ixizk-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 16px)) scale(0.15)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0px) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }]

Strawberry Yogurt O’s

[{ "selector": ".smoug-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "rotate(-580deg) scale(0.1)", "opacity": "1"}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "rotate(0deg) scale(1)", "opacity": "1"} ] }, { "selector": ".eemsp-a", "duration": "1500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "opacity": 0}, {"offset": 1, "opacity": "1"} ] }]
