Not all granola is created equal

Energy that lasts

Dates, nuts, and seeds release energy slowly — so you stay full and focused instead of hitting a wall an hour later. No refined sugar means no crash.

🌿

Good fats from real food

Walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds, and hemp seeds all bring plant-based omega-3s to the mix. Five types of nuts add healthy fats and protein. It's a lot going on in one bag.

🚫

Nothing you'd skip on a label

Coconut oil instead of canola. Dates instead of sugar. No preservatives, no seed oils, no artificial anything. Sixteen ingredients — all real, all pronounceable.

Every ingredient is one you'd recognize

Medjool dates Gluten-free rolled oats Coconut oil Almond butter Almonds Walnuts Pecans Cashews Pine nuts Hemp seeds Chia seeds Flaxseeds Sesame seeds Coconut flakes Cacao nibs Cinnamon

That's it. No preservatives. No refined sugar. No seed oils. No artificial anything.

More than just granola

Omega-3s

From four plant sources

Chia seeds, flaxseeds, hemp seeds, and walnuts each bring plant-based omega-3 fatty acids. Most granolas don't have any.

Cacao

A surprisingly good ingredient

Raw cacao nibs are packed with flavonoids, iron, and magnesium. They add a subtle depth of flavor and a genuine nutritional boost.

Low GI

Sweetened with dates, not sugar

Medjool dates have a lower glycemic index than refined sugar. Combined with fiber and healthy fats, they help keep your energy steady.

Fiber

From five whole foods

Oats, chia seeds, flaxseeds, dates, and cacao nibs — all naturally high in fiber, which helps with digestion and keeps you fuller for longer.

Protein

Nuts and seeds do the work

Five types of tree nuts plus hemp seeds — which happen to contain all nine essential amino acids. Not bad for a granola.

Minerals

Naturally nutrient-dense

Magnesium, potassium, iron, and zinc — all from real food, not fortification. That's what happens when you use 16 whole ingredients.

The family behind Nova Granola

Born in our kitchen, shared with yours

We couldn't find a granola that was nourishing enough to feel good about feeding our kids — and tasted good enough that they actually wanted to eat it.

It took a lot of batches. Different nuts, different ratios, different oven temperatures. Eventually we landed on something that disappeared from the pan as fast as we could bake it.

Friends started asking. Then friends of friends. So we started Nova Dreams LLC as our small way of sharing it — from our kitchen in Cary, North Carolina.

It disappears from the pantry

★★★★★
It has a really balanced flavor without being overly sweet and I love that it's a healthy option that my kids actually request. It's one of those simple, reliable things I always try to keep on hand.

★★★★★
It's so fresh, and you can really taste the care that goes into making it. We even bring a few bags whenever we visit family — they tell us it's the freshest granola they've ever had.
