Go On Nutrition Protein Granola Brownie & Cherry pairs cocoa with freeze-dried cherries in a 300 g bag of whole grain oat clusters — 11 g of protein and a substantial 9 g of fibre in a 50 g bowl, with no added sugars.

In short: Protein Granola Brownie & Cherry puts 11 g of protein and 9 g of fibre in a 50 g bowl with no added sugars. Protein Granola Brownie & Cherry is the lighter of the two Go On granolas and the higher-fibre one.

What is in Go On Protein Granola Brownie & Cherry

Whole grain oat flakes lead the recipe at 26.6%, backed by oat bran and soluble corn fibre — which is how one bowl reaches 9 g of fibre, roughly a third of a day’s intake in a single sitting. Wheat gluten and wheat flour add structure and protein, chocolate makes up 3.5%, and freeze-dried cherries at 1% give the sharp fruit note that cuts the cocoa. Sweetening is handled by maltitol and sucralose, so the 1.1 g of sugars per serving is naturally occurring rather than added.

How to use it

Serve 50 g with milk or plant milk, or over yoghurt where the cherry works especially well. It is dry enough to eat by the handful as a snack and sturdy enough to crumble over stewed fruit or a smoothie bowl. Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Nine grams of fibre in one bowl

Most adults fall well short of the 25–30 g of fibre a day that dietary guidelines point to, and breakfast is the easiest meal to fix it in. Between the oat flakes, the oat bran and the soluble corn fibre, a single 50 g bowl covers around a third of the target — and it does so without the sugar that usually rides along in a chocolate cereal. It is also the lighter of the two granolas in this range: 6.5 g of fat per serving against 9.5 g in the Peanut Butter & Chocolate version.

Who is it for?

Anyone who wants a chocolate breakfast that is not a sugar delivery system, and anyone deliberately pushing their fibre intake up. Maltitol is a polyol, so stick to the 50 g serving until you know how you get on with it. Pair it with the Go On 100% Crunchy Peanut Butter for a fuller breakfast.
