The Neutral Nelly, which I considered the plain version, had a perfect amount of sweetness and was delicious by itself, right out of the bag.<\/p>\n<p>The Spiced Paradise contained cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, cardamom and ginger, a combination that made for a wonderful and tasty blend of spices that jazzed up the granola. It paired nicely with Greek yogurt.<\/p>\n<p>I also liked the Banana Pudding flavor. It had a wonderful aroma and reminded me of eating banana chips.<\/p>\n<p>Coco Mango, Sweet Potato Casserole and Purple Grain Sweet Potato Casserole are the other variations.<\/p>\n<p>Each one-third cup serving contains 130 calories, 7 g. of fat, 15 g. of carbs and 3 g. of protein.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase Soul Grain on its website and on Amazon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Photo by Soul Grain<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soul Grain is a granola that uses the vibrant spices and seasonings of the Black Diaspora, and I accepted an offer to try it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9402,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172],"tags":[348],"class_list":["post-9400","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-and-beverage","tag-granola"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9400","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9400"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9400\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9405,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9400\/revisions\/9405"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/9402"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9400"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9400"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9400"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
