The idea of 18 Rabbits started when the founder was young and growing up in Farmer’s Branch Texas. Her Mom would be in the kitchen making her homemade granola using oats, coconut, honey and nuts and the aroma would spread through the house. The kids would run outside to play with the pet rabbit, BlackJack. One day the kids ran off, leaving BlackJack behind and she met up with a wild rabbit across the fence and before they knew it BlackJack had a family of 18. The kids would play in the backyard that was hopping with rabbits and the air was filled with the smell of Mom’s granola and thus 18 Rabbits was born. The goal of 18 Rabbits is to provide food that offer real nourishment and enjoyment while surprising consumers with unique combinations of chocolate, various fruits and seeds.
18 Rabbits products are available in 4 different varieties with various flavor options, Granola, Granola Bars, Jr. Bars and Jr. Granola Cereal. We received a bag of the Veritas Granola which is filled with organic walnuts, hazelnuts , cacao nibs and flaxseeds which are a great source of fiber, protein and Omega-3. This granola has a slight sweetness to it and is great with virtually any fruit, toss in some yogurt or eat as cereal. 18 Rabbits recommends substituting Veritas Granola for the nuts in your favorite brownie recipe, something I definitely have to try.
Granola Bars are available in combinations such as Cherry, Dark Chocolate & Almond and Apricot, Walnut and Coconut, Date, Pecan & Coconut and Fig, Cranberry & Hazelnut. These Granola Bars are just the right combination of sweet and salty with the chewy texture you expect from a Granola Bar and they are jam packed with good for you protein and satisfy that snack craving we all know so well. The Jr. Bars get wild and crazy with combinations like Chocolate & Banana (My husbands favorite), Mango Strawberry and Cranberry Apricot. The Jr. Bars are slightly smaller than the Granola Bars, but they more than make up for it in big flavor with hearty chunks of banana and pumpkin, sunflower and chia seeds all to keep you going. The Jr. Granola Cereals are available in Chocolate Banana like the Jr. Bars and also Caramel Apple which contains real chunks of Granny Smith Apples, caramel and a little bit of sea salt to balance out the sweetness.
I love having granola and granola bars around the house that are great snacks for our family. On days when we go to our homeschool co-op or on field trips I always have a nutritious snack on hand that provides real energy, not that sugar crash that comes from junk food.
