SALT LAKE CITY, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- NuTrail, the #1 no sugar added granola brand, today launched Protein Nut Granola — a line built for consumers who want real protein and real taste without the added sugar. Built around superior taste and texture, along with premium ingredients, the nationally available line delivers 15g of protein per serving from high protein whey and nature's nuts and seeds. Each variety is a good source of fiber, certified gluten free, and grain free— all with no sugar added.

The launch is anchored by NuTrail's new brand platform campaign: "Real Good. Feel Good." — a rallying call for consumers who refuse to choose between delicious taste and smart nutrition.

Making it Easier to Get Protein Without the Sugar Crash

Protein is no longer a priority just for fitness enthusiasts, it has gone mainstream and has become one of the dominant forces shaping what Americans put in their carts. Seventy percent of consumers are actively trying to eat more protein, according to the International Food Information Council (IFIC). With protein taking center stage, consumers are looking for new ways to get more protein in their diet, including breakfast and snacking occasions. For granola and ready-to-eat cereal shoppers, whey is the #1 preferred protein source with its complete amino acid profile and ease of digestibility — and 64% of granola shoppers are looking for 15 or more grams of protein per serving in their granola (Insite Pulse Custom Survey, September 2025). While consumers want more protein, they actively want less sugar with 75% of Americans striving to reduce their sugar intake (IFIC).

NuTrail's new Protein Nut Granola with no added sugar is built to meet that demand head-on — with a product that delivers on nutrition without compromising on the eating experience.

"One of the first things I look for is protein, because it plays a real role in helping people feel full and satisfied between meals. NuTrail Protein Nut Granola delivers 15g of protein per serving from whey, nuts, and seeds, which makes it a smart option for breakfast or a snack. What I appreciate is that it pairs that protein with no added sugar and only 1 to 3g of total sugar, so you get the staying power without the sugar rush." said Lauren Manaker MS, RDN, LD, CLEC, CPT.

Protein That Doesn't Compromise on Taste

NuTrail Protein Nut Granola is built around a simple but hard-to-execute premise: a protein granola that is genuinely delicious. Nuts and seeds are the first ingredients, paired with whey protein crisps and baked in butter, not seed oils, for a signature sweet and crunchy texture. Unlike the chalky, hard-textured protein granolas common in the category, NuTrail's recipe brings together premium ingredients and carefully developed flavors for an eating experience that stands on its own — no sugar required.

"Consumers have been asking for a protein granola that actually tastes good — sweet, crunchy, and satisfying — without all the sugar that typically comes with it," said Lauren Start, CMO of NuTrail. "NuTrail Protein Nut Granola is our answer to that. 15g high quality protein and no added sugar in every serving. We are launching this product with our new campaign - Real Good. Feel Good. — it's the promise we're making with every bag."

Meet the New Protein Nut Granola

The new Protein Nut Granola launches nationally in four varieties:

Vanilla Almond Protein — A classic blend of vanilla and almonds, paired with the satisfying crunch of whey protein crisps.

Honey Nut Protein — A golden-baked mix of premium nuts, seeds, and whey protein crisps, with rich nuttiness and the floral sweetness of honey flavor.

Triple Berry Protein — A crunchy blend of real freeze-dried blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries mixed with nuts, seeds, whey protein crisps, and a hint of vanilla.
