We Give 'Em Something to Talk About!
"I like the great taste of Michaelene's Gourmet Granola and all the useful eating purposes of it. My favorite flavor is Cappuccino Crunch TM because the coffee bean flavor is delicious -- granola & caffeine all in one! We must have been among your first customers, fifteen years ago. When my daughter attended University of Michigan, we used to bring your granola from Ann Arbor home to Cleveland, in brown paper bags. We used to smuggle it into Europe during our years there. They have health food stores around London, but your product would blow them away. Glad to see that such a good product has achieved commercial success. Anyone who samples it at our house always asks for more."

What Longtime Customers Have to Say About Michaelene's Gourmet Granola
Store Owners
"Our store has been selling Michaelene's Gourmet Granola for several years. Michaelene's Gourmet Granola is tasty and all natural. It's important to us and our customers to sell natural foods, and Michaelene's does not contain preservatives."
"Michaelene's granola is very flavorful, natural and not salty, which is especially important since her granola contains a lot of nuts. We enjoy it very much and like to use it in our gift baskets because it blends well with our other products."
"My wife eats Michaelene's every morning as a part of her breakfast!"

Health Professionals
"Michaelene's granola is a wonderful, healthy, filling, comfort food. Its main ingredient is whole grains, which is being stressed in all healthy eating now. I eat it for breakfast, and I usually have some before I go to bed. Sometimes I even eat it for dinner. It tastes great with milk or mixed yogurt. I also sprinkle it on ice cream."
"There have been a few times I have run out of Michaelene's granola before re-ordering and have bought other products. They just can't compare! I now order when I still have a few bags left so that I don't run out."
"Anyone who knows Michaelene knows what an earth mother she is and how she keeps trying new ingredients and maintains high quality ingredients at all times. She loves to take care of people both physically and spiritually. I can't think of a better combination for a full and happy life. Carry on Michaelene!!"

Families
"My family has been eating Michaelene's granola for at least 15 years. My husband, who is an anesthesiologist at a busy hospital, eats it every single day in his lunch. He can't make it through the day without Michaelene's granola!"
"We've tried other granolas, and they were too sweet and sticky-too much like sugared cereals. Michaelene's is the perfect granola, wholesome and delicious. My husband puts it in his protein drink, and we think it's awesome on ice cream!"
"Michaelene uses the finest ingredients, and every batch is done by hand, and it really tastes that way. There isn't a price we wouldn't pay to eat Michaelene's granola."
"When I know I'm running low on Michaelene's granola, I get panic attacks. I go crazy without Michaelene's granola!"
Gina Walker,
Orchard Lake, MI
Athletes
"I eat Michaelene's granola as a quick snack between strength trainings. It's healthy and doesn't contain any refined sugar. As an athlete, food with refined sugar is like a fire to tissue paper; it doesn't last long. Michaelene's granola definitely satisfies my hunger."
"I've tried other granolas and Michaelene's is just far and above the competition. What sets her products apart from others is its high quality. All of the high quality ingredients she uses brings out the best flavors. It's awesome!"
