Nature’s Path expands its Love Crunch granola with gluten-free offering
The product is made from organic whole‑grain rolled oats and velvety cashew butter, and each serving also offers 14g of whole grains.
CANADA – Nature’s Path, North America’s largest independent organic breakfast and snack food brand, has expanded its Love Crunch line with a new gluten-free Strawberry Cheesecake Granola, aiming to blend indulgent dessert flavours with clean-label ingredients for health-conscious shoppers.
The company announced the launch this week as part of a broader strategy to meet rising consumer demand for gluten-free options that do not sacrifice taste or texture.
Love Crunch Gluten Free Strawberry Cheesecake blends sweet strawberry notes and tangy cheesecake flavor with an irresistible crunch, making it a delicious choice for gluten-free eaters and granola fans.
Each serving also offers 14g of whole grains.
Made from organic whole‑grain rolled oats and velvety cashew butter, these irresistible crunchy clusters are crowned with Fair Trade white‑chocolate chunks and sweet strawberry pieces for a decadent finish.
Positioned for both breakfast and snacking occasions, the Strawberry Cheesecake Granola is formulated to deliver a balance of sweetness and crunch without artificial colours, flavours, or preservatives, thereby maintaining the brand’s commitment to organic sourcing and non-GMO ingredients.
“Our new Love Crunch Gluten Free Strawberry Cheesecake is the most delicious gluten-free granola offering on the market. It combines real organic ingredients and meets the needs of a gluten-free lifestyle without compromising taste,” said Arjan Stephens, president of Nature’s Path.
“This launch is all about making delicious, organic food accessible to everyone.”
Nature’s Path said the recipe was developed after extensive consumer testing, which indicated that shoppers wanted dessert-inspired cereals that could serve as both a treat and a pantry staple.
The product is available on the Nature’s Path and Walmart websites, as well as in select retailers across North America, with international distribution planned for later in the year.
Marketing for the launch emphasizes versatility: the granola can be enjoyed with milk or yogurt, sprinkled over fruit, or eaten straight from the bag as a portable snack.
Packaging highlights the gluten-free certification and organic ingredients, and the company plans in-store sampling and digital campaigns to introduce the flavor to new customers.
Nature’s Path also noted that the product aligns with its sustainability goals, as it uses recyclable packaging materials and sources key ingredients from certified organic suppliers.
While gluten-free options were once confined to speciality aisles, they have become a fixture on supermarket shelves as more shoppers seek alternatives for dietary reasons or personal preference.
With this launch, Nature’s Path continues to expand its Love Crunch portfolio, reinforcing its position in the competitive granola segment while offering a new option for those who want a cheesecake-inspired treat without gluten.
