Bear Naked Launches Pumpkin Spice and Pecan Pie Granola

Press Release Sep. 27, 2018 at 9:00 AM

SOLANA BEACH, Calif. — Bear Naked announces the release of two new seasonal granola flavors — Pumpkin Spice and Pecan Pie — in time to celebrate the official first day of fall this Saturday, September 22. Crafted with whole grains, honey, spices, nuts and other simple ingredients, these granolas bring to life the warm nostalgic feelings associated with the changing seasons and are available in two distinct flavors:

Bear Naked Pumpkin Spice Granola: Slow-baked with cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, pumpkin seeds and white chocolate to create an elevated pumpkin pie experience, this granola is the perfect addition to your favorite fall morning routine.
Bear Naked Pecan Pie Granola: A deconstructed southern favorite carefully crafted with glazed praline pecans, maple syrup, cinnamon, caramel and bits of piecrust brings that nostalgic holiday staple to every spoonful.

“Americans spent $488.7 million on pumpkin spice-flavored foods within the last year according to Nielsen and we know Bear Naked fans are always looking for new food experiences, so it was only natural for us to give unique take on classic favorites,” said Jason Moraff, Associate Director of Marketing at Bear Naked. “With that insight and inspiration in mind, we reimagined the familiar flavor profiles of pumpkin and pecan pie, incorporating white chocolate chips and caramel pieces in our granola to mimic the creaminess that you get when eating pie a la mode.”

Each granola is Non-GMO Project Verified and delivers diverse plant-based nutrition – including 2g of fiber, up to 6g of protein and 7g of sugar or less. These seasonal flavors are available now for a limited time only at Target, Walmart, Kroger, and Amazon Fresh.
