Today we’d like to introduce you to Erika Benjamin.
Erika, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
My love of rich, delectable foods started to interfere with my desire to be healthy and fit significantly. I considered all the ingredients that I enjoyed in a snack, and embarked on a mission to create a treat that fulfills unhealthy cravings in a healthy way! Southern Girl Granola was the answer!
Being from the south, I understand the value of foods that are rich in flavor and texture. Unlike most granola, Southern Girl Granola is softer more flavorful and you will love it at 1st bite. Your mind and your mouth will think you’re enjoying a yummy candy bar. Southern Girl Granola is handcrafted in small batches in 4 nutrient packed flavors; Original (plain), Cranberry, Dark Chocolate Chip and Sweet Potato. Each is filled with superfoods like; oats, pumpkin seed, flax seed, almonds, fruits and vegetables. However, the main ingredient that sets Southern Girl Granola apart is LOVE!
I started sharing my granola with friends, family and people who attend my fitness classes throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area. They all enjoyed it so much; they placed orders regularly and encouraged me to take it to the next level. Since I had yet to find a person who didn’t love it, I decided to go for it! I have no doubt that Southern Girl Granola will be the BEST granola you’ve ever had! CBD and NUT FREE options are also available!
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?

Please tell us about the business.
Southern Girl Granola is a small batch, gourmet granola. It’s filled with super foods like; oats, pumpkin seed, flax seed, almonds, fruit and vegetables. I’m most proud that this is something that I create with my own hands and that so many people truly love it!! What’s sets me apart is that my granola isn’t hard and crunchy like most granola. It’s softer and more decadent!
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
I’d like to expand my menu to other healthy treats and operate a food truck. Ultimately owning a fleet of Southern Girl Granola food trucks.
