Our Granolas are made from organic oats along with other superfoods and are a perfect grain blend of long lasting energy. Try combining our granola with some yoghurt or use them as a porridge topping.

We keep our products low in sugar and only sweeten with agave nectar when necessary. Why not try our Cashew Cookie or Pistachio Gelato Nut Butters, borth containing no added sweetness at all...!
