We’re feeling just a tad excited about our new Happy Gut Granola. Made with 11 different super grains, nuts, seeds and fruit (the pre-biotics) and a natural, science-backed probiotic, we want to help people to achieve a diet that’s rich in fibre and variety for a healthy gut, body and mind. We are fascinated by the subject of gut health and all the scientifically proven ways to maintain or improve our own microbiomes. For this blog post, we chat to clinical Nutritionist and Naturopath, Lauren Windas about intuitive eating and how this can contribute to not only a happier gut, but also an impro ..read more

We’ve just launched recyclable inner lining packaging. We wanted to share the reason we've made this decision and the process we've taken to get here... We made the decision in late 2019 to switch out our plastic internal packaging for our granolas to a fully home compostable version. It was both the easiest and the hardest decision to make. Easiest as it was clearly (at the time) the right thing to do. Hardest because our new packaging was going to cost us around 8x more than previously. When every penny counts as a challenger brand that is a very BIG decision. That said, we did it because it ..read more

Since we first started Spoon, we have observed a lot of different morning routines. Routines in the past year have changed a lot but for most people the earliest hours of the day are a time when a routine is either required or desired. A way to set the rest of the day up or simply to get done what needs to get done.  We are always curious what the mornings of others entail. So we decided to ask.  For this feature, we share the morning habits of Nutritional Therapist and Yoga teacher Libby Limon, who aims to bring wellness and balance to every aspect of lifestyle, including food, trav ..read more

  Our mood affects how and what we eat and, in turn, the food we eat has an impact on our state of mind. That’s why there is an important relationship between self-care and healthy eating. When we are tired and stressed, we are more likely to turn to quick-fix foods such as carbs and sugar for instant energy. Some people also see food as a source of comfort or use it as a ‘reward’ after a difficult day. However, the types of foods that are high in refined sugar and refined carbohydrates can make us feel much worse later on. Even though they give us that initial boost of energy, they can ..read more

If you’re new to the subject of gut health, let us start by saying that the scientific research and studies are all relatively new, but the findings are pretty groundbreaking.  We’re all familiar with probiotics or ‘friendly bacteria’ often found in yoghurt drinks. But we wanted to shed some light on why probiotics are key to maintaining gut balance and how they can contribute to a healthy immune system.  What is gut health? Good gut health is so much more than just having regular bowel movements! According to Dan Peterson, assistant professor of pathology at the Johns Hopkins Univ ..read more

Having any leftover granola is a rare occasion because it’s so delicious. However, we know that there may come a point when you’re left with just too small a portion for breakfast! If that’s the case, there are all sorts of other ways to get creative with this cereal. If you’re asking yourself what to do with your leftover granola, we’ve got a few ideas for you. USE IT TO TOP AN APPLE CRUMBLE Apple crumble is a national favourite for a reason - it’s sweet, comforting and delicious.

In her own words a “chef and food sustainability advocate.” We would add to that an inspiration ..read more

YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT QUITTING YOUR JOB AND YOUR COMFORTABLE SALARY TO START SOMETHING THAT YOU GENUINELY CARE ABOUT. YOU KEEP HEARING THE PHRASES: ‘FIND YOUR PASSION” OR “DO WHAT YOU LOVE - THE NUMBER ONE RULE IN BUSINESS”. BUT WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PASSION? WHAT IF YOU’RE STILL SEARCHING FOR THAT BIG IDEA? If I could offer you one piece of advice, chances are you’re overthinking it. Have you ever thought that maybe that ‘big idea’ is staring you right in the face already? The idea for Spoon came to me whilst eating my morning bowl of cereal at work. Wouldn’t it be cool to make break ..read more
