ENERGY FROM INSIDE AND ROBUST PROTECTION OUTSIDE

"A true friend is recognized in uncertain times." (Marcus Tullius Cicero). Natascha and Franz were certain long before I was that I should bring my version of granola to market. Before we actually took this step, we had already experienced a lot together. Memories that make me smile right now. And to this day, I still value the friendship, cheerful energy, and inspiration of this now five-member family – in both safe and uncertain times. ;-)

They themselves are the founders of a company called namuk, the first Swiss children's outdoor label. And here's what they think about 'Tiny Granola' today, almost a decade later:

What is your breakfast ritual?

Mostly wake up without an alarm sound.

Everyone quickly devours their porridge with applesauce at the table—and, of course, with granola on top. Very important…I (Natascha) distribute the granola especially carefully, because otherwise the container would be empty in no time, or worse, there would be a big fight in the morning over who had more granola in their bowl. :D Franz also gets a piece of toasted bread with cheese. It smells delicious and fits the morning mood. Not everyone is happy with the smell of cheese, however, so it can still cause arguments.

How do you like your granola, and which variety do you prefer? Oh, we'll take them all. ;-) I love it with oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, or various porridges. It's great for snacking, with a smoothie, or just by itself. In the summer, we've frozen it with ice cream or mixed it into fruit salad... the possibilities are endless! And if the kids are lucky (if I haven't hidden it well enough), they might just devour a large bowl of granola on its own.

Natascha: the hardworking and creative support in the background

Like parents, like children: close to nature, active and granola-loving ;-)

It is also enjoyed simply on its own.
