Yum Granola

I am really excited to introduce a new line of breakfasts for the outdoor market, Bushline Breakfast by Yum Granola. As a family who lives for our outdoor adventures, we saw the need for a delicious, nutrient-dense solution that cares for our planet with a lighter footprint. The world does not need more single-use 'forever' plastic packaging and we were confident we could come up with a breakfast solution that didn't require the packaging to be the bowl. As most of you know, when something is meant to happen, it happens. Our idea for this had been there for a few years but that time for Bushline Breakfast is now. With only a couple of months before our (self-declared) deadline of the Outdoor Expo in Christchurch to trial the products, we created and finalized the recipes, created all the assets, decided on the format for the packaging, the list goes on, incorporating the feedback of key retail partners and our outdoor enthusiast friends along the way. On the packaging front, we partnered with @embersustainablepackaging for a NZ-made, sustainable, home compostable solution that will help reduce plastics in this space. Working with them was incredible and we love the finished product. Our very own Michael Cowlin worked his design magic in an extremely limited amount of time for an outstanding outcome. The result is Bushline Breakfast, our new range of single-serve, instant, sustaining breakfasts that taste and feel amazing. They are nutrient-dense, made to fuel adventures, backcountry missions or long days finding your bliss (they are also incredible for a convenience brekkie but don't tell anyone).   Bushline Breakfasts are: Instant (just mix with water) Gluten-free, dairy-free & vegan-friendly 19g plant-based protein per pack Energy & nutrient dense (500+ kcal) No added sugar Made with clean, whole-food ingredients No preservatives, numbers or sulfites Packed in a single-serve, 110g home-compostable sachet More info Yum Granola website.

I'm excited and proud that our Yum Granola Hāwea Honeycomb Granola has been selected as a Finalist for the @cuisinemagazine Artisan category of the prestigious @newzealandfoodawards. Last year, @lakehaweastation approached us to create a granola, as a collaboration that reflected our aligned values and the desire to have our food more authentically reflect Aotearoa. One of the best days I've had in a kitchen was when Hana Kirk and I made this granola for the first time! We were excited about the project but when we decided to use all New Zealand-grown ingredients, in addition to the special ingredients from Lake Hawea Station, our excitement was next level. Taking it a step further, we wanted the most 'sustainable' packaging solution. But what does that look like these days? For us, it meant the least amount of plastic used, sourced from Aotearoa (this is rare as most come from overseas). We partnered with @econicpackaging for a solution we could be proud of. The result is a 100% New Zealand product that has true provenance. Aside from it tasting incredible with its caramelized nutty clusters, it proves innovation can happen by leading with solutions that can foster change. Our food should reflect Aotearoa and this granola does that. Thank you to everyone who has supported us with this project. We salut you! "We hope it speaks of the wild mountains and azure lakes of Te Waipounamu and the aroha we all feel for our Earth". #newzealandgrown #yumgranola #aotearoa #wholefoodsolutions #carbonfriendly #sustainablebreakfast

Nearly 10 years in on this Yum Granola journey and I still get excited about a new granola... Introducing a very special collaboration between Yum and Lake Hāwea Station-- The Hāwea Honeycomb Granola. This granola takes localized food procurement and production to a new level. With 100% of its ingredients grown in Aotearoa, the caramelized nutty clusters highlight Lake Hāwea Station's artisanal honey and bee pollen, South Island-grown oats, Nelson gala apples, Canterbury walnuts, and a touch of Marlborough sea salt for the perfect balance of flavors. We believe in provenance and this granola truly is a reflection of its beautiful, New Zealand-grown ingredients. We hope it speaks of the wild mountains and azure lakes of Te Waipounamu and the aroha we feel for our Earth. This limited run is available only online from our Yum Granola website, Moore Wilson & Co. Limited stores in Wellington, and Lake Hawea Station.
