Granola?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Am\u00e9lie is 25 years old, studied Management Engineering and is passionate about cooking and sustainable development. Although many signs could have predestined her to creating her own start-up, this wasn\u2019t exactly how Am\u00e9lie had envisioned her career\u2026 And, yet\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>A series of chance meetings&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s during an exchange in Argentina that Am\u00e9lie started creating her first granola blends. At the end of her studies, Am\u00e9lie traveled and helped in the kitchen of a Colombian permaculture farm, Mundo Nuevo in Minca. She had the opportunity to delight the volunteers with granola for breakfast (cooked with panela of course, in other words cane sugar, a Colombian specialty).<\/p>\n<p>Once she came back home to Belgium, Am\u00e9lie started working in the food industry. In September 2015, she filled a lunchbox dedicated to charity with some of her granola. From there, the first orders came flowing in. One thing led to another and Am\u00e9lie laid the basis for her trademark. Supported by her friends and family, she decided to take the plunge end of 2015.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The joy of tasty and gluten-free healthy food! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Her slogan is \u201cWhen healthy meets tasty&#8221;, as Am\u00e9lie\u2019s primary motivation is to inspire people to eat healthy, yet tasty and environmentally-friendly food.<\/p>\n<p>grEAT! granola is homemade Belgian organic &amp; gluten-free granola. It\u2019s a food product which claims to be equally healthy and delicious! Indeed, the granola is cooked 100% with coconut oil and maple\/agave syrup.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalani-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-02-at-10.42.58.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalani-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-02-at-10.42.58.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalani-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-02-at-10.42.50.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalani-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-02-at-10.42.50.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kalani-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-02-at-10.42.40.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kalani-home.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2017-06-02-at-10.42.40.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>3 different tastes :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>CHOCO&#8217;NUTZ :\u00a0Powerful mix of oats, buckwheat, hazelnuts &amp; dark chocolate.<\/li>\n<li>APPLE &amp; PECAN :\u00a0A delicious blend of oats, buckwheat, seeds, pecan &amp; dried apple &#8230; a touch of cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>RISE &amp; SHINE :\u00a0A mix of grains, seeds &amp; nuts topped with cranberries, poffed quinoa &amp; coconut chips.
