About Us
We are a mother-daughter duo who have seen firsthand how nutrition can transform health, and we believe the current food system is in dire need of a change. Enter Munchtime Granola.
Our journey began in 2024, four years after 18-year-old Helen was diagnosed with bone marrow failure, a condition that conventional medicine has no cure for. Determined to take control of her health, Helen turned to nutrition—and, against all odds, was able to put her condition into remission. This remarkable recovery is something doctors consider unheard of.
Our mission is to spread this message to our community by offering healthy, seed-based treats that feel like indulgence but are packed with nourishment for your body.
We prioritize traditional preparation methods to make our ingredients easier to digest and more nutrient-dense. Our products are made with exclusively organic ingredients, including raw and sprouted seeds, dried fruits, and cacao.
Helen is still on her healing journey and shares her experiences on Instagram at @cure.eated and @munchtimegranola.
Why Seeds?
Seeds are a superfood, but why? They are packed with essential fatty acids like linoleic acid (plant-based omega-6) and alpha-linolenic acid (plant-based omega-3). Our bodies can't produce these on their own, yet they are crucial for almost every function. That’s why getting the right amount and balance of these fatty acids in our diet is so important. At MunchTime, we’re here to help you achieve that balance!
The Best Source of Essential Fatty Acids
Minimally processed seeds are the best source of these essential fatty acids, which are vital for cellular health, brain function, inflammation regulation, heart health, and skin and hair health.
Preserving Nutritional Integrity and Avoiding Toxicity
It's vital to ensure that seeds are never heated to high temperatures, as this can damage their fragile fats, rendering them toxic. This is why seed oils are often advised against - they are highly processed. Our granola uses whole seeds to preserve their nutritional integrity.
A Rainbow of Whole Foods
It's also important to consume regeneratively raised, pasture-raised, and grass-fed animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy, which contain different fatty acids critical for human health. Eating a variety of whole foods is key to maintaining overall health.
Nutrient-Packed Goodness
Whole seeds are rich in fiber, minerals like zinc, and vitamin E. We spice them up with fun flavors using organic spices, dried fruit, nutrient-dense sweeteners, and sugar-free chocolate. Our granola supports all cellular functions, digestion, and reproductive health. We even offer a special seed cycling line for women.
Grain-Free and Nut-Free
We chose to go grain-free, differentiating us from most granola companies that use oats as a base. This ensures our granola is 100% gluten-free, lower in carbohydrates, and more nutrient-dense. Additionally, we are 100% nut-free (apart from coconut), catering to those with tree nut allergies.
We hope you enjoy our products as much as we enjoy creating them for you!
