A nutrient-dense granola created especially for pregnancy, postpartum and busy motherhood.

Mama Granola is packed with wholegrain oats, nuts, seeds and dried fruit to provide a naturally rich source of magnesium, iron, zinc, fibre, plant-based omega-3 fats and protein.

Each ingredient has been chosen with maternal nutrition in mind, from iron and zinc-rich pepitas and hemp seeds, to omega-3-rich chia and walnuts, magnesium-rich oats and seeds, and a mix of dried fruits for fibre, potassium and plant compounds.

Per 100 g serve, approximately:

15.2 g protein
9.7 g fibre
5.2 mg iron
228 mg magnesium
3.6 mg zinc
~3 g plant-based omega-3 ALA

The best part? Mama Granola isn't trying to be everything.

Pair it with Greek yoghurt, kiwi and fresh berries, and you've added protein, calcium, iodine, vitamin B12 and vitamin C, with the vitamin C helping to support the absorption of the plant-based iron in the granola.

It's a simple way to make breakfast work a little harder nutritionally during seasons when your body is working hard.
