In this episode, we are joined by Jonny Shimmin, one of the Co-Founders of Spoon Granola. Jonny provides a glimpse into mornings at the Shimmin household, the experience of raising two young boys, and the story behind the founding of Spoon Granola.

We delve into the origins of Spoon Granola, reminiscing about its early days and exploring what the future holds for the brand.

Georgia and Jonny enjoyed a delicious PB&J Chia Pudding topped with Spoon's Almond Butter and Apple Granola while discussing how context influences the perfect breakfast. For instance, papaya with fresh lime feels very different when enjoyed on a beach in Thailand compared to a Monday morning in a London flat!

The recipe for the Chia Pudding is:

Per person:

2 Tbsp Chia Seeds

2 Tbsp Coconut Yoghurt

125ml Coconut milk

1 Tbsp Raspberry Jam

1 Tbsp Peanut Butter

Layer it on top of each other and top it with granola and raspberries

In this episode we discuss the following:

• Jonny's morning routine
• Jonny's non-negotiables
• Jonny's go-to breakfast in the morning
• His favourite Spoon Granola
• What to look for when you're choosing a granola as a consumer
• Where the idea for Spoon Granola came from
• The biggest challenges in running Spoon Granola
• Jonny's career before Spoon
• Corporate vs Founder
• The future of Spoon
