Frequently Asked Questions

Both are the same basic product – each contains 28 delicious, nutritious and healthy products.

However in a “nutshell” the LITE version contains a lesser quantity and variety of fruit and a greater quantity and variety of grains and seeds. Additionally the LITE product has a lesser quantity of nuts and no honey nor maple syrup in the toasting mix.

Granpa BB’s Original appeals to those who seek a nutritious, very healthy muesli that is full of flavour.

• It is the more popular of my two products at the present time.

Granpa BB’s LITE appeals to those who seek a tasty nutritious and a very, very healthy muesli.

NOTE:  LITE remains the only muesli in New Zealand to gain the Heart Foundation Two Ticks of approval for its unique, healthy composition.

Yes – If you wish to sample my muesli before buying you are welcome to come along to the Clevedon Farmers’ Market in South Auckland each Sunday between 8.30am and 1.00pm where I operate a stall.  This outlet is the only direct selling point for my muesli.

Each Sunday I offer samples of Original and LITE and also provide a sample of Original made into a bircher muesli – creamy and real yummy – see my bircher recipe set out in a question below.

The truthful answer to this question is both “yes” and “no”.  Plainly my product is more expensive than ‘bulk bin’ or mass produced type mueslis. But equally plainly it is far better quality than those products.

In comparison to other good quality mueslis on offer my muesli is fully price competitive.

Example:  Many top end mueslis are sold in supermarkets in 350g or 400g packs for between $14.00-18.00 a pack. This equates to a price range of $40.00-50.00/kg. My 1kg pack sells at $30.00 – courier delivered to your door! So to buy a 1kg pack is more of an outlay – but plainly it will last longer than a supermarket 350-400g pack and substantially better value is achieved.

To return to the question, if one compares “apples” with “apples” then my muesli is substantially cheaper than other quality mueslis.

Absolutely – for both Original and LITE.  Because my muesli has only been lightly toasted the cereals will absorb the liquid of the milk or fruit juice or other liquid that you use to soak the “raw” muesli in for a few hours or overnight.

My Recipe

1. Mix half a cup of Granpa BB’s with half a cup of any liquid – milk, soy milk, coconut water, fruit juice – I use apple juice.
2. Place the mixture in the fridge for a few hours – or overnight.
3. In the morning grate one quarter of a crisp apple – Granny Smith is a great choice.
4. Also in morning – mix in a few spoonful’s of your favourite yoghurt – flavoured or unflavoured – your choice.
5. Additionally (it’s your choice) you can add a few pieces of fruit such as strawberry, pear, kiwifruit, blueberries – whatever you like or is about …………..

Notes:-

1. The above recipe is for a single serve only.
2. If you are preparing for two persons then you would double the quantities – and so on depending on the number of servings and their size!
3. No need to make a batch every day. Start at beginning of the week. The batch will last as long as milk/juice will stay healthy in the fridge BUT add the grated apple, yoghurt and/or fruit each day before serving!

Yes – Definitely.

You can make the best smoothie in New Zealand

Recipe

• ½ cup (approx..50gm) of Granpa BB’s.–Original or LITE
• 1 cup of liquid – milk (any sort) or fruit juice (your choice), or almond or soy milk, coconut water etc.
• A few spoons of any fruit – cut into chunks. Banana, kiwifruit, apple, pear are great choices.

• A couple of spoons of yoghurt – either flavoured or plain – your choice.
• 4-5 small ice blocks – gives a great “chilled” effect – but ice is not essential.

Place all ingredients in a Nutribullet or similar machine.

• “Whizz” for about 20 seconds.

DRINK UP –   you have made the most delicious and healthy smoothie available in New Zealand – all for about $2.00.

No – I have made the conscious decision not to sell my muesli through shops and/or supermarkets.

Reasons:-

• The added cost to you the consumer (and the “inevitably” disounted payment to me the producer) make this method of selling “less than highly attractive”.
• I want to retain the direct contact between me as producer and you as consumer at all times.
• I do not have the staff, delivery vehicles or corporate ‘infrastructure’ to undertake deliveries to stores throughout New Zealand.
• Personal (Courier delivery) of long ‘Shelf Life’ products such as my muesli is the future method of sale/uptake delivery for such quality food products.
• Such a system is ‘Carbon Beneficial’
• My courier delivery system has proven very successful overs 5 years to to date with thousands of completed successful deliveries- and with virtually no delivery problems encountered over that time.
