Given that the choice between a bowl of granola and a plate of bacon and eggs is the width of a cigarette paper in terms of a healthy breakfast the common perception is that the former is better for you on the basis that it’s awful so, it must be doing me good.
Yes, Granola on its own tastes like birdseed, so it must be healthy, right? But add a few extras like fruit and yogurt, and suddenly it’s not just healthy—it’s presentable! Visually, the combination with different fruits creates dabs of colour to the buffet landscape.
Granola is also astronaut approved. Yes, it’s been to space! Lightweight, nutrient-dense, and long-lasting, it’s practically the breakfast of the future.
Why add it to your hotel spread? Today’s travelers want nutritious options, and granola delivers fibre, protein, and lasting energy. It’s versatile too—pair it with yogurt, milk, or smoothies, and cater to vegan and gluten-free diets with ease. Plus, it’s low-maintenance for the kitchen but high-impact on guest satisfaction.
Incorporating granola is an effortless way to upgrade your hotel’s breakfast and keep guests coming back for more. So the guest reaching across the buffet for a bowl of granola who has had a straight run of full English breakfasts during the week deserves a bit of colonic calm to offset the dyspepsia.
