Qnola

London-based model and nutritionist, Danielle Copperman, began making her own gluten-free granola when she realised there really wasn’t anything on the market, which didn’t rely on heavily processed grains. Thus, Qnola was born. ‘Wake Up Well,’ is the tagline behind this healthy alternative to commercial cereals, since it does not contain gluten, additives, preservatives and refined sugar (as many supermarket varieties do). Instead, Qnola contains a unique combination of raw nuts, coconut flakes, chia seeds and superfood powders.
