Hello, we are Charlotte & Lionel!

As two passionate perfectionists and hungry optimists, we share an appetite for tasty, good-for-all food, travel and life in general.
When we met in 2015, Charlotte was already nuts about granola, perfecting her recipe in her tiny kitchen, batch after batch, to create the perfect blend of healthy delicacies.
After trying Charlotte’s granola recipe, Lionel had a revelation. "Not only did I have the conviction that from that day on, everyday will be a good (breakfast) day but I also wanted to share this special feeling with everyone."
A few months later, we started traveling together and discovered granola in all its forms. We were amazed by the rich and beautiful combination of colors and tastes, and couldn’t help but compare it to mixology. Indeed, as much as mixology, granola is about finding the perfect mix of tasty delights to create a perfectly balanced breakfast.
But Bamboo offers more than just a healthy meal, it’s a day-to-day lifestyle, a mood booster that gives us the energy to be our most unique and powerful selves, enjoying every minute of everyday, making every moment special, starting from the morning.
This is what Bamboo is about: turning every morning into a flavorful and inspiring experience. This philosophy is what inspired and motivated us to start our own brand back in Brussels: Bamboo was born. Therefore, we created a logo, bought our first packaging and delivered our first orders. From there, the snowball effect took place...
We moved to a bigger kitchen, and without warning, Bamboo granola was on the shelves of the biggest stores in Belgium. Today, we are proud to say that Bamboo has become so much more than we could ever have imagined: a successful familial business story, surrounded by a committed team of granola lovers.
And the rest is history
