“A great love emerged” she said noting she and Dan married in 2015. She was chef to her now husband Dan Lufkin and his late wife, Cynthia Lufkin, a well-known philanthropist.Īfter Cynthia died of cancer, leaving two children, Dan Lufkin kept Adrienne on as the family’s chef. Lufkin was a personal chef to people for 20 years, often cooking in a way to suit health needs. “My goal would be for people to have it in their pantry either as their stand alone granola or a topping,” she said. Lufkin said Struseli is rich in prebiotics, fiber, healthy fats and is completely plant-based. It didn’t take Lufkin long to figure out the ingredients, but tweaking the amounts took some experimenting. “It feels lighter than your traditional granola…Oats are very carby and they do weigh you down,” she said. Her product doesn’t contain any artificial sweeteners either. Lufkin said granola has this “aura” of being a health food,” but really it’s usually heavy and carby because of the oats and usually sweetened, she said. “I even eat it as a cereal with a bit of plant based milk and berries for dessert.” I love that Struesli does not spike your blood sugar,” she said. “I had a hard time finding a granola without sweeteners. Puc said the tiger nuts and coconut oil give the granola “a delicious sweetness without any added sugars whatsoever.” “Now, I just grab my bulk bag of Struesli and scoop it out,” she said. Marcia Puc of Naugatuck said she was originally drawn to Struesli because it contains so many of the superfoods se had been putting on yogurt and smoothie bowls for years from different sources. “You taste all those wonderful flavors that don’t get masked by being overly sweetened,” said Pastor, who buys it a market in Bantam. Ben Pastor, also of Washington, said he has the Cacao + Coffee flavor every day for breakfast on his low-sugar vanilla yogurt and says it’s “super duper delicious” and so nutrient dense that it boosts his energy.
