— High in fibre and plant protein;

— Crunchy, satisfying and portion controlled;


 2. Tasti Made Simple Wholefood Bar

— Great ingredients list;

— High in fibre and good for sustained energy;


3. Siggi’s Yoghurt

— Low sugar, high protein;

— Calcium-rich and great with berries or cinnamon;


4. Lucky Nuts Almonds, Sultanas & Probiotic Choc Bites

— Healthy fats, natural sweetness and gut support;


5. Happles Apple & Raspberry Slices

—  Freeze-dried fruit with crunch and no added sugar;


6. Carman’s Roasted Nut Bars

— Source of fibre and healthy fats with just enough sweetness;


7. Smooze Coconut & Mango Fruit Ice

— Made with real fruit and coconut milk;
