Since launch in 2017 tiny start-up Vive have achieved the rather amazing feat of successfully introducing new Protein Bars and Protein Powders to a very crowded market. Credit to their bars and powders being good and different enough to secure a place in the hearts of us demanding and spoiled for choice consumers!

Naturya Superbars Review & Interview!

Raw Gorilla Crispies & Munchies are arrive inside packets but ...

There are a multitude of snack, food and protein bars competing within the Free From Food Awards in 2017. Snack Bars have been a booming product for years and there has been a welcome shift away from sugar rich candy bars towards more protein and fibre rich bars using whole foods or fortified with added micro-nutrients.

If you have room in your diet for some snack bars, ...
