If you’re anything like us, you take snacking very seriously. Bonus points if the snacks consumed are tasty, organic and packed with nutrient-dense ingredients, are we right? Lucky for you, Byron Bay-based company, The Daily Bar, have taken the guesswork out of healthy snacking with their range of delicious superfood bars. And with flavours like choc-mint, peanut butter, açai and chai, trust us when we say, they really are delicious (and they look even better).

Tired of misleading buzzwords, nasty preservatives and impure ingredients, this team of young innovators took it upon themselves to create something delicious and healthy while leaving the smallest carbon footprint possible. They use natural ingredients that are honest to their roots and are encouraging snack-aficionados everywhere to make health (yours and the planet’s) a priority.

But why is that so important, you ask? The Daily Bar have provided the facts about the food we all eat every day and they just might shock you a little bit.

Fact: conventional (read: non-organic) food is sprayed with herbicides, pesticides and other poisonous chemicals.

Fact: These toxins remain the food you eat, building up in the body and depleting your health over time. Doesn’t sound so good, does it?

But, led by passion and purpose, The Daily Bar want to change the presumptions and stories around snack foods for good, so your taste buds can be spoiled without spoiling your health. Genius!

Led by a twenty-something, yoga-doing, self-confessed foodie, the team behind The Daily Bar are pioneering something quite revolutionary in the snack food space. They have left no box unchecked when it comes to sustainability, nutrition and modern-day convenience. Completely natural, organic ingredients? Check. Compostable and renewable packaging? Check. Boxes printed with non-toxic vegetable inks? Check. Plus, their packaging is truly gorgeous. And if that’s not enough to entice you to buy their bars, then the taste alone will have you hooked.

Can you tell us a little about your background and where the inspiration came from for your business?

Having always been a foodie, and with young fresh eyes, I noticed that a lot of things didn’t make sense to me about the current food system in Australia. What we eat and how we fuel ourselves (so ultimately our health and how we feel) is predominantly driven by commercial viability. I felt like there was so much opportunity, and to some extent necessity, to bring real food and simple, honest health into the mainstream. There was also a necessity for businesses to reduce their impact on the planet (this was non-negotiable for us). I think the combination of purpose and passion is a force to be reckoned with, so the inspiration for the brand just flooded in.
