Gut health brand Bio&Me is expanding its breakfast portfolio with the launch of two pistachio-based SKUs, capitalising on the flavour’s growing popularity while reinforcing its science-led positioning.

The new Pistachio & Vanilla Low Sugar Granola (RRP £3.50/360g) and Pistachio & Chia Overnight Oats (RRP £3.50/350g) roll out nationwide in Tesco stores and via bioandme.co.uk from this week.

Founded by Dr Megan Rossi – widely known as The Gut Health Doctor – Bio&Me has built its reputation on translating microbiome science into accessible, everyday food. The latest launches aim to combine on-trend flavour with functional benefits.

Both SKUs have been formulated to deliver a broad range of plant-based ingredients designed to support gut microbiome diversity.

The Pistachio & Vanilla Low Sugar Granola contains 14 plant-based foods, including pistachios, chia seeds, carrots, coconut and dates. It joins the brand’s bestselling Low Sugar, Naturally granola.

Meanwhile, Pistachio & Chia Overnight Oats features 12 plant-based ingredients, including wholegrain oats, almonds and chia seeds, expanding Bio&Me’s overnight oats line-up alongside Cocoa and Raspberry & Coconut variants.

Each product carries the EFSA-approved ‘Good For Your Gut’ health claim and is free from artificial ingredients, sweeteners and palm oil – attributes that continue to resonate with consumers seeking natural, functional breakfast options.

Dr Megan Rossi commented: “Pistachio is having a real moment, and it’s easy to see why. Not only do they bring a naturally delicious, creamy flavour, but they’re also rich in gut-loving prebiotics and plant protein. At Bio&Me, we’re always led by the science, so choosing pistachios isn’t about following a trend for trend’s sake – it’s about pairing great taste with gut health benefits.”

Jon Walsh, co-founder and CEO of Bio&Me, said: “We’ve seen strong demand from both consumers and retailers for a Bio&Me take on pistachio. These launches allow us to tap into the trend in a way that’s authentic to Bio&Me, delivering plant diversity and strong gut health credentials.”

The NPD comes at a time of significant commercial momentum for the Chester-based business. Bio&Me recently surpassed £20 million in retail sales, up 52% year-on-year, with 2.8 million boxes of granola and 4 million pots of kefir yoghurt sold in 2025 alone.
