Performance nutrition brand House of Macadamias is launching a trio of better-for-you, plant-based snack bars nationwide across the UK. Variants of the tree nut snack bar include chocolate coconut, salted caramel and dark chocolate macadamia. The 100% natural and plant-based nut bars are low-calorie and high in protein. According to the company, they can appeal to both snackers and specialist diet advocates such as those who follow a keto, vegan or paleo diet. Brandon Hiemstra, co-owner of House of Macadamias, said: "As a transparent brand that makes no bones about the fact that macadamias will always be the first name on our ingredient decks (between 45-98% content), we are equally clear that will never denigrate their discerning reputation or our wider wellness focus by surrounding them with refined sugar, cheap fillers or any synthetic nasties." The bars will be available nationwide across the UK this month, including in WHSmiths, Planet Organic and Partridges.
