Premixed snack food company Funch has launched a Paleo product which enables consumers to make their own protein balls at home. 

Founders Tanya Duncan and Lisa Bourne have introduced a Paleo ball mixture of Turmeric, Ginger and Lemon.

The duo worked with a Melbourne-based Paleo food expert named Lizzy Marsh to ensure the mix was healthy, with the use of anti-inflammatory superfoods.

Ingredients include lemon juice, maple syrup, coconut oil, turmeric, ginger, black pepper, almonds, coconut, chia seeds and pepitas.

“The pepper activates the curcumin in the turmeric, to give it a ‘superboost’,” Duncan said.

“And the spices are all steam-sterilised to ensure they’re safe for raw consumption”.

The product is vegan, gluten, dairy, grain and GMO-free.

Funch was launched in Melbourne in 2014 to provide mixes for health balls, slices, and muesli bars.
