Social enterprise Thankyou is capitalising on the low-sugar trend by launching a range of savoury snack bars.

The 40g bars come in two flavours: Lime & Black Pepper and Mexican Chipotle.

They are gluten-free and include ingredients such as almonds, quinoa and faba beans.

"These will challenge people's thinking about what bars are 'supposed to be'," Thankyou MD Daniel Flynn said.

The launch tops of a big year for the company, which crowdfunded over $1.2 million for a baby products launch through the sale of a book, and embarked on a program involving visiting schools to spread the message of Thankyou.
