Melbourne-based manufacturer SnackHQ has extended its Pick Me Up snack bar range with two new flavours, Strawberry Matcha and Choc Brownie, taking the lineup to five variants.

The 100-calorie bars carry a 5 Health Star Rating and launched in 2025. The additions come off the back of more than $3 million invested across SnackHQ and its contract manufacturing arm Hitex over the past three years, covering plant automation, quality systems, new product development, and talent.

“Following the significant investment in the business, we are in an exciting phase of growth,” said SnackHQ Chief Executive Officer, Darren Butler. “We have built a strong platform for further expansion and innovation and are working on several new product launches over the next 12 months and beyond.”

Availability: Independent supermarkets and Amazon. RRP $8.30 per box of five bars.
