Premium bar manufacturer, SnackHQ, has launched its new Natural Fruit range, packed with real fruit, oats, nuts and seeds to deliver a nutritionally balanced snack.

SnackHQ’s Natural Fruit bars are made with real fruit and wholefood ingredients, offering fibre and protein, a 5 Health Star Rating, and no artificial colours or flavours.

The new range expands the SnackHQ brand, which launched its first product in June last year. The ReFil range contains nine grams of prebiotic fibre, six grams of protein, no artificial flavours or colours, less than one teaspoon of sugar per bar and zero sugar alcohols. It launched with Iced Chocolate and Dipped Strawberry flavours, and introduced Creamy Caramel in November.

The Natural Fruit range includes Natural Fruit Slice bars in two flavours – Choc Berry and Mango Passionfruit – as well as the Natural Fruit Swizler in Berry Burst flavour. Designed to bridge the gap between fruit snacks and muesli bars, the SnackHQ Natural Fruit Range aims to deliver a better-for-you alternative without compromising on taste.

Natural Fruit Slice bars are now available in Woolworths stores nationwide in a five-pack for RRP $7.00, and the Natural Fruit Swizler bars are available in a four-pack for RRP $7.50.
