How our feelgood food powers Tan’s healthy snack business
Have you heard about the snack that is 100% healthy, packed with goodness, with the ingredients available under one roof and that are also delicious? You haven’t? Then let us introduce you to NOSH Balls, a range of energy snack balls that use mostly Grape Tree ingredients in their recipes.
Founder and creator of NOSH Balls, Tan Littlefair, from West Sussex, created the health food snack firm in Chichester and now delivers all over the UK.
It was when sourcing her ingredients for the no sugar, gluten-free, no junk, healthy snacks that she stumbled upon Grape Tree and cites us as an inspiration for her healthy creations.
And she explained why she chose our chain for her super-charged, super-healthy snacks.
“I love how Grape Tree shops make healthier choices really accessible and affordable,” she said.
NOSH Balls come in 11 flavours and are available online. But, in case you’d like to try making them for yourself, here are four flavours you can create with a little help from us.
