About

I started making these for my mum.

She'd been in perimenopause for twelve years before discovering what she was going through. Twelve years of symptoms with no name attached to them.

Perimenopause is hard. I'm not going to pretend a chocolate bar fixes it. But I could make her something that helped, with ingredients chosen deliberately, with perimenopause symptoms in mind.

I wanted to give her something to look forward to, something delicious that tasted naughty without being so. Something that was good for her. It had to taste like a dessert. Not a supplement. Not a health snack. Not something she had to talk herself into. 

That's the Balance Bar. Rich, fudgy and indulgent tasting with 70% dark chocolate, toasted walnuts, peanut butter and a thoughtfully chosen blend of seeds and whole foods, finished with flakes of Maldon sea salt. Every ingredient is in there for a reason. 

They have now become a part of her daily routine. She breaks it up and has it with Greek yogurt. Not how I pictured it being enjoyed, and is now my favourite thing about it!
