Dear reader, A warm welcome to the March newsletter. In advance of the very exciting launch of our brand new healthy date ball snack LEKA LEKA, I wanted to say a few words about why I created it, and more generally, where we are in terms of the foods we consume. The good news is undoubtedly that we are becoming more health conscious as a nation. But the less good news is that we are still somewhat being fooled by the marketing tactics employed by the health food industry. Protein has been a major buzz word for some time now and there’s no doubt that we should consume it, but the best way to do so is by eating whole foods such as meat, dairy, fish and legumes, and not substituting for foods enriched by protein powder. Moreover, the emphasis on protein rich snack bars has drawn attention away from the fact that they also contain a lot of ultra processed ingredients and are not quite as ‘healthy’ as the marketeers would have you think. Quite often they are full of refined sugar, artificial preservatives, flavourings and colourings. Low fat is another contentious area – your body needs good fats, and when a product has the fat taken out of it, quite often a lot of sweetener is added in to… guess what, put the taste back in to it!! So, we came up with an answer. LEKA LEKA. A totally delicious range of chocolate covered date balls, made of just a few premium whole ingredients such as dates, oats, chia seeds, chicory root, nut butters and dark chocolate. With ZERO added sugar but high in fibre, high in good fats and free from any artificial flavourings or colourings, LEKA LEKA date balls give you a sustained energy release with no glucose spike, and are only 70 kcals a ball. All you have to do is choose your favourite – Pistachio Rose, Hazelnut or Raspberry. Better yet, we are making LEKA LEKA available direct from our website straight to your LEKAbox (see what I did there?), and if you would like to be the first to receive yours, simply leave your details here so we can let you know the minute they become available. Your quest for a healthy delicious snack has ended. LEKA LEKA the simple and nutritious answer to your healthy snack dream… Discover more and register your interest. With best wishes for Easter, Alison
