HERE COME THE BALLS

A little over two weeks ago FitBites won £1000 in a competition giveaway with Propel by Deloitte and this led us to launch our 7 day Crowdfunder raise challenge.  The timing couldn't be better as we have spent months developing three exciting new flavours and with your support and investment we can bring these little babies to a shop near you! 

Our streets have witnessed a huge explosion of pedal power and to keep the pedal momentum flowing, with your investment we will launch our Banana & Guarana energy balls.......but do not fear, these mighty balls of power are not just for cyclists, they are for anyone looking for a great burst of energy with a natural buzz.   Excitingly, we have already received pre-sale orders for these products both in the UK and overseas so we are incredibly excited to be bringing these to market. 

Protein is one of the biggest hot words in current food market trends.  People are becoming increasingly aware of the importance that protein plays in our diet, however, the protein bars that we have tasted are incredibly dry and gritty.  So move over boring bars, here come the balls!

FitBites protein balls are 100% vegan and made from only plant based ingredients which means you can enjoy a great tasting healthy snack, high in protein and get your greens with the power of the mighty pea.  The pea I hear you say....yes pea protein which is surprisingly 83% protein.  We will be launching with two delicious flavours, Raspberry & Almond and Cranberries, Acai & Cacao. 


WE THINK FITBITES TASTE GREAT BUT DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT!

FitBites are awesome! They are the perfect size for a quick and convenient snack.  They are especially great to throw in my kit bag and if they are sitting alongside a wet towel they don’t go soggy like some snacks do.  I also love the fact that they are 100% natural & full of flavour.

The Story

FitBites manufacture healthy snacks and promote active lifestyles.  We were frustrated by the unhealthy eating habits of the UK and motivated to help children experience the enjoyment of sport. After trying many boring, dry tasting energy bars, we set to work to create tasty, natural health snacks from simple but high quality ingredients. And so FitBites were born.  The brand is fresh, fun and on a mission to inspire others to eat healthier food and become more active. Live Fit, Eat Fit

Our Products

We currently manufacture 5 flavours of natural, superfood Energy Balls perfect for the after-lunch slump or for a pre-workout energy boost. We also produce 3 varieties of Superfood Powder Blends which can be added to food and drink to give you a great nutritional boost. 

Your investment will enable us to bring our Protein Balls and new Banana Gaurana flavour Energy Balls to market. The new product lines will not only create new revenue streams, they will allow us to diversify from the healthy snack market and into the sports nutrition category.
