Fodbods was created by Melbourne-based Vanessa. After years of suffering from gut issues, she was introduced to the FODMAP diet and it completely transformed her life.
As a busy mum of two and former corporate high-flyer, she was frequently eating on the go and quickly realised there was a big gap in the market for healthy low FODMAP snacks.
“So many people live with gut issues, not realising that they can often be managed by simple diet changes. Unfortunately most snacks on the market, in particular protein bars, contain high FODMAP ingredients which are the most common cause of IBS symptoms. I felt that I had to do something about this so I created Fodbods.”
Fodbods are the only Monash certified low FODMAP protein bars made and owned in Australia! They’re dietitian formulated, 100% natural, vegan and gluten-free.
Fodbods bars are very high in protein to keep you feeling full for longer. As our entire range is plant based, we use a blend of pea and rice protein, along with soy protein crisps, to provide a more complete amino acid profile. Often plant-derived proteins contain FODMAPs but Fodbods bars contain a very pure form of protein and the bars have been tested and certified as low FODMAP.
Fodbods protein bars come in 7 unique flavour combinations and two different sizes (50g and 30g) – “from peanut butter and chocolate, to more unique flavours like lemon, raspberry and banana, I wanted there to be a deliciously indulgent flavour to suit everyone’s different taste buds.”
For so many people, Fodbods are just delicious healthy snacks, but for others, Fodbods can be life changing – finally something they can trust, to take with them everywhere so they’re never caught out with nothing to eat.
