Meet the Flavors: A Guide to Every Nonfiction Bar.

Four flavours, one philosophy: Real ingredients that satisfy your cravings and prepares you for the day.

How do you choose which flavour to eat or pack with you? Do you indulge in your current craving, have a go-to favourite, or just close your eyes and reach in your variety pack for whatever the universe puts in your hand? Sometimes the choice is easy, but some other days, not so much.

Knowing what's actually inside each bar and how the ingredients can support your day differently is a good factor to calculate in your decision. Not sure which flavour to try first? You're in the right place. Keep reading for an honest and informed breakdown of what's in all of our Nonfiction bars.

Our Base Ingredients

Every one of our bars starts with four premium but simple staples: almonds, honey, oats and whey protein isolate.

Almonds: Each bar packs a a full daily serving of almonds. A plant-based protein, packed with healthy fats, fibre, and essential nutrients like Vitamin E and magnesium. They also add that satisfying crunch that makes a Nonfiction bar feel like real food, not just another protein snack.

Honey: Our natural sweetener of choice. It provides small amounts of nutrients and antioxidants along with the carbohydrates your body uses for energy, and gives our bars a deliciously distinct texture. Sugar alcohols or artificial sweeteners? We could never.

Oats: A great source of slow-digesting carbohydrates and essential fibre. Oats make a solid foundation for steady and satisfying fuel throughout your day. They're also great for your heart and give our bars that soft, natural grain texture.

Whey protein isolate: One of the purest, highest-quality protein sources available. Filtered to remove most of the fat and lactose, it tends to sit more easily with those who are sensitive to dairy. It's also a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids, including leucine, which plays a key role in muscle repair and recovery.

Put them all together and you get our basic Nonfiction philosophy: real food, simple ingredients, nutrition without compromise.

Now that the basics are covered, let's talk about how each flavour's defining ingredient complements our bars, and potentially, your day.

Coffee Chocolate

If your mornings start with a real cup of coffee, this one's built to match it. Bold, rich, chocolatey, and made with real coffee. Each bar is packed with 30mg of caffeine, a stimulant associated with a boost in alertness and focus.

How it can support your day: 

No time for breakfast and coffee? Bam. Our coffee chocolate bar has you covered. It will energize you on-the-go so you can be locked-in the moment you arrive at your first destination of the day. The combination of protein, carbohydrates, fats and caffeine makes it a convenient way to start your morning when time is not on your side. Just remember to treat your body to a full, balanced lunch later, it deserves it!

Struggling to focus in the office or in a studying session but don't want to commit to another full cup of coffee on top of what you've already had? We got you. Here's a slight but necessary push of caffeine and protein to keep your brain going.

Heading for a work-out? Caffeine and protein is a heavenly combination that makes this a perfect pre-workout snack. Eat it 30-45 minutes before training to give you that boost and see how it fits in your routine.

 

Blueberry Almond

Our freshest and fruitiest flavour yet. We added real freeze-dried and dried blueberries into the mix to bring this bestseller to life. Blueberries are naturally rich in antioxidant compounds called anthocyanins, the same compounds that give them their color, bringing a real-fruit brightness that flavouring alone couldn't match.

How it can support your day: 

This flavour is perfect for those moments when you need to focus, but do not want the caffeine jitters. Both blueberries and almonds are considered "brain foods", which could help improve memory, focus and mental sharpness.

Try pairing it with fruit or yogurt (check some of our of recipes out!). This flavour is universally friendly and great for anyone easing into protein bars for the first time while wanting something less bold to start with.

Heading out for a meditating walk? Throw one in your bag. Running between stressful meetings? Keep one at your desk. Packing for a long road trip? You already know what to do.

Mint Chocolate

Cool, crisp mint meets rich, deep chocolate. Like your favourite after-dinner treat but with a satisfying almond crunch in every bite. What makes us different? Since we sweeten our bars with honey (rather than refined sugar), the minty sweetness mixes differently. Ours feels deeper, warmer, and more distinct, rather than the sharp superficial sweetness that you get from sugar or sugar alcohols.

Mint can provide a refreshing sensation and reduce cravings. While chocolate has powerful antioxidants and essential minerals that can support your health and mood, yay endorphins!

How it can support your day: 

Need something between lunch and dinner but don't want to reach for a bag of candy? Or maybe you want a refreshing but satisfying dessert after a protein-lacking meal? Mint Chocolate is the answer. Its chocolatey and minty flavour can satisfy that sweet craving while the protein, fats and fibre help make it more substantial.

Our serious recommendations: Try it after a summer run under the hot sun, a relaxing hot yoga session, or a sweaty, intense workout, paired with some ice water to refresh and restart your senses while feeding your body the necessary nutrients to refuel.

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip

The one that tastes the most like a cookie while still doing a protein bar's job. Real rolled oats and real chocolate chips give it that familiar, comforting flavour. Oats bring fibre to the mix, which plays a role in steady digestion and helps you feel fuller for longer, while real chocolate adds naturally occurring antioxidant compounds on top of that classic cookie taste.

How it can support your day:

Feeling that 3:00pm slump where you're craving a snack from the vending machine? This is the one to keep at your desk instead. The fibre from real oats helps take the edge off a steep energy crash, and the familiar, cookie-like flavour satisfies a craving without needing an actual dessert.

Just finished lunch but still want something sweet? Oatmeal Chocolate Chip works as a satisfying follow-up, real protein and fibre make it more substantial than a typical cookie, so it's not just empty sweetness.

Packing snacks for a long day out, a road trip, a hike, a full day of errands? This is the one built for comfort. Nothing fancy, nothing to overthink, just a straightforward, satisfying bar for whenever the day calls for something familiar.

Which One Should You Try First?

If you're new to Nonfiction, there's no wrong answer. But here's a simple way to decide: if you love coffee, start with Coffee Chocolate. If you want something lighter, start with Blueberry Almond. If you like a refreshing twist in your snack, try Mint Chocolate. If you want something that feels like a treat and a safe choice, Oatmeal Chocolate Chip is built for exactly that moment.
