Natural Balance Foods are a young British company founded in 2004 devoted to making genuinely healthy snacks, that taste good and do good, while having some fun along the way. Our Nakd & TREK brands are revolutionising the category, experiencing explosive growth (Nakd +21% and TREK +92% YoY) as the trend for healthy wholefood alternatives continue to gain momentum. Our Nakd and TREK products are made with natural and wholesome ingredients and are generally free from gluten, wheat and dairy and count towards your 1 of 5-a-day - and quite unlike any other cereal or snack bar on the market.
