All you ever wanted to know about Love Bites…
At The H**pire we’re always curious and always on the lookout for great products. But we’re also quite fussy, so you can imagine our delight when we were introduced to Love Bites, healthy and nutritious snacks hand made in Norwich. These are amazing treats, and we’ve secured a select
supply with CBD. From a city already famous for great mustard, a football team and Alan Partridge, we think this is quite a coup! And even better, we also managed to get an interview with Love Bites’ owner, Meg.
What made you make Love Bites?
I started making Love Bites when I lived in Sydney, Australia. I had two young kids, and we needed a
healthy after school snack that wasn’t full of sugar but still had a good kick of energy. I need to eat
little and often and so these were the perfect answer, a naturally delicious snack without the
nasties.
This kind of snack is quite common there, where lots of people are very health conscious. When we
moved back to the UK, there was nothing like a Love Bite that was as fresh and as tasty, so I started
making them to sell here in Norwich…it’s grown from there. In Australia, they’re usually called ‘Bliss
Balls’ but Love Bites seemed right for the UK – they’re just a bite, and people love them!
Is it a treat or daily product?
Both! Love Bites can be a treat, but because they are healthy and contain no refined sugar, you can
eat them every day. They are also Vegan, GF and Dairy-free, and suitable for people with diabetes. The main ingredients are dates; almonds, or dates; peanuts, then depending on the flavour I add natural ingredients like lemon or orange zest, pistachios, coconut and freeze-dried raspberries - all healthy natural ingredients.
When I make CBD Love Bites, I add Milagro CBD oil into the mixture, which means people can take their CBD without the bitter taste.
How does your best friend rate Love Bites?
My best friend loves them and is my guinea pig for tasting new flavours. There is always a constant supply on her desk – and she has to guard the new testers, especially carefully.
Tell us a lovely short Love Bites story?
The feedback I get is excellent and the fact that they keep selling tells me I’m doing something right. But
the best story that comes to mind is my friend Beth, who left my house with a bag of Love Bites that
was meant to last her several days. Ten minutes later she sent me a message “I’ve just arrived at pre-
school and I’ve eaten 5 already!” As far as I know, she holds the record!
Another thing I love is the way that Love Bites keep me connected and bring me, new friends. Love
Bites have become popular in many cafes and shops in and around the city. When I can, I deliver on
my mums’ old bike and I love the feeling of creating a network of friends throughout my city as I
deliver Love Bites to my lovely customers.
At www.theh**pireshop.com we are delighted to be stockists of CBD Love Bites in 5 delicious,
healthy flavours: Raspberry Chocolate, Chocolate Orange, Lemon & Coconut, Salted Caramel, and
