BEAR

BEAR’s story begins with a simple need to make being healthy a little bit easier and a whole lot tastier.

As a personal trainer, BEAR’s founder Hayley was constantly confronted with people growling about difficult diets and families finding it hard to get their kids to eat fruit. She searched the world for a healthy alternative and named her company BEAR after an article she read in January 2009.

The article studied bears that had drifted into cities to forage from behind junk food joints and compared them to bears eating natural foods. The city bears were 30% fatter than their wild bear friends, as well as 30% less active. Sadly, the city bears were all dead by the age of 10, whilst over 60% of the wild bears lived healthily. The story resonated with Hayley, who believed that processed foods were a problem for families. And so BEAR was born!

BEAR’s mission is to get back to nature in what we eat and what we do. BEAR aims to make the healthier choice easier for parents and exciting for kids. BEAR creates snacks made with real fruit and veg that are gently baked with 100% natural ingredients, never from concentrate, and with no added nonsense or added sugar — only the naturally occurring sugars from whole fruit and veg, making them a great choice for cubs’ 5-a-day.

Beyond snacks, BEAR inspires cubs to learn about healthy eating and the planet with collectable cards and fun educational content that encourages curiosity and engagement with the world around them.

From fruit yoyos and bites to playful card adventures, BEAR’s healthy snacks and activities are designed to make healthy habits fun and accessible for little cubs and their grown-ups.
