I had a real crush on the Landish bars. Nourishing, rich in flavors and proteins, these bars are ideal for getting up at the sunrise, at the snack or before, during or after a sustained physical effort. These bars are perfect to accompany me between the end of my work day and my evening jog. With Landish, the local artisans are also encouraged: this company is Montrealer.

Good moves

Environmental values for Landish

At the heart of the concerns of the young company is the environment. Anxious to reduce its ecological footprint, Landish puts in place some concrete actions:  

• An association with TerraCycle for the recycling of their aluminum packaging (packaging that ensures a certain freshness to food, but is not recycled by municipalities).
• For every online order made in Quebec, Landish planted a tree in the province in partnership with One Tree Planted.

Original flavors

  Landish offers a variety of flavors that can not be more delicious and surprising. I was delighted to find that there is a range of more exotic flavors than the everlasting chocolate and / or peanut butter.   Among the kinds I preferred:

• Chaï Vanille: Perfect for Chai tea lovers, lovers of the autumn season, pumpkin spice latte, suede booties and hikes under a shower of orange and red leaves.

• Mint chocolate: Perfect for winter sports enthusiasts, winter outings followed by hot chocolate in front of the fireplace, wrapped in a fleece blanket.

• Vanilla Coconut: Perfect for dreamers, travelers, adventurers always ready to discover new lands.

  These great bars are made from ingredients such as spirulina, reishi mushrooms and cricket flour, all of which are important protein sources.      

The little one

  Note that the following lines do not change my appreciation of the product and its value. Despite the love I have for these bars, considering my career, including several years working at Anorexia and Boulimie Quebec (ANEB), I can not help regretting the use of certain terms to promote products . Let's hope that the team that seems to really care about the well-being of everyone, who seems sensitive to the reality of people and their hectic daily lives will think about it.   "Avoid bad snacks- Difficult to avoid bad snacks (with images of chips and cookies) - Take control of your diet" reads the website.  

Bad snacks

  The speaker reminds me that there are no good and bad foods. We must rather linger in the place we give them. Eating health should be synonymous with balance. Any food in its place in a balanced diet. Some foods are only there for our pleasure ... and that's okay.   Categorizing foods as bad leads us to consider these foods as rewards, sources of comfort or taboos . Studies show that dietary prohibitions favor obsessions. The restriction resulting from these prohibitions leads to excesses, even compulsions. It's simple, the more we forbid a food, the more we will tend to excesses when it is consumed; not to mention the guilt, shame and / or feeling of failure that may result from this food intake.  

Food control

  The search for control is distressing for many people, especially for people who suffer from an eating disorder. Let's take care of our health, our diet and our body instead of trying to control them. These nuances may seem innocuous or excessive for some, but for me, they seem to me to be impossible to ignore, given my view of the relationship between people and their bodies and food. A relationship too often cloudy. Distorted. Let's talk to people about the pleasure of eating, the pleasure of discovering and the importance of taking care of oneself.  

Where to find Landish products

  In addition to these protein bars, Landish offers a range of protein powders. Landish products are available online as well as in some April.
