Landish
A young Montreal company is dedicated to the nutritional health and better fitness of people swept away by the whirlwind of long working hours, where poor nutrition, lack of energy and good nutrients are slipping into the agenda. This startup is called Landish, a word that comes from outlandish (strange, unknown) and which, unlike the latter, would mean "familiar, not so strange."
This name perfectly describes the brand new Landish products coming to the market, namely protein bars and powders, a range of natural products, nutrient dense and containing beneficial ingredients such as insects, algae and certain varieties of mushrooms. as many high-performance foods that have been consumed for ages in many parts of the world.
That's how six bars and five protein powders are offered to meet the needs of people in a hurry and overworked, whether for a quick breakfast, the small cravings in the middle of the day when the energy is on the decline, when traveling between two appointments, and even before or after training. In fact, all the reasons are good to eat with a Landish product, especially when the snack is both good for the taste and for health!
A question of balance and well-being at work ...
The Landish team is made up of dynamic and dedicated people, who are very aware of the importance of maintaining a good balance between a healthy and varied diet and physical exercise, despite the heavy workload in the office. With this in mind, they organize a series of outdoor activities every month that they offer to various businesses in downtown Montreal with the goal of getting their employees moving. These outings have already started in May and continue throughout the year, even in winter. Already, Mistplay, GoMaterials, Building Stack, Heyday and Life House companies have agreed to participate, knowing that moving in a group is always more stimulating and fun. Transportation is provided by Landish, not to mention the snack with protein bars during a well-deserved break!
... and a question of environment
Landish is also sensitive to the future of our planet and is constantly looking for solutions to reduce its environmental impacts. The young company relies heavily on responsible food and sustainable development. And it makes it a priority! It has therefore decided to tackle two problems: food packaging waste and deforestation.
11 NEW PRODUCTS FOR THE LOAN WORK WEEK
Busy days are often synonymous with a diet on the go that provides no nutritional benefit. The Quebec company Landish has created several products with high nutritional density, in order to meet the daily reality of people in a hurry and to revolutionize the world of snacks.
Its products stand out in nutritional and environmental terms. These are energizing foods (10 grams of protein for a single bar), perfect at work, at home or in any physical activity, whether in the gym or outdoors!
The 11 new Landish products - 6 bars and 5 protein powders - are all easy to consume when time is of the essence and are also known for their high levels of protein, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential nutrients. With three distinctive components - reishi mushroom powder, spirulina powder and cricket powder - these products bring countless benefits.
These functional protein bars and powders are composed of:
• Reishi mushroom, nicknamed the mushroom of immortality and recognized for thousands of years in oriental medicine, especially for its support for the immune system. Traditional Chinese medicine gives her many powers, including strengthening the whole body and helping her maintain optimal health and balance. The bars come in two flavors, vanilla chai and espresso chocolate, while powders are chai or chocolate-flavored.
• Spirulina, a blue-green microalga containing an abundance of nutrients in a very small volume. Spirulina is indeed a powerful antioxidant and offers a significant dose of vitamin B, iron, magnesium, iodine and beta-carotene, giving it a reputation as an energizer. The bars come in two flavors, vanilla coconut and double chocolate, and the powder is vanilla flavored.
• Cricket powder, known for its complete protein intake with the nine essential amino acids and vitamin B12, a profile that gives it a nutritional replacement for meat. Cricket powder also contains chitin, a prebiotic fiber that provides benefits for digestive health. This cricket powder comes from Canadian sources. The bars come in two new flavors, chocolate mint and cinnamon apple, while the powder is offered in chocolate and vanilla flavors.
Landish functional protein bars contain very little sugar (three times less than conventional bars), are gluten-free, dairy-free, nuts and peanuts. Landish protein powders have no added sugar.
Bars can be stored for up to nine months in a cool, dry place or in a refrigerator. The different powders are quickly added to a smoothie or yogurt, and even in hot chocolate, herbal tea, a mix of pancakes or homemade muffins!
All Landish products are sold on the company's website, as well as in the eight Avril markets located in Quebec and at Lufa Farms.
The company spares no effort to reduce the impact of its bar wraps, which are made of rolled aluminum to maximize the freshness of the product, like most of these products on the market. Recycling of this type of packaging is not offered by municipalities. Landish has partnered with TerraCycle, a company specializing in the recycling of "non-recyclable". The latter transforms difficult to recycle materials and makes them park benches, garbage cans, chairs, etc. To find out how to participate in this eco-responsible movement, simply register here.
In addition, for each online order made on the Landish site from Quebec, the company planted a tree in the province, in partnership with the organization One Tree Planted. According to this organization, since 2001, Quebec has seen a decrease of seven million hectares of forest land.
