These last weeks, I tested the new products of the brand Landish. It's a Montreal company to discover!
Landish products
The brand specializes in protein products with bars and drink powder. Made from great foods, the products contain crickets, mushrooms or algae such as spirulina. Bars come in 6 flavors and powders in 5 varieties.
The bars are low in sugar, no gluten, no nuts or peanuts. The powders are without added sugar and that's cool! The products are made from healthy ingredients and provide the perfect dose of protein to start the day or to have energy during a physical activity.
In addition, the company is committed to the environment! She has teamed up with
TerraCycle to recycle its packaging, I find it really cool! All businesses should do the same thing. And she also plants a tree for every order made online and in Quebec. Serious, these are really great initiatives!
My opinion on the products
For starters, I really like the design and shape of the bars. They are thin and very compact, it does not take up space in a bag or pocket. Then the tastes are great: spirulina and chocolate, spirulina and vanilla / coconut, mushroom reishi chocolate / espresso or crickets and apples / cinnamon powder. The flavors are original and the tastes are pleasant. I really liked the flavors of these bars.
I ate them on a hike, before and after workout and in the morning before going to work. And honestly, the bars are so compact and supportive that each gave me 2 snacks! This is the kind of bar I take on a trip, perfect for filling hunger when we have not had time to eat. They fit well in the backpack.
I liked the protein powder. It's not the kind of product I consume, so I do not have a comparison. But I liked tested with almond milk and a banana. My smoothie was delicious and especially perfect to hold all morning! I really appreciate this product, it is a beautiful discovery. Again, good ingredients good for us, I like that!
If you are a consumer of this kind of products, this new Montreal brand is to be discovered and adopted! Beautiful products and beautiful values, it does not take more to be addicted.
When you eat gluten-free, it's not always easy to find gluten-free snacks on the go or because you have not had time to cook.

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.

Health at your fingertips with Landish
Already their company name surprises and we wonder what that means.
Landish is inspired by the word
outlandish which means strange, unknown. But conversely, Landish means familiar, not that strange. This Montreal startup is focusing on good nutritional health by offering protein bars and powders perfect for breakfast, snacks, on the go or even before or after training.
Well being at work
The Landish team wants to be part of the daily lives of people who have long, busy weeks. To counteract bad snacks, lack of key nutrients, health and immune systems under pressure and lack of energy, their products are made from ingredients such as reishi mushroom, spirulina and cricket powder. These natural foods are rich, among others, in Vitamins B and B12, iron, magnesium and iodine.
In order to continue their mission of staying healthy during the work week, Landish created the "Out on the Landish" series of outdoor activities for businesses in downtown Montreal. Employees can therefore move in groups. Transportation and snacks, of course, are provided by Landish.
Environment
The Montréal startup is focusing on sustainable development and is tackling two issues in particular: food packaging waste and deforestation. To do this, for each order placed, a tree is planted in Quebec, in partnership with One Tree Planted and Landish is also associated with TerraCycle to transform packaging waste into park benches.
Finally there is something for everyone. 6 flavors are offered for the bars (mint-chocolate, vanilla-coconut, double chocolate, apple-cinnamon, chocolate-espresso and chaï-vanilla). For protein powders, there is the choice between chai, chocolate or vanilla that can be found according to the different basic foods (reishi, spirulina or cricket powder). It is not the choice of flavors that is missing!

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".
