Frequently asked questions

Orders, shipping, subscriptions and stockists, plus the ingredient questions we get asked most.

Taste and flavours

What do Greenback bars taste like?

Like a proper treat, not a punishment. Taste is our first rule: if it doesn't taste great, it doesn't launch. No chalkiness, no weird aftertaste. That's exactly why we started Greenback.

What flavours do you make?

We've got a whole range of flavours, and new ones keep coming. The easiest way to find your favourite is the sampler pack. It has two each of Hazelnut, Salted Caramel, Choc Raspberry, Triple Choc, Peanut Butter Cup and Killer Coffee, so you can try six of our favourites in one box. And if bars aren't your thing, try our protein balls and bites. Same good stuff, different shape. Protein Bars. Sampler Pack. Protein Balls. Protein Bites.

What's the texture like?

Soft and chewy, with a little crunch in every bite. Like a firmer bar? Pop them in the fridge.

Ingredients and allergens

What's in a Greenback bar?

Real food you'd recognise, such as dark chocolate, peanuts, hazelnuts, pea protein, soy protein crisps and chicory root fibre. Every ingredient has to earn its spot, and every product lists its full ingredients on the pack and on its product page.

Are they vegan, gluten-free and halal?

Everything we make is 100% plant-based: no dairy, no whey, no eggs, no animal products. All our products are made and tested gluten-free and we are certified Halal. Always check the label on your pack.

Do they contain nuts, peanuts or soy?

Yes. Many of our bars contain peanuts, tree nuts (like hazelnuts) and soy. Made on equipment which processes milk, sesame & other tree nuts, therefore these allergens may be present. If you have an allergy, always check the label on the pack you're eating.

What do you sweeten them with, and how much sugar is in them?

Mostly dates, plus oligofructose, a plant fibre with a naturally mild sweetness. The only added sugar is in our dark chocolate. No artificial sweeteners and no sugar alcohols. Sugar varies by product, so you'll find the exact amount in the nutrition panel on each product page.

Do you use artificial colours, flavours or preservatives?

No. None of them. The good stuff should speak for itself, and shelf life comes from how we make the bars, not from preservatives.

Is there caffeine in Killer Coffee?

Yes, from real coffee: about 100mg per bar/ball, roughly a cup of coffee. Maybe skip it at bedtime.

Protein and nutrition

How much protein is in Greenback?

It depends on the product. Our bars, balls and bites come in different sizes, so the amount of protein varies. You'll find the exact amount on each product page and on the pack. Most of it comes from pea protein, soy and peanuts.

Why plant protein?

Pea and soy protein give you protein without dairy or whey, which suits vegans, people who avoid dairy, and everyone who just wants a snack that sits well. Soy is a complete protein, and pea protein works well alongside it.

How much protein do I need each day?

It depends on your age, size and activity. As a rough guide, Australia's Nutrient Reference Values suggest about 0.84 g per kg of body weight for adult men and 0.75 g/kg for adult women. That's about 64 g and 46 g a day for an average adult. For advice for your own situation, talk to your GP or an Accredited Practising Dietitian.

Is Greenback suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Protein needs increase during pregnancy and breastfeeding, and our bars are made from everyday food ingredients. Everyone's needs are different, though, so please check with your GP, midwife or dietitian before adding anything new to your diet. Also check the label for allergens and caffeine (Killer Coffee contains coffee).

Are your protein bars a meal replacement?

No. They're a snack. They're great for the 3pm slump, a busy day or on the go, but they're not designed to replace a meal.

Can kids eat them?

They're made for adults, but they're made from everyday food ingredients, so many families share them. Check the label for allergens, and skip Killer Coffee for kids because of the caffeine.

Are your protein bars good for weight loss?

We don't make weight-loss claims. We make snacks that taste great and aren't full of rubbish. For personal nutrition goals, a dietitian is the best person to talk to.
