24.01.2022 Happy 5 year NB Anniversary Anne!! Today marks Anne’s 5th anniversary with Nourishing Bites and I want to recognise the enormous contribution she has made to our family’s business. Anne is our head baker and no other baker could possibly be as efficient, process oriented and good at multi-tasking as Anne. Visitors to our kitchen are always amazed by how quickly she simultaneously buzzes around the kitchen making our goodies and engages in conversation. ... Being a natural Mother Hen and having studied psychology at university, Anne is always there to lend her support and wise advice to our team. She also does a wonderful job of training and encouraging our team to grow towards their full potential. We are really grateful for Anne’s commitment and dedication to NB and her loyalty and support of our family Shelley, Dan and PJ xx

21.01.2022 Eating gluten and dairy free on the road We fully understand how hard it can be travelling, if like us you can’t consume gluten or dairy. Finding gluten and dairy free food is certainly getting sooo much easier but it’s not always reliable depending on where you are! A great idea is to freeze some of your favourite GF snacks prior to hitting the road so you can just grab them out of the freezer before you go! No one wants to miss out on road trip snacks right?!... These are our easy peasy Make-At-Home Banana muffins, super quick to make and really yummy too! Simply chuck a few from each batch you make into the freezer so you always have a nice little supply! We love making eating healthy, wholesome food easy and accessible. Our cafe The Nook is great for grabbing one of our make- at-home mixes if you’re here in Townsville. You can also purchase them from our online store (www.nourishingbites.com.au/online store) for delivery anywhere in Australia. Enjoy

21.01.2022 We can’t wait to see you this morning! We’ll be here from 8am - 11.30am! Our usual barista Gen is out of action but the lovely Keely from Tash’s Place has offered to help us out today so come on in and say hi! If you’re planning on calling in for a delicious brekky or brunch, it might be best to send me a message on 0414 401 744 to book a table to ensure you have a seat! ... See you at The Nook!

21.01.2022 See for Yourself Just Wholesome Heavenly Hazel is // As part of our 3rd birthday celebrations for Heavenly Hazel we thought it would be helpful to show you her composition. We could just tell you that she is made from 65% roasted hazelnuts but this deconstruction of her ingredients is much more compelling, don't you think?! As you can see, Hazel is made from lots and lots of house-roasted hazelnuts. We actually roast them for more than 20 minutes to bring out their beautiful ...nutty flavour. Underneath are chunks of the vegan dark chocolate & cacao powder we add to give it her a rich chocolatey taste. At the bottom is the unrefined coconut sugar we use to enrich the flavour and make Heavenly Hazel a guilt free indulgence. And that's it, nothing else. Just pure, unadulterated bliss !! If you were to consume the major imported brand of choc hazelnut spread, you would literally need to swap the quantities of hazelnuts and sugar in this jar! Don't forget we are offering a 15% discount on all sizes of Heavenly Hazel until this Wednesday, 30 September. Simply visit our online shop (www.nourishingbites.com.au/onlineshop) and enter the code "hazel15" at the checkout to secure your jar. Enjoy xx #tsvdelivery #supportlocaltownsville #nourishingbites #australianhandmade #inthenbkitchen

21.01.2022 Well lookie here what treats we have available online and at The Nook for a limited time!! Our Heavenly Hazel Crunch Bars and Mango Coconut Cheezecakes have been so popular these past couple of weeks that we've made them available for ONE last week. We want to make sure that ALL of our lovers of these delightful treats get one last chance to enjoy them before we move onto our next special. Our Heavenly Hazel Crunch Bars are based on the same amazing mixture that we use in o...ur Choc hazelnut Christmas trees and Easter eggs (read: a rich and super decadent take on a FerrThe Nooker!). Not only are they absolutely scrumptious but they are also 100% gluten free, dairy free, vegan and refined sugar free too. Now that spring has well and truly 'sprung' in sunny Nth QLD, the Mango Coconut Cheezecakes are a tropical fruity dream and the perfect light and refreshing treat on these warmer days. They are also 100% gluten free, dairy free and refined sugar free. Both of these are available in boxes on our website (https://www.nourishingbites.com.au/onlineshop/) and at The Nook cafe this week (Thurs - Fri: 8am - 11am) until sold out! PS If either of these are special favourites of yours and you'd like to stock up, they both freeze really well!

20.01.2022 Nourishing Bites is Certainly A Family Affair Who do you think these talented bliss ball rolling hands belong to? Yep, that's right they are Dan's (my husband's hands) - our original Chief Bliss Ball Roller. After working on his PhD all day, Dan used to come into the PCYC to help me in the kitchen with everything from washing up to packing orders to bliss ball rolling (and he was good, especially if you asked him to talk about his favourite topic - maths!!!). In fact, Anne o...ur Head Baker was impressed when he came in to do some rolling for a photo shoot and would happily accept him into our team!! Fortunately we've grown past the late, crazy nights at PCYC with Dan, my Mum, Mother in Law and have a great team producing them in our own commercial kitchen. But Dan and our family are still very much involved behind the scenes and always supporting our passion for making wholesome, delicious treats for you. Dan is our Company Secretary and we review the finances and talk through all of the major decisions together, my parents are always there to help me work through all manner of challenges and have helped us through some financial hurdles, my awesome Sister-in-Law Tamsen helps out in the kitchen and is always promoting our business and my Mother-in-Law Syl jumps in to look after PJ when we need her. Not to mention PJ who always tells me our treats are the most amazing in the world and absolutely loves serving our customers at The Nook. Nourishing Bites may have originally been my idea but it is the support and encouragement of my amazing family that makes it all possible and keeps my passion alive. With gratitude, Shelley xx

15.01.2022 WE NEED YOUR VOTE ON OUR CHRISTMAS OFFER PLEASE! It's hard to believe it's already September!! Christmas is just 15 weeks away which means that preparations for our special NB Christmas offer have already begun! We would really appreciate your help to decide on our offer this year. Last year our mixed Christmas treat boxes were super popular but we'd like to know what you'd prefer this year:... a) Mixed Christmas treat boxes with a mixture of our best unpackaged Christmas treats (eg choc hazelnut Christmas trees, gingerbread cookie stars, chocolate bark etc). We loved making them for you last year, our main concern is transporting them given freight is moving slowly this year due to COVID-19. They also need to be refrigerated straight away. OR b) A North Queensland chocolate hamper box filled with individually packaged items you can choose from a selection of NB chocolate bars, chocolate coated fruit and nut mixes, rocky road, bliss balls, make-at-home mixes. This would be easier to transport but it would be difficult to include popular items like our choc hazelnut Christmas trees. Please comment below with your preference (a or b) of what you'd like under your tree this year and any other ideas or suggestions Thanks so much for your input! Shelley xx

14.01.2022 NB's CHRISTMAS OFFER IS LAUNCHING TOMORROW! We are super excited about launching this year's Christmas offer tomorrow. We will be offering last year's favourites again (read: amazing choc hazelnut Christmas trees and gingerbread cookie stars are back on the menu) and introducing this new luxurious hamper of festive goodies that will impress the most discerning of foodies. Better still, they are made from high, quality wholesome ingredients and cater for the key dietary consid...erations being 100% gluten free, dairy and soy free, refined sugar free with many vegan options. If you want to gift your loved ones, clients or colleagues something unique and special, look no further than our lovingly (and locally!) handcrafted gift packs. We have a broad range to cater for all budgets and requirements. They will be available for pre-order from tomorrow for delivery / pick up in the week commencing November 23 up until December 23. Stay tuned!! #supportlocaltownsville #supportsmallbusiness #nourishingbites #tsvshines #tsvdelivery #australianhandmade

13.01.2022 WEEKLY BUSINESS SHOUT OUT - OTTO'S FRESH FOOD MARKET // This evening I am really excited to express my gratitude for the incredible support Don and Sandra Peel and Julia and her cafe team at Otto's Market Warrina have given our business over the past 7 years We started Nourishing Bites as a market stall at the Sunday Cotter's Market back in 2013. I was really excited about introducing the gluten and dairy free treats I'd created for my family but wasn't sure whether our com...munity was also wanting something like this. So a market stall was a sensible first step for us though unlikely to lead us too far. Not only were my friends and family amazingly supportive, we were really lucky to quickly attract a loyal following of wonderful customers (most of whom still back us today) and the interest of the Otto's team in our products. After inviting me to meet the management team to share my products and passion for offering wholesome treats that also catered for the key dietaries, the team generously offered to sell my products in their store. Fast forward to today and the Otto's team are our oldest, largest and most loyal retailer of our treats. We are beyond grateful for the opportunity they have given us to serve our community via their network of stores. Don and Sandra's commitment to supporting local Townsville businesses is remarkable and in our case, has altered the trajectory of our business Otto's Market Warrina and Otto's Market Precinct proudly stock the full range of Nourishing Bites treats which means they can be quickly and easily purchased almost everyday of the year. The team are also very conscious of and trained in handling our treats with the utmost care to ensure no cross-contamination of allergens. Shelley xx

11.01.2022 Hands up if you're coming for brekkie at The Nook tomorrow? We are really happy that it's Friday, not only because it's almost the weekend but we also get to see many of you, our lovely customers tomorrow. I know it probably sounds corny but my main reason for setting up The Nook was so we can regularly connect with our wonderful NB community. We are really happy with how our space and menu have evolved this year, despite the challenges of COVID-19. We are really proud of the... recent renovations and can't wait to keep up-levelling it. Our menu has grown so much since we started with coco gelato bowls and treats back in 2018. Now, as well as many more delicious, guilt free sweet options such as our buckwheat pancakes we have a great range of savoury options. Our smashed avo with macadamia fetta on our house-made GF/DF is definitely one of your favourites. Recently, our new build your own breakfasts where you get to choose from a range of delicious savoury options is quickly becoming the go-to-brekkie for many of you. We still have some places if you're keen to do brekkie with us at The Nook tomorrow morning. Simply send me a text to 0414 401 744 with your name, number of people and time of arrival and we'll sort the rest. Have a great night! Shelley xx

06.01.2022 WEEKLY BUSINESS SHOUTOUT - FAMILY LIFE ORGANICS // I am really enjoying writing our weekly business shoutouts. It feels so lovely to be able to publicly express our gratitude for all the amazing support we receive from our loyal retailers and suppliers. This week I would like to recognise the support that Matt and Luke and the team at Family Life Organics have generously given Nourishing Bites since they opened back in 2014.... Right from beginning they have demonstrated a strong passion for supporting local products like ours. Over the years, Matt and Luke have sold our brownies and banana muffins at the front counter, gift packs for special occasions, make-at-home mixes and most recently Heavenly Hazel. In fact, FLO is the biggest retailer of Heavenly Hazel outside of The Nook, our cafe. Not only do the guys sell our products but they help us behind the scenes with sourcing ingredients and freight. As a family, we visit Family Life Organics on an almost daily basis. We love the friendly, welcoming feel and their products suit our dietary requirements perfectly. PJ feels so welcome and comfortable that he runs around greeting everyone like he owns it! Shelley xx #supportlocaltownsville #tsvdelivery #tsvshines

04.01.2022 Tell me, what is your favourite way to enjoy Heavenly Hazel? One of the things we love most about Heavenly Hazel is just how versatile she is. We ran a Heavenly Hazel survey earlier in the year and it was SO interesting to read all the different ways she is enjoyed. Like us, many of you find it hard to go past spooning it straight out of the jar (or tub!) But you have also found so many cool ways to up-level your dishes with Hazel magic. Like mixing her into smoothies, cakes... and cookies, hot drinks and acai bowls, topping your favourite desserts and granola with Hazel, spreading her on your favourite toast and dipping your fruits into Hazel for a great chocolatey snack. Just so much yum!! Two of my lovely young team members Alina Konavalov and Ashleigh Richardson made this great video clip about how delicious and versatile is Heavenly Hazel in late 2018. They had so much fun creating it and did such a great job that I just had to re-run it as part of our Heavenly Hazel birthday celebrations. Enjoy x #supportlocaltownsville #nourishingbites #australianhandmade #tsvdelivery #tsvshines

02.01.2022 HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY HEAVENLY HAZEL!! We are so excited to be celebrating Heavenly Hazel's 3rd birthday this month. Growing up, I absolutely LOVED Ferrero Rochers. So when I started on my wholesome eating journey I felt very determined to create my own version of choc hazelnutty goodness that was not only rich and decadent but also packed full of wholesome, high quality ingredients.... I am so proud of our creation and want to recognise what an important contribution Hazel makes to our offer. Not only is 'she' available to purchase in jars but she's the fudgy centre in our best selling choc hazelnut truffles and also the star ingredient in our Christmas trees and Easter eggs as well as many of our Nook cafe creations including our chocolate coco gelato bowls, pancakes, banana bread and Hazel toast. In fact, Hazel was in the centre of our truffles long before she got her own name and branding. The idea was actually inspired by a customer telling me that she could eat the centre of our truffles for days.. thank you ! To celebrate, we offering you 15% off the recommended retail price of our Heavenly Hazel jars (and tubs!) until the end of September. To redeem this awesome offer, simply jump onto our online store (www.nourishingbites.com.au/onlineshop) to purchase Heavenly Hazel and enter the discount code 'hazel15' at the checkout. If you are in Townsville, you can also pop into the Nook to grab yours. Hip Hip Hooray! Shelley and the NB team #supportlocaltownsville #nourishingbites #australianhandmade #tsvdelivery #tsvshines
