Chris Thompson had no plans to develop a healthy, tasty and 100% natural snack bar when he was travelling the world as a professional wrestler, "Chris Lightning". Yet a four stone weight loss and a shock diagnosis of Crohn's Disease, changed all that.
A new found need to eat natural food led him to discover the power of seeds. Chris explains, "I did a lot of research and was amazed at how many nutrients were packed into seeds, I wish I had discovered them whilst I was bulking up! They have everything in them to grow a plant or tree and as a real superfood I wanted to find tasty ways to get more of them into my diet." The Seed Stacked flapjack was born.
Originally Chris only made them along with other Seed Stacked creations for himself and friends, but their popularity grew. So when the chance came to enter a 'Dragons Den' style competition with Peter Jones on the panel, Chris took it - and won! Chris sourced a factory and the bars went into production and on sale at stores across the country. Exactly the same, 100% natural product, but now Chris was able to take the message about the power of seeds to the whole nation! Thankfully today Chris' Crohn's Disease is in remission and he is happy, healthy and back in training.
"Seed Stacked started life in a bid to help me become healthier and the flapjacks have had a massive impact on me personally. What has been exciting is seeing how each customer picks up the bar for a different reason. From runners and cyclists to gym goers looking for an energy boost or after workout recuperation, they are great for lunchbox fillers and perfect for an energy packed breakfast. It's been a great journey so far and I am looking forward to the future anf launching more Seed Stacked products."
