About

NUTREE is one of the most innovative and promising start-up companies in the agri-food sector of Greece. NUTREE was founded in 2018 with the vision to integrate healthy snacks - which combine real, Mediterranean-inspired (mostly Greek) raw materials and authentic flavors – in everyone’s daily eating habits. Product range includes raw, vegan and gluten free energy and protein bars.

Solution & Product

One of the main innovations of the first series of NUTREE products – raw energy & protein bars – is their unique combination of high nutritional value, exceptional taste and sense of satiety, all in a premium on-the-go package with aesthetic design. The plant-based energy bars of NUTREE are 100% natural, vegan, gluten-free and they provide an instant source of natural energy through the dried fruits and nuts without the use of any additives and with no added sugar. NUTREE raw energy bars are ideal to carry at work or during journeys, whenever there is a need for high physical and mental performance.

Innovation & Scalability

What makes NUTREE special is its unique know-how in researching and developing delicious healthy snacks as well as the modern equipment it uses for their reliable production, packaging and distribution in the market. This know how gives NUTREE the competitive advantage to scale up production and design new products.

Traction & achievements

Our products can be found in more than 500 stores in Greece and exports are growing fast.
