Radio, TV, DJ... Eva De Roo lives a busy life with early mornings, hectic schedules, and the seemingly inevitable energy dip. The search for a snack that is tasty, without the sugar crash and without excessive gym vibes, seemed endless.
Until she met Michiel from Kriket and translated that long search into a real product: Amanda, a snack based on dates, nuts, and Belgian chocolate, with a different flavor to enjoy each time.
Eva took care of the vibe, the taste, and the colors of Amanda, and hopes to change your idea about snacks forever.
Amanda, your perfect date.
Snacking has gone off the rails. You often have two options: a classic snack bar that consists mainly of sugar, or a "healthy" snack that screams diet or marathon, and is either heavy or just doesn't taste good.
That's a real shame, because almost everyone recognizes that moment in the day when you need something: a mid-morning snack at the office, a bite between meetings, or an afternoon treat when your mind and body are both crying out for energy. The problem? That in-between choice rarely feels right. Until Amanda, that is.
Amanda occupies a very deliberate middle ground. It is neither a sports nor a diet bar. At the same time, it is not a classic candy bar either. The sweet spot: a snack that is nutritious enough to give you an energy boost, but above all, delicious enough to truly enjoy.
Every Amanda bar starts with a simple base of nuts and dates, combined with a unique flavor finish each time: peanut butter, crushed hazelnut, raspberry, or blueberry. This combination provides slow-release energy that lasts longer, making it less likely for you to experience a sugar crash. The bite remains light due to the crunch, so the bar doesn't feel heavy. The real Belgian chocolate makes all the difference.
The bars are kept intentionally simple. Amanda works with recognizable ingredients and avoids unnecessary additives. The bars are 100% natural, lactose-free, and made without palm oil. They contain no added sugars and no artificial ingredients or E-numbers. Everything is made in Belgium, with a clear focus on transparency about what is in the bar. Fun fact: Amanda is also completely vegan. Yes, vegan chocolate does exist!
With cravings done better, we have a lot to say. You decide what suits your own moment, without having to choose between nutritious and delicious. You choose a better snack made in Belgium, you choose better because they are real and pure ingredients, you choose better because you support local entrepreneurs, you choose better because you can also enjoy yourself completely vegan or lactose-free. In short: cravings done better covers a meaning that goes far beyond the flavor bomb we serve you.
You might have already seen that on the packaging. Not because we have to, but because we believe in food that is good for you and the planet. No empty words, but a binding commitment: from fair agreements with our suppliers to complete transparency in every step of the production process. Together with other B Corps, we are building a future where food is not only delicious, but also fair. Choosing Amanda means choosing products made with care for people, animals, and the planet.

An Amanda bar is a plant-based snack made from nuts and dates, finished with a crunchy texture and a fantastic layer of dark Belgian chocolate. The bars are made to provide energy without the typical sugar crash.
Amanda bars are made with pure, 100% natural ingredients like nuts and dates and contain no added sugars, artificial ingredients, or E-numbers. They are intended as a nutritious snack that provides energy throughout the day, with a smart mix of energy, fiber, and protein.
Yes. All Amanda bars are completely plant-based and contain no animal ingredients.
Amanda bars do not contain gluten. However, products containing gluten are processed on the same production line. That is why we state on our packaging: ‘may contain gluten’.
Yes! Amanda bars are suitable for people with lactose intolerance.
Yes. Each bar contains approximately 4.5% soy crisps. These are puffed soy grains that provide extra protein and a crunchy bite.
No. Amanda bars contain no added sugars. The sweet taste comes from natural ingredients such as organic dates.
The combination of dates (energy and fiber) with nuts (fiber and protein) ensures a gradual release of energy. As a result, you are less likely to experience the spike and crash associated with snacks containing many refined, fast-acting sugars.
Whenever, wherever. Amanda bars are ideal for a mid-morning snack, an afternoon treat, a post-workout snack, at the club, or in between during a busy (work) day.
Amanda bars are 100% produced in Belgium.
Amanda was developed by Eva De Roo together with Michiel Van Meervenne from Kriket. The idea was born out of the search for a snack that is both tasty and nutritious.
Amanda bars are not typical protein or energy bars, but they can be a good snack before or after light exercise thanks to their natural energy.
Amanda bars are available today in four different flavors: peanut butter, crushed hazelnut, raspberry, and blueberry. Each flavor starts from the same base of nuts, dates, and our Belgian chocolate.
Quality above all! The layer of chocolate gives the bars a moment of pure taste sensation, without them becoming overly sweet.
