Whilst we are high in saturated fats, the main source of fats in our bars are cocoa butter & coconut oil which have a host of benefits. It’s a good source of vitamin D, and when combined with cocoa powder that’s high in polyphenols, it produces a product that has health-promoting benefits. It may help improve insulin resistance and heart health. Both fats are hi in oleic acids and coconut oil is the original MCT oil.

Our bars contain an ingredient called Inulin (Chicory Root fibre) which is high in soluble fibre and is prebiotic in nature – which supports gut and overall digestive health with anaverage of 6g of fibre per item in our range.

sugar, lucuma and a small amount of rice syrup.

All chocolate have ingredients that originate from plants. However, most chocolate also contains dairy which is derived from animals. The difference with Prodigy is that we only use plant-based ingredients in our chocolate, with no animal derived ingredients. Plant-based is a phrase often used to describe foods and other products that are made from ingredients solely derived from plants and contain no animal based products and are thus vegan friendly.

All our chocolate bars are completely gluten free. Our Chocolate Eggs do NOT contain any gluten but are produced in factories that may contain traces of gluten and thus are technically not gluten free. Our biscuits are wheat free, however contain gluten. Please refer to our product pages for individual information for each product.

Being a small business we haven’t as yet performed clinical trials however our bars are sweetened 100% naturally with lucuma fruit, coconut sugar and rice syrup to ensure they’re always refined sugar and artificial sweetener free. We’ve had great feedback from diabetics who eat Prodigy, and its worth pointing out that our bars are high in fibre and have less than 20% sugar content – this means a slower/more gradual release of sugar into the blood stream and thus a lower glycaemic index as compared to mainstream chocolate with refined sugar, glucose syrup, etc. . We encourage everyone to always check with your doctor and please refer to our product pages for individual information for each product.

Depending on the level of restriction you’re following, our range may be able to fit with a keto diet. Please refer to our product pages for individual information for each product.

As a start, our wrappers are 100% compostable but we wanted to go further. In April 2021 we announced a partnership with rePurpose Global to help counter the pollution of plastic and to start clearing up after the big players of the chocolate industry. That means for every single Prodigy bar sold, our funding removes the equivalent of 10 ocean-bound wrappers of plastic waste from the environment. Learn more about our work with rePurpose here

Our wrappers are completely compostable. The material is cellulose and carries the NatureFlex brand name - it’s made from sustainably sourced wood pulp and looks like plastic, acts like plastic, but is 100% biodegradable and compostable.

Please dispose of your wrappers along with your food or garden waste and NOT in your recycling bin.

Our 'Natureflex' wrappers are certified compostable to the British and European Standard BS EN 13432. These tests involve industrial composting to demonstrate that after 12 weeks no more than 10% of material fragments over 2mm can remain. Here is a video which shows the composting breakdown of Natureflex wrapper material.

Please dispose of your wrapper along with your food or garden waste and NOT in your recycling bin. We recognise not every council supports kerbside collection for composting yet, however new legislation is expected to require all councils to offer biodegradable and compostable collection from the kerbside in 2023. In the meantime, we continue to believe that plastic-free wrappers are a step in the right direction, so please support us by disposing responsibly.

Please note the wrapper for our Salted Caramel Chocolate Egg should be placed in recycling.
