“Primal” Rob Richards is a Certified Personal Trainer, Nutrition and Wellness Specialist, Martial Artist and Musician (drummer of course, what’s more primal than hitting things with sticks!!).
Growing up on Cape Breton Island, on the east coast of Canada I spent most of my youth hunting, fishing, trapping and spending lots of time in nature. Meals consisted of fresh sea food, meats and local produce. After moving away and spending many years living a “not so Primal” life I returned to the diet and exercise habits of my youth (sometimes older is wiser).
Trying to live a Primal/Paleo based lifestyle I found it hard to find a protein, meal replacement bar or basic snacks that were not loaded with synthetic ingredients, sugar, artificial this and that and chemical additives that a I couldn’t even pronounce ! (To be fair there are some good Paleo products out there which have been introduced in the last few years). There were lots of recipes around to make Paleo muffins, cookies, bars etc at home but very few choices that were available commercially through retail stores or online.
I started experimenting with different formulations for protein bars, muffins, pancakes, jerky etc. I stuck to simple recipes with a few basic natural ingredients. People I shared the products with loved them and couldn’t believe there was no gluten, sugar, artificial sweeteners or other junk in them. They asked me if I could make batches for them or if I would sell them some of my own. Seeing the need for great quality, nutritious and tasty Paleo based food, I decided that time was right to share.
Primal Rob’s was born! We will continue to introduce new products as we grow and expand our product line. Our mission is to spread the word about the positive and sometimes life-changing benefits of living a Primal lifestyle.
What about Vegetarians?
Everyone is free to make their own diet and lifestyle choices and there is no one “diet” that works for everyone. Getting basic natural foods that are nutritious and health enhancing is the goal, be it from animal or plant sources or a combination of both. There were times in our past where animal protein was scarce and we survived very well on plant material.
We are happy to announce that all of our meal replacement bars are Vegetarian friendly. They are made with the highest quality hemp protein and hemp flakes and never contain any soy or dairy.
