Deliciously Ella

We’re thrilled to share that our Roasted Peanut Protein Ball has arrived at Waitrose & Partners, Ocado Retail, Whole Foods Market and Zapp! Fudgy and nutty, our peanut protein ball takes us back to where it all started with our original energy ball range from 2016. After hearing that our community wanted more protein options, we’ve crafted a delicious, on-the-go snack in our own kitchen. As with everything we develop at DE, we kept it simple and natural. Each ball is: 🌱 Made with just 5 simple ingredients 🌱 100% natural and plant-based 🌱 High in fibre and plant protein 🌱 Free from preservatives, emulsifiers and artificial additives We hope you love this new snack as much as we do — it's already a favourite here at DE HQ! 💚

In 2017 we launched our Apple & Raisin Oat Bar. Little did we know it would become our best-selling product ever. We’re thrilled to see them thrive both in major retailers and in brilliant independent shops. As we continue our mission to make natural, plant-based food accessible to all, we’re deeply grateful for each stockist who supports us. To celebrate all our fantastic independent stockists, we’re starting a monthly Stockist of the Month series! Kicking things off is Panzer’s Deli in St John’s Wood, London. As a family-owned business, it means so much to us to see our bars thriving in iconic local spots like Panzer’s, who’ve been serving their community since 1944. PANZER'S DELI & GROCERY, thanks for being a great stockist!

So excited to see a big shelf of our Plants by Deliciously Ella pastas and pestos looking so good in Waitrose & Partners today! Everything we do is about making healthy living simpler and easier everyday and our pastas and pestos absolutely encapsulate this. Crafted in small batches (in Italy, no less!) with just a few natural, plant-based ingredients, they’re perfect for those busy midweek moments when you need something quick and healthy. Pasta lovers, head to Waitrose to discover our Genovese Basil Pesto, Sundried Tomato Pesto, High Protein Rigatoni, Spinach Fusilli, and Turmeric Tagliolini ✨ P.S keep an eye out for more high-protein pastas coming soon!

Celebrating the DE dream team at our summer party! ✨ We’re incredibly proud of what we accomplished together this year, and our summer party was the perfect time to reflect on some amazing milestones from this summer: - 100 million products sold - 1.5 million Deliciously Ella App downloads - Great Taste Awards for our Apple & Elderflower Kombucha, Ginger, Lime & Mint Kombucha, and Salted Chocolate Dipped Almonds  - Gold at the Free From Awards for our Cacao & Orange Oat Bars, plus Silver for our Sweet Potato Crunchy Cracker Thins Keep your eyes peeled - there’s more exciting news from us in the upcoming months! A huge thank you to The Luxury Picnic Company for creating the most beautiful setting and a delicious, plant-based feast for our team!

We’re excited to see our Plants by Deliciously Ella distribution expanding! After the successful launch of our DE and Plants products onto Zapp in May, we’ve just expanded our range on Zapp to include all of our best-selling chilled Plants products. Quick, healthy dinners have never been easier! Developing a 100% natural, chilled, plant-based range had a huge number of challenges. In a category filled with UPFs, we wanted to do something different, ensuring all our products were made with kitchen cupboard ingredients only - no emulsifiers, no flavourings, no stabilisers. We’re working hard to continue to build our Plants listings and keep building on our first year’s success! ✨

WE WON! 🎉 Our Apple & Elderflower Kombucha, our Ginger, Lime & Mint Kombucha, and our Salted Chocolate Dipped Almonds have all been recognised with a Great Taste Award! Flavour is the cornerstone of all our product development, so seeing that recognised by the great taste judges is a huge win for us at DE. Especially coming so soon after our cacao & orange oat bar and our new crunchy cracker thins were awarded gold and silver at the Free From Awards for their delicious taste!

Our Chocolate Hazelnut Butter is the healthiest alternative to Nutella, according to The Times! In the article, Nutritionist Dr Federica Amati recommended alternatives for ultra-processed foods, and we were her pick for the best chocolate spread option. Our non-UPF, 100% natural (and super delicious) chocolate spread ticks all the boxes: 🌱 Full of nuts, with roasted hazelnuts and almonds making up 80% of the ingredients 🌱 Only 1.5g sugar per serving, compared to 21g in other chocolate spreads 🌱 Kitchen cupboard ingredients only On a mission to make this breakfast staple even better, we’ve spent the last few months giving it a little glow-up. To further enhance the texture, we’ve made a small tweak to the recipe, making our chocolate spread even smoother and creamier. More on all this in a few weeks!

This week our founder, Ella, was a guest on Fearne Cotton’s chart-topping wellness podcast, Happy Place. If you’re looking for some healthy living inspiration this week, have a listen! Ella and Fearne talk about making healthy living simple again, and how we move against fad diets, wacky trends and the divisive dogmatic debates that often dominate conversations on health and wellness. Do we need labels, rules, and restrictions? Is there too much pressure ‘to do it all’ when it comes to our health? Or do we just need a way to find joy in nourishing ourselves? Ella also talks about her rock bottom moments, moving out of a victim mentality and DE’s plans for the future.It’s a jam-packed episode! Listen now, wherever you get your podcasts.

Fantastic to see the love for our new granolas spreading at our recent breakfast bar at John Lewis & Partners HQ, with queues out the door and smiles all around! We’ve spent a year creating these recipes and now that we’re making our granola ourselves in the DE factory, we can happily say that they’re the most delicious they’ve ever been. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us! We’re continually grateful for all the support and enthusiasm as we continue to help more people enjoy more 100% natural food products. You can find all our granolas at Waitrose & Partners, Tesco, and Sainsbury’s, as well as on deliciouslyella.com! 🌱
