Flavours for Health

Flavours for Health is a Maltese company that sells natural, functional food and eco friendly products, mostly through its online shop, with a shop address on Triq il-Forga in Naxxar. Its pitch is simple: products made from natural ingredients with nothing artificial added, and a 'free from' range for people who avoid gluten, animal products or refined sugar.

It is listed in our directory of organic and health food businesses in Malta. For UK visitors in self-catering accommodation, and for residents who prefer to shop at home, it is an easy way to stock up on snacks, breakfast foods and sports nutrition without trailing round several shops.

Who they are and what they believe in

The business started with a single product and has grown into a varied collection of natural food and eco friendly goods. Its mission is to build a space for nutritious, functional products and to help customers live better. It looks for new brands with a good story from around the world and brings them to customers' doors, and also to some of Malta's health shops and fitness centres.

The product values are plainly stated: functional, affordable and delicious, plant based, gluten free, free of GMOs and free of refined sugar, with no palm oil. The guiding rule is that if you cannot spell an ingredient, you should not eat it. The business adds that it offers eco friendly initiatives, a quality and delivery guarantee and personal customer support.

The shop's range is described as 285 products, with items shown as in stock or sold out on the site. Anyone with an allergy or a medical diet should read each product's ingredients, which are listed on the individual product pages, because this page cannot advise on health.

Food, snacks and recovery products

The food side is organised by type: snacking, energy snacks, chocolate, savoury items, nut butters, superfoods, breakfast, movement and recovery, and vitamins. Brands stocked include Deliciously Ella, Lini's Bites, Roo'bar, Raw Sport, Purition, Bett'r, Naughty Nuts, Turtle cereals, Chilly's, Equa, Vive and Sol de Ibiza.

Breakfast is a strong suit. Deliciously Ella instant overnight oats are ready in two minutes with your choice of milk, in flavours such as peanut butter and apple and almond, and are listed as vegan, high in fibre and gluten free. Granolas include almond butter protein granola at €7.90 and almond, apple and raisin granola, plus breakfast bakes and oat bars in multipacks at €4.70.

For a treat, there are Lini's Bites bars and Pralinis, with a mixed box of twelve at €31.20 and single pieces from €2.60. Movement and recovery products cover natural protein and shakes for people who train, which suits gym-goers and walkers visiting the island.

Sustainable living and corporate gifts

A separate range covers sustainable living, with water bottles, coffee cups and food pots. Several 500ml reusable bottles are €29, with larger sizes priced higher, which is handy when you are walking in Malta's heat. Our Malta weather guide explains how hot it gets through the year, and why a bottle is worth packing.

The business also has a corporate gifts page, and its gift boxes of snacks and treats are the kind of present a company might send to staff or clients. If you want a local touch for a gift, you could pair a box with flowers from a nearby florist such as Alistair Floral Design.

Ask through the enquiry form on this page if you want details of corporate orders; the business will respond directly.

Delivery, location and getting in touch

Delivery within Malta takes one to three working days. Orders of €40 or more are delivered free, while smaller orders carry a €4 fee. A banner on the site mentions free delivery over €50, so confirm the current threshold at checkout.

The shop address is 102 Triq il-Forga, Naxxar, in the centre of the island, a short drive from the Mdina guide and the capital, which you can explore with our Valletta guide. If you are planning your trip, see things to do in Malta, and the where to stay in Malta page for choosing a base.
