About Rude Health:

You’ve heard about the right or wrong way to be healthy. At Rude Health we talk about the bright way. About trusting your instincts and following your taste buds. About championing real flavour over restrictions. About taking the bland, and turning it bright.

We make dairy-free alternatives for glass half-fullers and cereals for those who fill their bowls to the brim. We’re not in the business of making pale imitations of milk or bog-standard mueslis. All of our foods and dairy-free drinks have bright and bold flavours made entirely from natural ingredients, delicious enough to munch from the box or glug from the glass. Because life tastes better when you live your bright way.
