Eat Grub’s mission

is to convince the West to embrace insects as a food source.

It's going to be a challenge, and one that we couldn’t overcome without good friends. People who love an adventure, whether it is running 10,000 miles in a year or cycling the Alps, especially when it’s fuelled by insect power. They are the revolutionaries and if you want to join them, contact us here

Jussa Loueniva Ultimate Outdoor Man

Jussa is very much in touch with nature, and as often as the seasons change so does the sport. Living in Finland, Jussa makes the most of his surroundings, smashing through snow in the winter and gliding on the water in the summer.

We got to know Jussa a little better -

"What is your sport?"

"I snowboard and ski, I also wakeboard and kiteboard and some wannabe surfing mainly... seasons change and come every season there are many different possibilities for fun, so why not enjoy them all as much as you can? =)"

"Why do you enjoy snowboarding?" 

"I feel free, get restored and just enjoy being in the moment. It is a great way to express yourself through the sport and at the same time get refreshed, forget all your worries in that moment and just go with the flow. All the different sports combine these things. particularly in snow ports you can be very close to nature. Skitouring for example allows you to take it all in and this adds to the good feeling, for me."

"What is your favourite Eat Grub product, and how to you incorporate them into your life?"

"The Coconut & Cacao bar is handy... as are all the bars, they are unique and taste delicious too! Cricket powder is rivalling the bars as my favourite, but the powder has a different usage... I eat the bars usually when I'm hungry during or after a session, it's an easy and fast way to get energy and protein in a more sustainable way. I like to use the cricket powder when I'm at home... adding a little pinch to my breakfast or snack when needed (or just for the taste) the taste gets better the more you use it, now I'm hooked!"

We are so stoked to have Jussa on board our tiny revolution, he's down to earth and loves the earth... Grub love to you Jussa!

Jessica Robson Running Addict

We're pretty sure Jessica has got all of the good vibes! The energy and positivity makes her a joy to have on board our tiny revolution.

Jessica - "I'm a London - based self - confessed running addict. Running helped pull me out of a very dark place, and my goal is now to maintain my own mental health through the act of running and help support others and themselves in the same way."

We asked the silly question - What do you love to do?Of course this was answered with "RUN!" but also Jessica loves to "lift heavy things. And eat...lots" < girl after our own hearts.

Why running? "Running was initially great for weight loss, but it soon transpired that it was the very thing that provided me with the self-efficacy and esteem that I was so desperately craving. The euphoria of runners high is fantastic, but the long-term benefits of running on my motivation levels and confidence have helped keep depression and anxiety at bay and I will be forever grateful for that."

Jessica says (in a very casual manner) she has ran marathons and is very active in the RunThrough events throughout the year. she is currently training for the Amsterdam and NYC marathons in Autumn.

Powered by crickets, Jessica's favourite bar is the Orange & Red Berry which she uses as a post work out pick-me-up.

A bit about you?

I’m a mountaineer and an ocean lover.

Climbing is my main passion but who doesn’t love some down time by the coast.

Why Eat Grub over other bars?

I think insects are a way forward in reducing the amount of methane in the earths atmosphere and I think its such a groovy way forward. I love Eat Grubs Bars and I never leave home without some.

Mark Roberts Outdoor Adventurer

We asked outdoor enthusiast Mark Roberts who he is, and what he does...

"My name is Mark Roberts I’m a Scout leader, bushcraft and survival enthusiast and all round adventurer. My main goal is encouraging children to get outside more and live by the quote Explore, Dream, Discover. I feel most at home on the mountains and hills of my two favourite areas the Scottish highlands and the Derbyshire Peak District. I’ll often sleep wild on the hills and mountains under the stars and watch the sunrise and sunset. I have slept on top of snowdon and sunmited Ben Nevis at night. I aim to expedition to Everest base camp in 2020. I am a keen mountain biker and have done several charity rides. I was diagnosed with Epilepsy when I was 17 but have used adventure, the wilderness and outdoor pursuits to manage and deal with the condition and aim to inspire people with the condition not to let it hold you back. When mountaineering it’s often hard to stop for long periods to eat so it’s best to eat little and often to keep energy high so Eat Grub products are perfect for me snacking on crickets or a energy bar mid morning are what keeps me going! I love to use my YouTube channel and blog to share my adventures and my love of cooking outside where I cook dishes in unusual awkward places to demonstrate if I can do it there you can certainly do it in the kitchen."

We'll be serving up the grub to Mark, so he can take it on the wild side!

Healthy Ronin Nutrition Blogger

A bit about me:

My name is James, and I'm a health/nutrition blogger, and founder of healthyronin.com! I take great pride in my work and have a strong passion for the content and knowledge I share. One of my favourite things in the world is nature, and for that reason, I try to promote a natural lifestyle, too!

What I love to do:

First and foremost, I love to work on my blog! Sharing the content that I create, and getting to help others is extremely rewarding!
Apart from that, my hobbies include running, cooking, reading, studying, foraging, and spending time in nature! I love to get outdoors and into the countryside, particularly with friends and family 🙂

Why is health and nutrition so important to me?
Health and nutrition is on my biggest passions to learn about, teach about, and of course apply in everyday life! In the modern world, illness and poor health are by no means uncommon. And one of the major problems is that most healthcare systems are focused almost entirely on the treatment of ailments, rather than the prevention of illness and preservation of good health and genetic wealth!

I have seen myself and those around me be negatively affected by this, and that was in part my motivation. Through many hours of study and reading, learning and applying, I have come to understand that nutrition is single-handedly one of the most misunderstood and overlooked aspects of a healthy and happy life. By creating Healthy Ronin I can help others understand the importance of eating and drinking properly, and share with them the knowledge and tools necessary to make positive changes for themselves, for others, and also for the planet!

How do I use the Eat Grub products?

My entire relationship with entomophagy so far has mostly been for healthy snacks! But, as my physical training increases, I intend to use Eat Grub products as a way to boost my energy and performance levels (particularly as those runs get longer!).

My favourite flavour / product?

Personally, I find myself with a liking for simple, yet healthy food! The raw or plain Eat Grub ingredients would be my favourite products, they're just as nature intended and are versatile! 🙂 But, the energy bars would be a good boost for future long-distance runs, for sure.
