Health and nutrition
Baked in From the Start
At Lifestyle Bakery, creating healthy, nutritious bakery products is not just a trend we’ve jumped on – it’s been at the heart of everything we do for over 30 years. Because 62% of Australians now choose their food based on health and nutrition*. We bake for all of them.
Our Philosophy
More than Gluten-Free
The conversation around food has changed. More Australians than ever are paying attention to what they eat – not because they have to, but because they feel better when they make healthier choices.
At Lifestyle Bakery, we’ve always believed that great-tasting bread and bakery products, and genuine nutritional value, shouldn’t be a compromise. Our products are made for real tables, real people, and real appetites, not just those with dietary requirements.
What Sets Us Apart
The Nutrition Behind Every Product
Rich in Fibre
Dietary fibre is one of the most important, and overlooked nutrients in the Australian diet – and most adults aren’t getting enough of it.
Fibre supports a healthy digestive system, helps reduce cholesterol, and plays a role in stabilising blood sugar levels. Research consistently links adequate fibre intake to a reduced risk of bowel cancer, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and conditions like diverticular disease. It also keeps you feeling fuller for longer, which makes a difference to the way you eat throughout the day.
The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend adults consume 25-38g of dietary fibre per day. Our products are high in fibre – making it easier to reach that goal without changing how you eat.
Resistant Starch
Not all fibre works the same way. Resistant starch is a special type of dietary starch that behaves differently to regular carbohydrates; instead of being broken down in the small intestine, it passes through and ferments in the large intestine, feeding the beneficial bacteria that live there.
This fermentation process produces short-chain fatty acids that support gut lining health, reduce inflammation, and contribute to a well-functioning digestive system. A healthy gut microbiome is increasingly linked to broader wellbeing, including immune function and mood.
Lifestyle Bakery products use resistant starch as part of our formulation. It’s one of the reasons our bread does more for you than most.
Gluten-Free, Done Properly
For those who need to avoid gluten – whether due to coeliac disease, gluten sensitivity, or personal choice – the quality of gluten-free products matters enormously. Taste, texture, and nutritional value have historically been the trade-offs, but not anymore.
Our entire production facility is dedicated to gluten-free manufacturing, meaning there’s no shared equipment, no cross-contamination risk, and no compromise on care. When you choose Lifestyle Bakery, you know exactly what you’re getting.
With a great taste and a nutrition profile that delivers, more and more Australians are choosing our products by choice, not necessity.

Nothing Artificial,
Just Real Ingredients.
We don’t use artificial colours or flavours. What we leave out of our products matters just as much as what we put in. Growing evidence links artificial food additives, including synthetic colourings, chemical preservatives, and artificial sweeteners, to a range of health concerns.
At Lifestyle Bakery, our answer has always been straightforward: keep it clean, keep it tasty. We bake with real ingredients because we believe food should nourish you, not complicate your health.
