In a Rush with Gavin Memper

Gavin Memper is a professional chef with a difference. Having developed his craft in such far flung destinations as the French Alps, Kenya and New Zealand, Gavin now divides his time between private catering and developing the RUSHBAR.

Working at the 2015 ABSA Cape Epic as chef for Team Topeak-Ergon, the multi-talented Memper’s own passion for preparing healthy meals consisting of whole foods sparked his desire to develop an energy bar of natural ingredients. Enter the RUSHBAR, a product consisting of such Superfoods as Spirulina, Quinoa and Chia Seeds, to name but a few.

Not a fan of refined sugar coating, Memper reveals that finding a manufacturer was difficult, eventually striking a homerun with a factory in Cape Town. Given that the RUSHBAR was originally developed and wrapped in his own kitchen, retaining the home-based recipe and natural contents is critical to Memper, thus ensuring an authentic and healthy product.

Now available in Dischem stores, RUSHBAR’s product range includes Training, Endurance, Pregnancy, Monkey and Berry Burst options.
