Living in Tasmania has forged who we are. That’s why focussing on the ‘small’, the meaningful and the personal will not only be a constant for us, it will be our engine.
Whether it’s the products we stock, the suppliers we choose, the staff we employ, or the people who we will have the privilege of calling our customers, we want everyone to share our core principles:
That quality is better than quantity.
That purpose and meaning come before profit.
That real world connection is better than online connection.
That we should all be determined in making our island and the world, a little better.
Thank you to all those people who have been on our journey so far, and to those who have contributed and connected to us. We can’t wait to start to share Collide with you.
Millie & Matt
Products
Bulk wholefoods
We believe our products are fresher because we order smaller quantities and focus on how we store, not just how we present our produce. We also try to remove as much plastic in our storage and delivery process, and we buy Tasmanian where we can.
Smoothies
Smoothies used to be a novelty, now we find them generic. We’re fixing that because the ingredients and the combination of a Collide smoothie have been obsessed over, in detail.
Collide bowls
Our granola and smoothie bowls aren’t just a carbon copy fad. They’re a Tasmanian version, generous in their ingredients – and fulfilling. And they’re something that we know once you try, you’ll be back for more.
Nut butters
Our small batch nut butters are made from the best nuts we can find, not the seconds. Our Macadamias are selected from a small producer whose first name we know, not a bulk wholesaler who we’ve never met.

What NOT to do when you’re going zero waste. New post on the blog. The link is on my profile AND in my story. Or if you google the daily greens I’m about 10 pages back. Still working on that on that SEO 🤯 Should have chosen a name that didn’t have anything to do with green smoothies. .
This picture doesn’t have a whole to do with the post as there is no mention of bulk stores in there, but isn’t it nice? #collidewholefoods

Now available in store....bulk Collagen Protein Powder!
We got sick of seeing our favorite collagen in packaging so we decided to do something about it!
Collagen is one of the most essential and most abundant proteins in our body. It is found in the muscles, bones, joints, skin, blood vessels, digestive system and connective tissue. There are huge benefits to collagen consumption as this protein is what helps give our skin strength and elasticity, along with replacing dead skin cells. When it comes to our joints and tendons, the easiest way to explain it, is it’s the building block that helps the body repair and the glue that holds the body together!
It is completely odourless, flavourless and will dissolve in hot and cold liquids making it perfect to add to a glass of water, your morning cuppa, coffee, smoothie or even add it to your go-to treats!
We’re playing around with some new smoothie flavours to add to the summer menu! ☀️ 🙌🏻 What’s your fav combo? We’d love to hear your thoughts xx
Our gluten free Bircher muesli is packed with the most delicious ingredients! Dehydrated Tasmanian strawberries, mulberries, dry toasted almonds, dry roasted cashews, Tasmanian walnuts, Brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, LSA, chia, cacao nibs and a touch of cinnamon! ✨
Have you tried our Australian Naturally Dried Fruit Mix? This mouth watering blend is the creation of Muppi and Cameron from a farm up in South East QLD. The fruit is naturally dried and free from preservatives making them the perfect little treat! .

Did you know we use over 1/2 a cup of Tasmanian organic blueberries in our blueberry smoothies! ...add a little hemp or collagen protein and they’re the perfect afternoon pick me up!
We get asked regularly what the sweet, sweet delight is that tops our smoothies... and here it is...organic coconut butter AKA coconut crack! We always have some stocked in the pantry and the kids think it’s a total treat! One up to us as it’s just pure organic coconut meat 🥥🙊
.
.
Recipe below from livinbondi for her go-to toasted version:
.
.
Ingredients:
.
.
A heap of coconut flakes or shredded coconut - as much as you can fit in your food processor... I use roughly 6–8 cups. It only yields a small jar when processed. .
.
Method:
.
.
Preheat the oven to 180 and line a baking tray with baking paper. .
.
Spread coconut on to the tray in a single layer if possible, place in the oven to toast for 10–15 minutes, turning every 5 minutes. It's really important you watch it here as it burns extremely easily.
.
.
Place into a food processor and blend until liquid! It's best done while the coconut is still hot. .
.
Transfer to a jar and store at room temperature, not in the fridge!
.
.
Note: You'll find some parts of the tray brown much easier, just be sure to mix these bits up when you turn the flakes every 5 minutes. Don't worry if some parts are still white, they still have a toasty flavour, I actually think it makes the end product better when you have variations in "toastiness".
.
.
The baking paper is not an essential step, BUT trust me you will thank yourself when you have to transfer hot coconut into the bowl of the food processor. Just pick up the paper and funnel it in... so much easier and you won't end up with coconut all over the kitchen floor.
The two favorites are on the menu today! ❤️ .
.
Raw Mediterranean bites with herbed feta (optional), hommus and a rainbow salad! 🌈

Zucchini noodle, rocket, slow roasted tomatoes, roast pumpkin, chili pine nuts, tossed in our delicious dairy free pesto 🌿
Here’s a cheeky little cookie recipe for your weekend... ❤️ 🍪 .
We first heard about this recipe from mattybooth_1 when he came in store to get the goods! Curious as to what he was making he sent us the recipe and we couldn’t resist to try it out! We made 2 batches, one as per the recipe (with slight changes to the sweeteners) and the other we converted to a GF recipe! So if you’re after a little baking day with the kids or in need of a desk treat for the week, this is the cookie for you! Below is our GF version...
.
All ingredients available in store (other than the butter)
.
Recipe and photo adapted from Great British Chefs: Urvashi Roe’s Cacao Nib Flapjack Cookies
.
INGREDIENTS: .
* 100g of unsalted butter
* 1 tbsp of organic maple syrup * 100g of GF plain flour * 150g of almond meal (may need more almond meal if dough is too soft)
* 50g of organic coconut sugar * 50g of organic desiccated coconut
* 3 tbsp of organic chia seeds
* 3 tbsp of organic cacao nibs
* 1/2 cup organic dried cranberries (sultanas or chopped dates)
* 2 tbsp of boiling water
* 1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
.
METHOD:
*
1
Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3 and grease 2 baking trays
2
Melt the butter in a wok, if you don’t have a wok use a big metal bowl over a pot of simmering water - this is purely to save on washing up! *
3
Meanwhile, measure out all of the dry ingredients and set aside
4
When the butter had melted, add the maple and stir it in well. Add the boiling water, then quickly add the bicarbonate of soda and whisk in. It will start to foam and fizz up – this is good. Quickly add the dry ingredients and mix it all together
5
Take a handful of the mixture, roll into a ball and place the onto one of the greased baking trays. You need to leave a few centimetres of space between the balls so about 6 to a tray should be enough
6
Bake for about 20minutes until the balls have flattened into a disc and are still a little soft keep an eye on them so they don’t start to darken.
.
Have fuuuun and don’t forget to BYO containers, use one of our donated jars, recycled bags or purchase I store xx
We’ve got a serious nut butter addiction around here, put it on anything and you’ll be transported to nutty heaven 😁 🌼 We’ve premade you dry roasted peanut butter, ABC (almond, brazil & macadamia), and macadamia & cashew. You can also byo jar and use our machines to make your own peanut or almond butter. Please use our salting facilities to make it just the way you like it 🖤
