The Story behind the Five Plus Protein Bar
There’s something you should know about us…
We aren’t the typical protein bar company. We aren’t food manufacturers, re-merchandising drop shippers or supplement conglomerates. Believe it or not, we’re real people – a husband-and-wife team who got fed up with the available protein bars and decided to make our own.
Like you, we want to be healthy. We’re committed to aging well and living longer, but the world around us and our own health challenges made this even more difficult. Over the last 40+ years, we tried virtually every protein bar, powder and health supplement in existence, with frustrating results: Sugar crashes. Upset stomach. Unpalatable flavors. Inedible textures. Genetically modified (and highly suspect) ingredients.
There Had to be a Better Way
We decided to do it ourselves – to create a bar that features high protein and fiber while also eliminating sugar crashes and upset stomachs. A bar for real humans. For regular people trying to make healthy choices – people who may be suffering from autoimmune problems, diabetes or other health challenges.
With the help of Bridget Grover’s extensive healthcare and training background, Joel’s lifelong dedication to health and fitness, and Lynda’s experiences in functional nutrition, we were able to craft our line of delicious, satisfying, healthy protein bars.
As we continue to expand our product offerings with more flavors, varieties and nutrition for more lifestyles, our non-negotiable promises remain the same:
