We started mixing up protein bars in our kitchen because we were tired of the fake stuff in everything else. Turns out, they made people happy — like, really happy. So we thought, why not spread that joy around? That’s our mission. Simple as that.

I’ve eaten a lot of protein bars in my life. And for the longest time, I never really thought twice about what was in them—until I did. Turns out, finding one with truly clean ingredients actually kind of hard. I’m talking no preservatives, additives, added sugars, or anything with a number in the ingredient. Just a great tasting bar with high quality ingredients & lots of protein.

When I couldn’t find what I was looking for I set out to make my first bar. I thought it would take two weeks… turns out, it’s way more complicated than I expected.

But here we are. I made what I wanted to eat, and I’m really proud of it. Kailo has real whole ingredients, no added sugar and is packed with protein.

Founder, Kailo

Kailo’s not here to impress you—he just naturally does. He’s got big taste, big presence, and zero patience for the fake stuff. Other mascots do backflips. Kailo? He strolls in, grabs a bar, and minds his business. Strong. Unbothered. Probably hungry.

We get this question a lot, so here’s the scoop: it’s "KY-lo" - like "high-low" but snackable. The name comes from an ancient Indo-European root meaning healthy, connected, and whole - it’s actually where the word health comes from. Pretty fitting for a protein bar made with real ingredients that make you feel good, right? Welcome to the klub.
