What we leave out
What we refuse to use
Most of what makes a protein bar taste like a protein bar is the stuff we left out.
-
No added sugar
Every bit of sweetness comes from dates, raisins and real strawberries. The label reads 0g added sugars on all three bars.
-
No sugar alcohols
No erythritol, no maltitol, no xylitol. Nothing that upsets your stomach an hour later.
-
No artificial sweeteners
No sucralose, no aspartame. The fruit does the work.
-
No seed oils
No canola, no soybean, no sunflower oil. The fat comes from whole nuts, cacao butter and seed butter.
-
No fillers
No soy protein isolate, no glycerin, no gums. Nothing in there to pad the bar out.
-
No natural flavors
A label that can legally hide dozens of ingredients. You will not find it on ours.
-
No preservatives or additives
Read the ingredient list and every line is a food you already know.

Straight answers
Ingredient questions
How are your bars sweetened?
Kailo is sweetened with organic medjool dates. Simple as that. There's no added sugar, artificial sweeteners, or anything you need to google like allulose, erythritol, or maltitol.
Is Kailo made with seed oils?
Nope. Kailo bars don't contain any processed seed oils. We're all about using high-quality, clean ingredients, so you won't find canola, soybean, or sunflower oil here. Any fats in our bars come from whole food sources like nuts, cacao, and seed butter.
Does Kailo contain gluten?
We don't use any gluten-containing ingredients like wheat, barley, or rye. That said, Kailo isn't certified gluten-free (yet), and our bars are made in a shared facility.
What allergens do Kailo bars contain?
Some Kailo bars contain nuts. While we don't use dairy, soy, or gluten-containing ingredients, our bars are made in a facility that processes peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, dairy, and soy.
Please review the ingredient list and consult with your healthcare provider if you have specific allergies or dietary concerns.
Are your products certified organic?
Not yet. We use organic ingredients whenever possible and we are working to get certified as we scale. Stay tuned.
Are your products non-GMO?
Yes, all of our ingredients are non-GMO. We make sure nothing in Kailo comes from genetically modified sources.
Are Kailo products safe for kids?
Yes. Kailo products pass the parent-nutrition test, and are kid-taste approved. Don't take it from me though, here's a direct quote from my 6 year old niece, Anya: “It's yummy!”
What is the shelf life, and how should I store them?
Kailo bars stay fresh for up to 8 months. Just store them at room temp, away from direct sunlight, and you're good to go. Want to keep them fresh even longer? Toss them in the fridge or freezer. If you chill them, let them warm up a bit before digging in for the best taste and texture.
Read the label. Then taste it.
