“We loved the long energy cycle of ribose and wanted it to be a key component of our finished product,” says Frantellizzi. He says the “energy goal” of the bars is to offer a “focused, steady energy without jitters or a crash.”
The Superfood Chocolate Energy Bars also include cocoa polyphenols, organic caffeine extract, guarana extract, and ashwagandha. Some of the flavors currently available are pomegranate, cocoa mocha, and roasted peanut/caramel.
