Chef Maria Hines Wants to Make a Better Energy Bar | Eater Seattle

"Born from a Kickstarter collaboration with Sno-Valley Dream Factory and Maria Hines, Cynergy Foods aims to offer energy bars that are more nutrient-dense and better in texture and flavor than most commercial bars, which Hines criticizes as being like candy bars—too much sugar and not enough protein—or too dry, crumbly, or medicinal in taste. The bars come in flavors such as chocolate almond goji cherry (available in limited quantities online), chocolate raisin tahini, and yogurt berries, and prioritize good moisture, high fiber, and nutrient density with the goal of eventually expanding into larger retailers like Whole Foods and Costco." - Gabe Guarente
