A Word from our Founder

“I wanted a better bar. No, more than that. I wanted a bar with good nutrition and great taste. As a certified personal trainer and fitness nutrition coach, I have watched my clients and their families struggle to find ways to eat right while-on-the-go. I looked at the protein and energy bars on the market and was disappointed with their nutrition. I knew I could do better, and I did.”

Catalyst Chocolate Protein Bar
I recently tried the chocolate protein bar – it was really delicious. The macros are great since I am mindful of the carb content. You can tell the quality is there without compromising taste. Definitely one of my new go-to snacks!

Catalyst Chocolate Protein Bar
As a mom with a very busy schedule, I’m constantly on the go – running errands, working, and taking my kids to practices and activities. Many days I’m literally rushing out the door and don’t always have time to sit down for a full meal. These protein bars have been an absolute lifesaver for me. Not only do they taste amazing (which is rare for protein bars!), but the texture is actually enjoyable – not chalky or overly dense like so many others I’ve tried. What I love most is that they keep me satisfied when I’m in between meetings, in the car heading to pick up my kids, or waiting during practices. They’re packed with protein and fiber, so they really help curb hunger and keep my energy up throughout the day. For any busy mom or woman constantly juggling work, family, and life, this is such a great snack to have on hand. I always keep a few in my bag because they’ve saved me more times than I can count!

Catalyst Chocolate Protein Bar
I tried Catalyst Protein Bars and I’m impressed! It’s not your typical protein bar, it actually tasted like a delicious snack. Not too dense like other protein bars, nice texture, tasty, and kept me full for hours. And the best part? No added fillers! Just clean, simple ingredients. Long days on the road as a busy realtor call for a snack that actually works… and Catalyst Protein Bar delivers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does “High Protein” mean? How can you claim this to be true?

For a food to be “high” in protein, it must contain 20% or more of the recommended daily value (DV) per serving size. The DV for protein is 50 grams, so each serving size must contain more than 10 grams of protein to have the “High in Protein” nutrient content claim. Catalyst Bars have 20 grams of protein per bar which is twice the requirement. And, we use high-quality whey protein isolate, unlike many other bars on the market.

Are Catalyst Bars really so low in sugar?

Yes! One of our priorities was to develop great-tasting bars with no more than 5 grams of sugar and 0 grams of sugar alcohol. Our team of chefs and nutrition scientists worked through many trials to develop this recipe. The end result is a bar with high protein and high fiber, low sugar, no sugar alcohols, and of course, a delicious taste!

What is “High Fiber”?

The Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) for dietary fiber is 25 grams per day for a 2,000 calorie diet and 30 grams per day for a 2500 calorie diet. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, this translates to women taking in at least 25 grams a day, and men 38 grams a day. Catalyst Bars have 12 grams each, nearly half of the RDA.

How should I store my Catalyst Bars?

Catalyst bars are shelf-stable and do not need refrigeration. Keep them in your kitchen cabinets or pantry, and stow a few in your desk, work bag, purse, gym bag, and rucksack so you always have a delicious and nutritious option nearby.

I am allergic to nuts. Is it safe to enjoy Catalyst Bars?

No. If you have a peanut allergy or tree nut allergy, PLEASE DO NOT TRY CATALYST BARS. We do our best to make it clear on our website and packaging that these bars contain peanuts and/or tree nuts.

Do you ship internationally?
