THE GAME CHANGER

In 2009, we opened our doors at a very
SMALL STOREFRONT WITH A VERY BIG IDEA.
Instead of fast food, we’d serve fast fuel: shakes that were
delicious, nutritious and protein-packed.

It was a success from the start but quickly became something even bigger...
A GAME CHANGER.

So we discovered quinoa and expanded the menu to serve a full selection of
high-protein salads, wraps, and bowls customizable for all diets. The all-day
power of protein grew in popularity.
IT'S ALL GOOD.

All these years and successes later, we never forget where we came from.
We started a protein-powered movement from that small storefront, and
WE'RE STILL GOING STRONG.

JOIN THE PROTEIN POWERED MOVEMENT.
