I believed I could develop a solution and began the process of formulating my first bars. I started with a no-bake brownie recipe and substituted healthier, nutritionally dense ingredients. Over the course of several months (and many iterations), I honed in on what would become my first flavor, Alpine Start. After bringing my bars along for several adventures, friends started asking for some and if I had considered selling them. At the time, I had my hands full, but after moving back to Vancouver Washington for my first full-time engineering job, the idea was starting to make more sense. After moving back to Vancouver, I decided to commercially sell my bars.
