Anna and Sean started making food bars as meal replacements on busy days. Anna was frustrated that food was often spoiled due to poor planning and Sean lacked the necessary nutrition to fuel his day (resulting in the dreaded hangry).

Most bars just didn’t make the cut. They were filled with processed or artificial sweeteners or lacking in real food nutrients. When Anna was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, she realized just how important the food people consume is for overall health so the bars were built to be allergen friendly, anti-inflammatory and good for sensitive tummies. After two years of product development and a broken food processor along the way, Real Food Bars are the ideal mix of nutrition, taste and zero waste. 

Since starting it as a side hustle, Anna quit her corporate job to pursue Real Food Bar full-time. She loves partnering with other mission-driven businesses and seeing them succeed as well. When not selling bars, Sean and Anna love exploring the outdoors, traveling and learning together. One of their favorite quotes they live by is, “Success isn’t final and failure isn’t fatal” – Winston Churchill.
