Want something tastier than a chocolate bar, healthier than a nutrition bar, and snacking that saves you time and money while supporting a healthy lifestyle? If the answer is a resounding yes then Energy Pods are the snack for you!

What are Energy Pods?

Energy Pods are a creamy and rich meal replacement product in a cup that is tastier, richer, and more expressive in flavor than a chocolate bar while capturing the nutrition of a well-formulated nutrition bar. Though a healthy snack, when it comes to taste, the Chocolate Energy Pod has gone toe to toe with world-class gourmet $15 artisan bars and put them to shame in single-blind taste tests!

Testimonials and reactions of winemakers, chefs, culinary experts, fitness coaches, athletes, and enthusiasts alike.

How nutritious are Energy Pods?

From a nutritional standpoint, Energy Pods are sugar-free, low-carb, natural, and keto-friendly, and use high-quality real, whole ingredients such as blanched almonds as the first ingredient. Blanched almonds provide the complete nutritional profile of almonds without the bitter and smokey almond skin flavor. Energy Pods are a perfect protein snack enriched with 10g of whey protein isolate which is the purest form of protein in the market and has less than 1% lactose(sugar), provides a feeling of fullness, and is the top choice of athletes when it comes to muscle gain and recovery. Since Energy Pods taste like a high-end Italian dessert, the sweetness comes from naturally occurring anti-oxidants that do not raise blood sugars or insulin levels ensuring that you feel energized and nourished without any jitters. Lastly and very importantly, Energy Pods contain gums that have been shown scientifically to potentially aid with fullness, cholesterol management, and regulating biomarkers.

How do you eat them?

Though Energy Pods can be eaten as is with the paperboard spoon that comes with them, the versatile cup form allows it to be used as a rich and decadent chocolate dip, spread, chocolate alternative, and even ice cream in the freezer. You can also create your dessert by adding in your favorite toppings such as chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, fruits, and oats, or by substituting in for chocolate syrups and sauces in cold recipes.

Who can benefit from Energy Pods?

Since Energy Pods are completely shelf stable, they can be used by backpackers and hiking enthusiasts to have compact, portable, and nutritious snacks on the go while athletes can use the protein, naturally occurring electrolytes from almonds, and nutritious fuel to use as a pre-workout fuel before or post-workout recovery meal to maximize performance and gains. Busy parents and workers can use Energy Pods as a tasty and filling on-the-go snack to save time and money from eating out, maintain a healthy lifestyle, quick energy boost during the afternoon slump, and help keep chronic diseases at bay to live an overall healthy life.

How they evolve snacking

Tastier than nutrition bars: Let’s be honest, most energy bars taste bland, earthy, or rustic while Energy Pods deliver delicious, real-food flavor that can be found in a high-end dessert

More Portable than shakes: No shaker bottles, clean-up, or refrigeration needed. Stash them in our gym bag, desk drawer, or car’s cup holder.

Healthier than chocolate bars: Get a more expressive chocolate flavor without derailing your health and fitness goals

Perfect portion control: No more mindless munching from a giant bag — one Pod is all you need.

Experience the difference

Energy Pods are manufactured in Napa Valley, California, the food and wine hub of the world. Since their conception and evolution in 2021, they have become an instant hit among chefs and culinary experts in Napa County as a culinary and health milestone, all in one.

Currently, Energy Pods are available in Chocolate and Coffee flavors from KG Food Company’s website and on the Amazon store.
