SQRLBARS ? ! WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY ?
Ohhhhh, where to begin. SQRLBars are my baby, the first profitable feature of Pump&Crunch, created back in 2016 when I was living at home in Lafayette, LA.
What was first called “Pump&Crunch Protein Bars” and has now grown into its offish name SQRLBars, are my recipe & version of a clean and healthy energy bar!
THE STORY
I’ve never been a big fan of store-bought protein bars. There are a few that I can tolerate, but nothing I’m crazy about. I love playing and experimenting in the kitchen, so the very first version of a SQRLBar was created by doing just that. I wanted to make a protein bar the way I preferred, with ingredients & flavors I enjoyed, and that’s how a SQRLBar was born.
I threw together some ingredients in a bowl, called it a day, and shared the recipe on Instagram. I also mentioned in my post that I made quite a few and had extras to give away to anyone interested. Someone mentioned I should sell them soooo I said I’d sell them for $3 a pop. And this is how my business began. As simple as that.
People loved them. The recipe evolved with feedback given by people buying them. It all happened so fast and I had no idea what I was doing. I was up every single night making 50 bars before going to sleep – selling nearly 300-400 bars/per week at the time! At this point, I realized I had something good going on and was ready to make it an actual business.
We changed the name to SQRLBar, got official stickers/packaging, promoted it on social channels, added it to the store on the website, and here we are. It’s taken blood, sweat, and tears over the last few years to get to where we are but I’m thankful for it every day.
My goal with these amazing snacks is to eventually have them in stores all over Texas and Louisiana. We currently sell them out of Juice Bar Lafayette & Nourish Juice Bars Houston. We ship them out to people all over the country and sell them to many local Houstonians.
People call them “crack bars” because they’re THAT good! I love it.
