Talk about this Grommet
You + You Baristas = Yummy
When we began making customized nutrition bars for the rest of our family and
friends, the response was great. (Dad didn't even mind the messy kitchen!)
We learned we weren't the only ones fed up with eating mass produced bars.
Almost everyone we knew lit up at the possibility of creating bars tailored
to their own tastes and dietary dreams. You Bar was born.
We've been making our own nutrition bars for over two years, and now you can,
too. Try creating your own nutrition bar. It's fun, easy, fresh and most
important tastes like you want it to with the nutritional content that you
choose. You are what you eat (as Nana used to say), so choose wisely! I look
forward to reading your comments and will be checking in to answer your questions. Thanks!

What a great idea! I was hooked on a certain bar until I realized it was loaded with saturated fats, sugars, and other nondesirables. Thanks so much for making it a little easier to be healthy :-)

@Nancy...you are so right. It's amazing what gets packaged up as a "healthy" product. You Bar really puts you in the driver's seat. And....I love that this company was created by a Mother/Son duo....we don't see that very often. I think I sense a trend developing though. (Or maybe it is wishful thinking, since I have three sons I'd be happy to work with some day down the road.)

So true! I was shocked to see the sugar and carbs in most of the popular bars. Great find.

Wow! What a great idea! I've always been the type of person who is a bit of a picky eater, and when I heard about these, I just thought--it's perfect for anyone and everyone who tries it!

I just ordered and the process is simple. Before starting I was wary of needing to make each of the choices. But at each step they provide advice and recommendations. Can't wait for my bars to come in. They also offer gift certificates.

This would be fun as a special team bar for kid's sports!

OK, Joanne, I have to confess (my Catholic guilt!), I WAS THE ONE who snuck the You Bar(s) out of the box that you used on the video. It was one of those days... already had had a full day before I got to Grommet, left my lunch on the kitchen counter... you've been there. SORRY!! But I have to say, these bars are really delicious. Satisfying and healthy tasting.

@Katherine...great idea! We've also heard that customized You Bar's are great for goody bags at all types of events...conferences, parties, outings.

I have been playing around with creating my own bar - but am second-guessing how it will taste...maybe I need to start by trying some favorites...love the idea.

Is it possible to design a nut-free, wheat-free bar?

Are you the same gentleman that I saw pitch his product on the TV show, "Shark Tank"? If so, I thought your idea was wonderful and couldn't wait to locate your website so i could pass it along to others that would be i nterested in your product.

@Grandmaof2 this is a different company from the one that was featured on "Shark Tank". However, they are doing the same thing and have that same amazing entrepreneurial gumption that made the Shark Tank competitor such a standout! Not only does You Bar allow you to customize your own energy bar right down to the label, they have expanded their line so that you can create your own customized Trail Mix and Shakes as well! As affirmed by the Sharks, this is truly a great product concept!

Thanks for all of the great comments and questions. Katherine is correct; we were not the company that was on Shark Tank, however, it was a great segment and we found it fascinating to hear what the sharks had to say about the custom nutrition bar industry. We would love to hear from you with any ideas you might have on the industry or how we could improve/grow our business. Thanks again for all of your support.
We've been making our own nutrition bars for over two years, and now you can, too. Try creating your own nutrition bar.
