Why We Love It
We love an energy bar, and hate it when we find out that they're basically candy bars in a "healthy" costume. Kate's uses responsibly sourced whole ingredients in their bars so you can snack without worry - or a sugar crash.

How it does good
Kate's Real Food was founded to fuel adventures, and it knows that, without a healthy planet, our adventuring options would be pretty limited. They've built a company around using organic, non-GMO ingredients, grown and produced without harmful pesticides or additives. By using fair-trade chocolate in their bars, they also stand against unfair labor practices in the cocoa industry and support farmers and manufacturers as well as their communities. In their own facilities, they place a priority on recycling, and they let customers do the same with 100% recyclable caddies for all their bars. But they know it's vital to keep improving, and they're currently developing recyclable wrappers to keep their bars fresh and eco-friendly.
