Before Thunderbird Energetica existed, one of its founders, Katie, had a problem to solve: she was training for the Ironman World Championships with a severely sore and inflamed knee, and she found that the artificial ingredients in so many available nutritional products only made it worse. She and her husband experimented with various ingredients to make their own bars with entirely natural ingredients that didn't provoke her injury, and the result turned into Thunderbird Energetica Bars. The rest, as they say, is history. So what's the connection between a knee injury and organic ingredients? The body requires proper nutrition to heal, to train, and to recover, and the synthesized proteins and sugars in lots of the products out there not only impede the body's ability to heal itself, but can irritate it in the process. Thunderbird Energetica bars are made from nature's most nutrient-dense ingredients, and being that each ingredient is entirely raw (never heated above 115 degrees Fahrenheit), they retain all of the natural enzymes that are normally broken down when cooked. Your body can thoroughly utilize the entire bar, as opposed to the small percentage of the ingredients in many of the market's artificially-sourced bars. The bottom line: a small bar that packs a big punch. Thunderbird Energetica Bars are mostly fruit- and nut-based. They are sweeter in taste and have higher glycemic levels for a more immediate, less sustained boost of energy when compared to the company's line of Gather bars. Each bar comes in a 100%-compostable wrapper. All flavors are free of GMOs, agave, soy, gluten, and are vegan. Bars come in boxes of 15 and are available in six flavors: Sweet Lemon Rain Dance, Hyper Hawaiian Crunch, Cherry Walnut Crunch, Cashew Fig Carrot, Cacao Hemp Walnut, and Almond Cookie Pow-Wow.

Zydeco Bar was created as an alternative snack or breakfast food for on-the-go consumers who want not only nutrition and energy, but great taste. We incorporated many of the ingredients native to the South - sweet potatoes, pecans and molasses - which have been used in recipes for generations. The result is a bar rich in texture, vitamins, and nutrition - and one that provides a good source of fiber so often lacking in the diet of the on-the-go consumers.

The memory of sugarcane fields blazing orange-red on crisp fall evenings and the sweet smell of freshly pressed cane syrup drifting from the local mill inspired the creation of the Zydeco bar. The wholesome goodness of family, food, and celebration is woven into the social fabric of the Louisiana culture, and is in part, why we created the Zydeco Bar.

Specifically: “Your products do not meet the requirements for use of the nutrient content claim ‘healthy’ on a food label,” FDA compliance director William Correll said in a letter to the company made public today.

Under FDA regulations, only foods with less than one gram of saturated fat per serving can legally be branded as "healthy." Not a good look for the aforementioned Almond & Coconut, which comes with five grams per serving—more than a third of the American Heart Association's recommended daily intake.
