Big on Taste, Short on Waste: Matisse & Jack?s Introduces Homemade Energy Bar Mix
San Francisco, CA (ContentDesk) June 2, 2005 -- Matisse & Jack's LLC, has launched a new product that is an alternative to the ever popular energy bar.
And no, it is not just another bar.
The Bay Area company has created a ?Homemade Energy Bar Mix' that is easy to bake at home, yielding a pan of 12 freshly baked bars.
The product is much more economical and eco-friendly than pre-packaged energy bars?but the real kicker is that it actually tastes like a homemade, oven-fresh treat.
???According to company founder Sarika Singh, the freshly baked aspect of Matisse & Jack's is a stand-out feature: "A product that makes your kitchen smell like cinnamon and apples and comes straight from the oven has an undeniable persisting appeal, even in this era of pre-packaged foods.
Our product makes this experience easy, convenient, and nourishing. Even busy athletes like the bars because they are so easy to customize with various ingredients." Matisse & Jack's can be used as a healthy alternative to sugary baked desserts as well as to pre-packaged, often stale tasting energy bars.
The mixes contain wholesome ingredients like organic oats, dried fruit, organic flax seed, and quality chocolate; the bars can be prepared in a variety of ways according to individual preference (e.g. dairy-free, lower sugar, and even an "energy cookie" variation).
Each serving provides a healthy dose of protein (up to 12g) and contains a significant amount of Omega-3 EFAs (650-1000 mg).
One 16 oz. bag makes 12 bars equal in weight to the most popular pre-packaged bars and costs less than half the price.
A 2003 skiing trip to Lake Tahoe inspired this idea-- Singh noticed a conspicuous energy bar wrapper littering the snow-covered landscape.
She decided that wrappers (especially non-recyclable energy bar wrappers) just didn't fit into the outdoor experience, despite their popularity there.
Recalling the homemade healthy snacks that her mother baked while growing up in rural Virginia?she knew that there was a better-tasting, and wrapper free alternative to the mediocre energy bars on the market.
Believing strongly that most nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, and food-lovers would agree, she set out to develop an alternative.
Singh enlisted the help of two friends with complimentary skills and soon a company was born, along with the motto: "Forget the Wrappers, and Go for the Batter!" The three enthusiastic founders spent over a year perfecting the formulation of the ?Cranberry Discovery' and ?Chocolate Amazon' versions of the product, and made sure the final packaging was recyclable.
Matisse & Jack's is now available in stores around the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and online for nation-wide shipping.
The company is also partnering with the Bay Area's premier trail running organization, Redwood Trails (http://www.RedwoodTrails.com) to promote this eco-friendly and tasty alternative to energy bars.
"We supply our aide stations with fresh-baked Matisse & Jack's and the response from our athletes has been outstanding," remarked Eric Gould, race organizer for Redwood Trails.
"The energy bars are hands-down the best tasting we've had.
This was the first time that there have been no leftover energy bars at one of our races.
Personally, I was also very pleased that there was so little clean-up after the race thanks to the absence of wrappers."For store locations, online sales, or to request samples, visit: http://www.MatisseAndJacks.comFor press images, visit: http://www.MatisseAndJacks.com/press/Sidebar: The Truth About TrashIn 2003, energy bar wrappers alone accounted for approximately 7.6 million pounds of non-recyclable trash.
