Our Story: The Journey to Healthy, High-Protein Chicken Nuggets

From unhealthy freezer snacks to a new way of fueling life

I’ve always loved nuggets. But every bag of frozen nuggets I found was the same story: fried, low in protein, and packed with calories. That’s when I decided to create protein-packed chicken nuggets that fuel workouts and fit an active lifestyle.

From Nugget Fanatic to Nugget Maker

THE “EUREKA” MOMENT

One day in the frozen aisle, I realized the “highest-protein nugget” wasn’t even chicken—it was plant-based. That was the moment I knew the market was broken. The world needed real chicken nuggets with 30g protein per serving.
