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

From unhealthy freezer snacks to a new way of fueling life

From Nugget Fanatic to Nugget Maker

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

THE “EUREKA” MOMENT

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

The highest protein nugget I found… wasn’t even chicken. That’s when I knew the market was broken.

 Fueling Bodies. Building Community

Our vision goes beyond food. We’re creating a fitness community where athletes and everyday movers share meals that fuel performance without sacrificing taste. Not boring. Not restrictive. Fun, tasty, and healthy.
