Our Story
A few years ago, we took on a marathon-style hiking trip through Spain an experience that would unexpectedly change the direction of our lives. Preparing for long days on the trails, we packed high-protein snacks and bars to help us reach our daily calorie and energy needs. Like many health-conscious people, we turned to the “cleaner” protein bars we trusted at the time.
But after days of relying on them during the hike, we noticed something surprising: instead of feeling energized and nourished, we felt worse. Even the bars marketed as “healthy” were still packed with hidden sugars, preservatives, processed fillers, and ingredients that left us feeling sluggish, inflamed, and depleted.
That experience became a turning point for us.
As a mom-and-daughter team passionate about nutrition, holistic wellness, and active living, we’ve always believed that what you put into your body directly affects your overall well-being physically, mentally, and emotionally. Food should help you feel stronger, clearer, and more energized, not leave you crashing at the end of a hike or busy day.
That realization inspired us to create Uncommon State – Bite Me Bars®.
We wanted to make a protein bar we could truly trust for ourselves and our families something made with real ingredients, without compromise. Every Uncommon State bar is gluten free, sugar free, preservative free, and crafted in small batches using wholesome ingredients like nuts, seeds, fruits, and high-quality proteins.
For us, this brand is about more than just snacks. It’s about making intentional choices that support a healthier, more balanced life. We believe clean eating should feel simple, honest, and nourishing helping people fuel their adventures, workouts, workdays, and everyday moments with foods that genuinely make them feel good.
Uncommon State is our commitment to mindful living, purposeful nutrition, and creating products that we are proud to share with the people we love.
Alongside our bars, we love sharing simple ways to eat clean, stay energized, and live with intention. Join us, one honest bite at a time.
