“ELEVATE ME!” Energy Bars Expands with Strawberry Apple Pie

August 30, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

Vancouver’s own “ELEVATE ME! Energy bars” (www.prosnack.com) has grown again, moving into a much larger production/office facility in North Vancouver, BC.

President Trish Ellingson explains, “We started this business in our tiny apartment, then moved to a night-kitchen and then to our own facility, which was great. But recently we were bursting at the seams again, so much so that we had to lease an extra property for our offices. So we finally bit the bullet and moved to a brand new space in a beautiful new building.”

In addition the company is hiring new staff, purchasing new equipment and launching a brand new flavor: “Strawberry Apple Pie”, made simply with strawberries, apples, cranberries, raisins, dates, almonds and pure whey protein isolate. Chief Bar Maker Kurt Ellingson says, “This was a recipe we worked on for a long time, and we finally got it right. As soon as we tasted the mix of strawberries with the protein and apples we knew we had a winner.”

As a launch special, founders Trish and Earl are offering a free a box of “Strawberry Apple Pie” bars to the first 3 people who email marketing@prosnack.com with the answer to this question: “how many grams of fibre and protein are in the new bar?”

Founded in 2003, ELEVATE ME! has grown from a mom and pop operation into a successful growth company, selling several million bars in the process to health and grocery stores throughout Canada and into the United States. ELEVATE ME! Bars are popular because they are made simply with real fruit and pure whey protein. They are gluten-free, not baked, not coated.

Power to Climb 2010 Mt. Kilimanjaro Expedition

January 28, 2010 by · Leave a Comment 

This past month Elevate Me! donated some of our bars to the Power To Climb 2010 Mt. Kilimanjaro Expedition. We were very happy they chose to take our bar with them on this incredible journey:

Hi!

Hope your 2010 is off to a fabulous start! We’re back safely from Africa, and I’m happy to say that our whole team made it to the summit of Kilimanjaro! I’m also happy to say we exceeded our $150k fundraising objective! These funds will directly drive the program expansion of Power To Be and reduce waitlists, helping hundreds more underprivileged youths and families in our communities.

I wanted to thank you for all your support and providing us with the Elevate Me bars. I can say with certainty now that nutrition played a critical role in helping us all get to the summit, and your bars provided us with the nutrients and protein we needed to get to the top! You may also be interested to know the porters seemed to enjoy them as well. With a few bars left over, we decided to donate them to an orphanage in Moshi, which we visited after the climb – the orphanage appreciated the bars very much. This journey was a major life experience for each of us, and we were glad that Elevate Me was there every step of the way.

We’ll be sure to keep you posted on our next adventure, and please feel free to continue to check our site for updates
