Nope, we're not your typical corporation. We're the Ellingson family, and ELEV8 Me was created by our Mom! As a nutritional health food caterer for athletes and sports teams, her mission was to nourish our large family by blending an original recipe protein & energy super-booster containing only premium protein and unsulphured and organic dried fruits.
The goal was to create the world's simplest protein snack, keeping the finished food as close to what nature created as possible, with no added colors, flavors, or sweeteners. She wanted a treat that would satiate us, taste good, and contain 27% protein, naturally derived carbohydrates and low fat... plus vitamins and minerals.
She started with whole dried fruits. Our many hiking expeditions to the Rocky Mountains of Jasper and Banff taught us the energy value of unsulphured and organic apples, dates, raisins, almonds, cranberries, papaya, mango and so on. Mom then blended the trail mix with a healthy dose of whey protein to rebuild and strengthen our aching muscles.
At first these little treats were blended and served up in spherical ball form. We called them our "power balls". Demand was high and word spread among local athletes. Mom's power balls were a hit!
As a family we then incorporated as PROsnack Natural Foods Inc. and began the arduous journey of bringing our beloved products to the world. First we changed the name to ELEV8 Me™ and then the balls were flattened and served up as convenient 'cookies' in 66g triple packs.
Elev8 Me has powered us through late-nights at university, to climb mountains in Nepal, to run marathons and triathlons, carve the powder at Whistler, and fuelled one of our founding partners to become a professional beach volleyball player.
We now sell thousands and thousands to a loyal group of customers through our website and in hundreds of health/fitness retail locations. Quality is our primary concern so we prepare ELEV8 Me in small batches, taking care with each and every 'cookie'. If you're holding a charitable or sports event contact us and we can help out.
