Lola Snacks

Lola Snacks are plant-based energy bars that replenish lost probiotics and improve your gut’s microbiome to boost immunity and give you more energy. The company is a women-owned certified business and addresses consumer gut health issues. We believe the company's unique use of probiotics + prebiotics combined with plant-based protein is an effective daily routine to maintain a good gut microbiome. The company values the importance of leading healthier active lifestyles and treating your body well through self-care and proper diet.

Lola Snacks has begun national distribution through 15,000 doors in convenience and food service. The global energy market size had a 2020 value of $13.4 billion, and more Americans are eating plant-based foods than ever (source & source).

Lola Snacks are vegan plant based energy bars enhanced with a blend of probiotics and prebiotics to promote the health of your gut microbiome. Lola Snacks is a shelf-stable energy bar, allowing it to be sold in any grab and go setting.

Lola Snacks reinvests in their community through inner-city youth mentoring programs and donating to anti-hunger programs.
