Frequently Asked Questions

Kelsi lost her mom to ALS, and her influence is woven into everything we do. Kelsi's mom was a certified raw food chef, true health and wellness enthusiast, and the person who encouraged Kelsi to launch her business 7+ years ago, almost exactly when she was diagnosed with ALS. Kelsi's donates 5% of profits to ALS as part of our mission to pay forward a mother's love.

Kelsi's was founded by two moms, Kelsi Petersen and Cassandra Hume. Kelsi is a raw-food chef and Cassandra spent her career building beauty and consumer brands. Together, they set out to create the kind of decadent treat they wanted to eat themselves and feel great giving their families: delicious first, made from simple whole-food ingredients.

Kelsi's Brownie Bites are decadent chocolate treats made with simple, whole-food ingredients. They're sweetened with dates and honey and made without gluten, dairy, soy or refined sugar. Think brownie-batter-level deliciousness, made from ingredients you'd actually recognize from your pantry. They are the perfect afternoon snack, dessert, or even breakfast!

We don't really think of Kelsi's as a protein bar—we think of them as a better way to satisfy that afternoon chocolate craving. We skip protein powders, added fibers, allulose, sugar alcohols and complicated ingredient lists. Instead, we use simple whole-food ingredients to make something that tastes genuinely indulgent.

Whole foods gone gooey.

Same decadent Brownie Bites, two sizes. Our Snack Size is one individually wrapped 0.5 oz bite—perfect for lunchboxes, purses and a little something sweet. Our Full Size is a 1.5 oz bar made up of three delicious squares for when one bite just isn't enough.

We think so—and our kids definitely do! Kelsi's was created by moms who wanted treats our own families would be excited to eat, made with the kinds of ingredients we wanted in our pantry. Snack Size is especially easy to toss into lunchboxes or bring along for busy days.
