If protein is one of those nutrients you know you need more of, but aren’t always sure how to get it, let us introduce you to Kodiak. No matter what you choose—from waffle and muffin mix to instant brownies—there’s a hefty dose of protein inside every serving. Of course, it’s always ideal to get your protein fix from foods like buckwheat, eggs, quinoa, seafood, and hemp seeds, but sometimes we need a little help from products that do double-duty. You can think of Kodiak like your secret weapon in the kitchen. After all, it was started by a mom who got her first sales going door to door in her neighborhood. Today, the entire family still develops every new product with love.

The History of Kodiak Cakes

In 1982, founder Penny Clark sent her then eight-year-old son through the neighborhood with a red wagon and bags of her dad’s heirloom pancake mix. That was the beginning of a business that remains family-owned and operated in Utah’s Wasatch mountain range. In addition to responsible sourcing for all of its ingredients, the brand takes a special interest in a local resident: the region’s bears. In addition to making it easier to eat wholesome meals around the family table, preserving grizzly habitats is high on Kodiak’s list of priorities.

Kodiak Company Mission

With its line of protein-filled products, Kodiak is inspiring people to eat healthier every day. Inspired by the diet of frontier explorers who ate meals rich in protein, fiber, and carbohydrates, Kodiak is for anyone who’s a pioneer at heart (or just wants to enjoy some added nutrients with every meal.)

Benefits of Kodiak

Kodiak makes its products with whole grains and high-quality proteins. In addition to offering its good-for-you ingredients, this brand is heavily invested in conservation, specifically for bears. It’s believed that when bears settle into a habitat, it’s always a sign of a healthy ecosystem where food is abundant to forage. Kodiak says it feels a kinship to these animals because, for the founders, a stocked pantry is also a sign of a healthy family. Each year, the brand donates part of its profits to conservation efforts for today’s frontiers.
