Kate's Real Food Energy Bars

What Your Favorite Kate's Real Food Flavor Says About You

Discover the Gluten-Free Snack That Matches Your Adventure Style

When it comes to snacks, most of us have a go-to. That one bar you always pack. The one you eat before your trail run, during your commute, or between climbs at the crag. But your favorite flavor might say more about you than just your taste—it might just reveal how you show up in the wild.

At Kate’s Real Food, every bar is made with certified organic ingredients and thoughtfully crafted to keep you going, whether on the trail, on the road, or anywhere adventure calls. And because every bar is also gluten-free, you can focus on what matters most: moving, exploring, and fueling up with confidence.

So what does your top pick from our lineup of gluten-free snacks say about you? Let’s dig in.


White Chocolate Macadamia: The Trail Gourmet

You have a refined palate and a deep appreciation for the small things, like a perfect sunrise, the crunch of fresh gravel under boots, or the way macadamia nuts add just the right buttery texture to your snack. You’re not here to rush. You believe adventure should be just as enjoyable as it is challenging.

You’re the person who makes coffee right, even at a trailhead. You might bring a real mug instead of a travel one. You know how to elevate even a simple overnight into a relaxing getaway.
