About Us

As a father of four young kids, I was consuming kids apple sauce pouches.  They were convenient and provided healthy calories that energized easily before or after a run or workout.  I discovered this was common among runners, top-tier athletic departments and pro teams (and more recently: gold medal winning USA hockey players!).  But these high performance athletes do not wear kids clothes... why should they consume kids nutrition!?!?  I even saw my own kids age out of kids apple sauce pouches.  Older kids sporting events concluded with a barrage of ultra-processed snacks and drinks.

So with the help of family and friends, we created Clean Energy, the only clean label sports and energy drink, with all the benefits of a kids pouch (clean label, shelf stable, quick and easy) but the branding and diversity of ingredients (including organic flaxseed) of elite athlete nutrition.  Clean Energy offers more bioavailable energy in the short term and better long term health outcomes than the big brand, ultra-processed sports and energy drinks.  Clean Energy is endorsed by athletes, from middle school to pro, and athletic departments around the country.   Runner’s World magazine recognized Clean Energy as a "Best Fuel Before a Run."   So now I consume Clean Energy after a run or workout and my kids stopped giving me grief... for consuming kids apple sauce packets, at least.
