Introducing Kailo: An Actually Good Protein Bar
PRESS RELEASE — NEWS PROVIDED BY Sri Kalapala for Kailo
CHICAGO, IL (2025) – Say hello to Kailo, the snack bar with nostalgic flavors and zero B.S. Kailo is made for people who want real, wholesome ingredients.
Founded by Sri Kalapala, a snack lover turned founder, Kailo was born from a frustration of seeing endless protein bars claiming to be healthy but packed with artificial fillers. Kailo isn’t just another protein bar; it’s a rebellion against boring, fake-ingredient-filled nutrition. Each bar features organic, recognizable ingredients, zero added sugar, 14 grams of plant-based protein, and unique flavors.
“With Kailo, we’re proving that clean eating doesn’t have to be complicated or full of compromises,” said Sri Kalapala, Founder & CEO. “Kailo isn’t about following trends – it’s about getting back to what food should be: simple, delicious and something you feel good about eating.”
What sets Kailo apart:
No B.S. Ingredients – You don’t have to Google anything in a Kailo bar
Naturally Sweet – Sweetened naturally with dates, not artificial nonsense
Packed With Plant-Based Protein – There’s 14g+ protein in each bar
Unique Flavors – Inspired by nostalgic favorites that make healthy eating feel like a treat (Hello PB&J!)
Kailo bars will launch in three crave-worthy flavors:
Peanut Butter & Jelly – Your childhood lunchbox, grown up and cleaned up
Cacao Walnut – Rich, chocolatey goodness with a satisfying crunch
Oatmeal Chai – Cozy vibes in a protein bar
What started in 2018 as a homemade passion project, with Kalapala crafting bars for family and friends, has transformed into a mission to make clean eating effortless and enjoyable. After years of perfecting the recipe and seeing firsthand how much people loved them, Sri is finally sharing Kailo with the world.
“We’re not just selling a bar,” Kalapala states. “We’re spreading a philosophy that eating well can and should feel good.”
Kailo will be available for purchase at kailobar.com and later this month at select retailers, including Foxtrot & Fairgrounds Cafe.
