Amazon has accomplished some amazing feats. As business owners ourselves, we admire how the company has scaled to such dizzying heights. They can seemingly do anything. And that’s why we optimistically believe they’ll soon learn how to solve their massive carbon emissions problem. But in the meantime–while we await progress– we can no longer sell...

Here at Unwrapp’d HQ, business partners became workout partners.  In January, Tom and I started running together, and have increased our mileage with each successive month.  In response to the stay-at-home orders, we created our own home workout involving pushup variations, crunches, wall sits, and lifting Home Depot buckets filled with water, all to our...

We listened to your comments, and we’re excited to announce the launch of our first all-seed product: Pumpkin Spice Protein Bites!  Packed with pumpkin seeds, squash seed protein, and warming spices, Pumpkin Spice Protein Bites are a delicious fall snack for long-lasting, plant-based energy.  We couldn’t have created Pumpkin Spice without some stupendous seeds, so...

Amino Acids:...

Odds are that when you pick up a protein bar it will contain whey or egg white protein as a primary ingredient. However, like the great Bob Dylan said, “the times they are a changing.” More and more people are trading in their traditional animal-based protein sources for plant protein sources such as pea protein....

People always ask if our energy bites contain grains.  They don’t. And here’s why. While whole grains have been lauded as nutritious thanks in part to some serious political lobbying, they can cause frustrating reactions for many.  Take Tom (one of our co-founders): he had been eating whole grains as part of his diet for...

Give a mouse a sugar-free cookie and he’s going to want… another cookie. Ok, the studies I want to share with you were performed on rats, not mice; but the point still stands. Artificial alternatives to sugar will only increase your sugar cravings. In fact, low-calorie sweeteners are so addictive that lab rats choose them...

We all know what it feels like to crash during a workout.  You feel dizzy, tired, hungry, and upset that you can’t get a few more reps in or go a few minutes longer.  Exercise is a stress on the body, as is not eating enough before a workout.  If you’re not fueling appropriately for...

I say banana, you think potassium. These two words are inextricably linked. But there’s another fruit containing nearly double of this important mineral and electrolyte by weight than bananas: dates. For those still wondering what potassium truly is and why we need it, here’s a quick primer. Potassium is a mineral that works with fellow...
