Our story

I made these for my team before I made them for anyone else.

I'm Liv. I played volleyball in college and started OUTPLAY by accident in my dorm room. My team had so many options for protein bars, but when it came to eating before a workout, we would line up and toast a piece of bread. So instead, I started making bars for my teammates, and it exploded from there.

Then other athletes started asking for them.

I wasn't building a company. I was trying to get through two-a-days.

First the baseball players. Then my friends at other schools. Then I sent them to an NFL team.

From there it really started to grow.

This is very surreal to say.. the bars I made in my dorm, are now all over the country.

It turned out not to be a D1 problem.

The bars went to college programs first, then pro teams. But most of the people who write to us now aren't playing at that level.

A high school setter whose mom orders a case. A dad who goes to Orange Theory and needs more energy. Someone who goes on runs after work and needs a snack to get them through it.

Same problem. You're doing the work. You should have the energy to see results.

What we're building

Carb-forward should be a category, not a niche.

Protein has owned that shelf for twenty years. We think there's room for food built around the thing your body actually runs on when you move.

We're starting with a bar that tastes like a cookie.
