our story

I'm a certified personal trainer with a deep passion for training — one that grew even stronger after recovering from multiple ACL tears. That journey back is what inspired all of this. Fitness became more than a hobby; it became the thing that pulled me forward.

But I could never find the right thing to eat before I trained. Every option was either a chalky powder or a bar packed with stuff I didn't want. I wanted something simpler — a common, nostalgic treat with my own twist. Real fuel that actually tasted good, without the chemical aftertaste.

So I made it myself.

What started as rice krispie treats in my kitchen became Ando Bars: fast-digesting carbs and whey protein in something that tastes like a treat, not a chore. Four simple components. No chalk, no fuss. Just fuel you'll actually look forward to before you train.

Every bar is made by hand right here in Charlotte. This isn't a factory brand — it's something I built from the ground up, one batch at a time, for people who take their training seriously but still want their fuel to taste good.

Thanks for being part of it. Let's fuel together.
