  “From ‘Bloated at Disneyland’ to Clean-Label Success: The TruBar Story with Founder Erica”

  Jul 31, 202526 min

  Send us Fan Mail Craving a protein bar that doesn’t feel like a candy-bar hangover 30 minutes later? In this lively conversation, Daniel Lucas (host of Chasing Energy and inventor of the Sprout Spout) sits down with Erica, founder of TruBar , to unpack how she turned one awful, bloated day at Disneyland into a clean-ingredient snack empire now featured in Costco, Target, and airports everywhere. You’ll hear: 03:10 – Miami roots & nostalgia: Why Dunkin’ munchkins and ocean breezes shaped Erica’s food memories. 07:55 – The “pregnant” moment at Disneyland: The exact instant she vowed to reinvent on-the-go nutrition. 15:20 – Bootstrapping Target orders: Re-packing 12-count boxes by hand when funds ran low. 22:40 – Sugar-alcohol showdown: Why True Bar bans bloat-inducing sweeteners in favor of organic cane sugar (and what’s next with coconut nectar). 30:45 – Flavor R&D secrets: How a scribbled idea, a “flavor house,” and late-night kitchen tastings become your favorite bar. 37:30 – Healthy hustle tips: Two-liter wake-up hydration, “exercise snacks,” and raising seed-oil-savvy kids. 48:00 – What’s next: New flavors, new formats, and surprise products beyond bars (stay tuned!). Key Takeaways Sugar alcohols may taste sweet—but they can wreck digestion and trigger cravings. Thoughtful pre-planning (hello, carry-on True Bars) can save any business trip or family vacation. Entrepreneurship = endless roadblocks; celebrate every small win to keep momentum. Clean labels don’t mean boring flavors—texture and thoughtful sweet notes win taste buds.
