Pre-active™ energy is fueling smarter with Quantum’s unique energy blend, made with balanced macros and organic caffeine. Developed by a sports dietitian and a food scientist to deliver long-lasting energy with essential nutrients, the healthiest form of natural caffeine, and without the crash or jitters.

All the energy of a balanced meal and coffee, without the prep time, heavy-feeling, just an easy, portable boost right when you need it---when you’re about to put your body in motion.

Why do I need it?

Before starting your training, favorite sport session or workout, your mind and body need real fuel to power movement, muscles, thinking and focus. Quantum’s unique energy blend was designed so you can fuel up right before you get moving, and keep going strong.

It’s no secret that most energy bars on the market put “taste” on the back burner, but we front-burnered taste by hiring a pastry chef! We may be the first energy bar company that hired a pastry chef (in addition to a sports dietician and a food scientist).

And that was just the start: after over 150 recipes and iterations — tested in focus groups, events, and anywhere there were active consumers with appetites — we landed on a selection of all-natural, award-winning flavors that will satisfy even the pickiest palates. There’s no reason real energy can’t taste real good.

Quantum combines the energy of a cup of coffee and a balanced meal in one portable bar that goes where coffee can’t.

While a cup of coffee doesn’t provide essential nutrients and coffee alone can cause jitters, stomach upset or a “coffee crash”, our bar bars feature a unique blend of balanced macronutrients and clean, organic caffeine, developed by a sports dietitian and a food scientist, so active customers can benefit from a more complete energy source, while avoiding the jitters and energy crash from drinking coffee by itself.

Our balanced macros (a nourishing energy mix of complex carbs, healthy fats and plant-based proteins), combined with organic caffeine, is specially formulated to be easy on the stomach—taking the edge off caffeine. Premium pumpkin seed protein combined with MCT oil (from coconut) helps slow caffeine absorption to give you the sustained energy boost you need for sports, exercise and workouts.

Quantum goes where coffee can’t
Ever tried taking a cup of coffee with you in your gym bag? Whether you get active on the running path, on the water, the bike trail or somewhere in between, take Quantum with you to fuel up with pre-active™ energy on the go (and without the hassle or mess).

Yes, all Quantum Energy Squares are Certified Gluten Free and they’re also:

√ 100% Plant-based Certified
√ NON-GMO Project Verified
√ Kosher DE Certified
√ Vegan
√ Soy Free
√ Dairy Free

BTW, each bar also has 10g of premium Plant Protein from peas and pumpkin seeds (no whey or soy).

While many popular energy bars contain over 20g of sugar and more than 40g of carbs, we’re setting our own standards for energy and wellness; Quantum is designed to deliver long-lasting energy with more protein, fewer calories, carbs and sugar as well as clean, nutrient-dense ingredients.

Our bars contain just 11g of natural sugar from fruits such as dates, organic agave and monk fruit (and a touch of organic dark chocolate), and just 21g of complex carbohydrates from fruits and seeds such as chia seeds.

While many of the energy bars, energy drinks and gels on the market may give you a quick blast of energy from caffeine or a “sugar high” from simple carbs or sugars (or both), the short-term boost is invariably followed by jitters and an energy crash. And some use synthetic caffeine, which can upset your stomach. All of these issues hurt performance, leaving you feeling deflated, instead of alert and energized to keep going strong.

Energy drinks always have a crash after the high, and lack any real nutritional nutritional value. Quantum delivers 10grams of plant based protein & MCT oil from coconuts. Our balanced macronutrients slow the caffeine absorption allowing your energy boost to come on evenly and last longer.

Most energy bars are packed with simple carbs and sugars, creating a quick boost but quickly turning to an energy crash. Quantum provides balanced macronutrients and takes the extra step to support enhanced mental focus and clarity with clean organic caffeine (100mg, equal to about a cup of coffee) in each bar.

We LOVE coffee! But…to put it simply, Quantum Goes Where Coffee Can’t

√ On a run, or in your cycling jersey pocket
√ In your gym, tennis or golf bag
√ Out on the beach for a surf sesh
√ Into the backcountry on a powder day
√ Hiking the Pacific Crest Trail

And...unlike a cup of coffee, Quantum delivers solid nutrition with our blend of plant based proteins, healthy fats and complex carbs to keep you physically fueled along with the mental boost from clean, organic caffeine.

Our unique energy blend is designed to deliver sustained physical and mental energy, along with essential nutrients your mind and body needs.

Quantum uses only the healthiest form of natural caffeine derived from organic green coffee beans. While both raw, green coffee beans and roasted, brown coffee beans have naturally occuring caffeine, that’s about where the similarities end. Roasting coffee beans changes their composition, their taste, and it can also roast away beneficial nutrients, such as chlorogenic acid (found in raw, green coffee beans) which can help the body burn glucose and stored body fat.

And studies have shown that natural caffeine is rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, polyphenols, and it can even help speed recovery when consumed post-exercise.

Some energy products contain synthetic caffeine, which is not only missing essential nutrients and health benefits, it can also cause stomach upset.

Our unique energy blend was developed with a balance of complex carbs, plant-based protein and healthy fat to extend performance; burning more slowly than simple carbs, this is fuel to go the distance. And it’s designed to slow the uptake of energy from caffeine, avoiding the harsh boost, jitters and crash which can come from consuming coffee alone, but keeping the mental and physical performance benefits we all love from coffee.

The role of caffeine: There are several benefits of caffeine as an energy source, validated over decades of scientific study. Caffeine provides mental energy, clarity and focus. Physical energy for increased muscular work capability (performance). Caffeine aids in metabolizing other fuels such as carbs for replenishing muscle glycogen (replenished during exercise, and helping the body to restore and recover post-exercise). Health benefits of organic caffeine from organic green coffee in our bars include: polyphenols known to reduce inflammation, regulate blood sugar and blood pressure; antioxidants for healthier soft tissue and muscles down to a cellular level.

The role of complex carbohydrates: Complex carbs pack in more nutrients than simple carbs (our natural complex carbs from seeds and fruits are nutrient-rich). And they digest more slowly, keeping you from feeling hungry longer during exercise.

The role of fat: Fats play two important roles in providing long-lasting energy. Fats are a concentrated source of energy—containing more than twice the potential energy that protein and carbohydrate do; they're metabolized during prolonged exercise to provide the fuel (adenosine triphosphate molecules, or ATP) our muscles need to sustain performance. And, fats extend fueling by burning slowly during endurance activities, sparing glycogen reserves. Stored carbohydrate fuel (muscle and liver glycogen) are used at a slower rate, delaying the onset of fatigue and prolonging performance capabilities.

The role of protein: When muscle glycogen stores fall in the latter stages of endurance activities, protein provides energy and protects our bodies from soft tissue cannibalization (breakdown of lean muscle mass for an energy source, something we all want to prevent as much as possible).
