IQBAR Partners with Thomas Keller
IQBAR, a brand dedicated to nourishing both the brain and body with clean and functional ingredients, has teamed up with Michelin-starred chef Thomas Keller. This collaboration marks IQBAR's first major partnership and features the introduction of two new products:
Salted Caramel Chip IQBAR and
Yuzu Mango IQMIX. Ten percent of the sales from this special collaboration will be donated to
Ment'or, a non-profit organization aimed at promoting culinary excellence among young chefs in America.
The Collaboration
This unique partnership emerged organically, as Chef Keller has long been a fan of IQBAR products, typically incorporating them into his daily routine. This alliance fuses IQBAR's commitment to high-quality, clean ingredients with Keller's exceptional expertise in creating unforgettable flavors. Known for his work at acclaimed restaurants such as
The French Laundry and
Per Se, Keller is a strong advocate for the importance of top-notch nutrition, which aligns perfectly with IQBAR’s mission.
CEO and Founder Will Nitze expressed his excitement about the collaboration, stating, "This partnership is particularly special for us because it originated organically. Thomas Keller is a true fan and consumer of our products. Partnering with the most decorated chef in America underscores our commitment to combining world-class flavor with exceptional nutrition. At IQBAR, we believe that great taste and clean ingredients should always go hand-in-hand, and this collaboration brings that vision to life."
New Product Offerings
Through extensive collaboration, Chef Keller and the IQBAR team have crafted two distinctly appealing products:
1.
Salted Caramel Chip IQBAR: This enticing protein bar features a scrumptious mix of toasted macadamia nuts and rich salted caramel flavor, while incorporating five essential brain nutrients known as IQBAR properties – magnesium, lion's mane, MCTs, flavonoids, and vitamin E.
2.
Yuzu Mango IQMIX: This invigorating hydration mix blends the delightful fresh flavors of natural yuzu and mango extracts, enhanced with lion's mane and magnesium L-threonate, targeting support for brain health and mental clarity.
Chef Keller remarks, "Chefs are athletes—we rely on good nutrition to perform at our peak, which is why IQBAR is an essential part of my daily routine. This collaboration brings together exceptional taste and clean, functional ingredients to fuel busy lifestyles. I’m proud that the products we've developed are nutrient-dense and thoughtfully designed—the bars deliver plant-based protein for strength, while the hydration mix provides essential electrolytes, ideal for keeping pace with a demanding day."
