Our Story
OXE proteins
At OXE Proteins, we believe strength starts from the inside out.
OXE was born in the kitchen — not a lab. Our journey began with two private chefs who wanted more from the protein bar world. More flavor. Better ingredients. Options they could actually feel good about recommending to the athletes and high performers they cooked for every day.
As chefs for NBA players, NFL pros, and top-tier CEOs, we saw the same problem again and again: bars that promised performance but delivered bloating, crashes, and confusion. So we went back to basics and did what we do best — we made something better.
It all started with a homemade crispy treat for Chef Kaylee’s daughter at the gym — a nostalgic snack reimagined with real ingredients and balanced macros. When her pro clients tried it, they were hooked. Chef Anthony helped perfect the texture and flavor, and soon gyms were asking to stock it.
OXE stands for strength. For resilience. For excellence.
Every bar is chef-crafted, performance-tested, and crave-worthy.
We made this for our clients.
Now, we’re making it for you.
