The Little Food Lab Fueling the Big Protein Boom

Anthony Flynn had already watched a series of food fads rise and fall. His company, YouBar, has long produced snacks for brands that cater to the popular diets of the moment. He dabbled in no-carb bars. He did paleo pastries. When keto had its moment, he tested so many high-fat recipes that he had to place spittoons in his office. ('You can only eat so much coconut oil,' he said.) Mr. Flynn was agnostic about the trends, though each boosted his business. Sure, he could make date-sweetened granola bites. Yes, he could produce a no-sugar cake pop. But then came protein, the nutrient that prompted him to start his business — and that has recently transformed it. 'It's just been an insane amount of demand,' said Mr. Flynn, as he walked through YouBar's headquarters in the San Gabriel Valley of Southern California this spring. 'We cannot build lines fast enough.' Mr. Flynn, 41, started making his own protein bars as a teenager, trading recipes with his mother — a health-conscious and Level Two certified snowboarding instructor — on drives to and from a ski resort outside the Los Angeles neighborhood where he grew up. After he graduated from college in 2006, he convinced her to turn their kitchen experimentation into a business, spinning up a web-based retailer that he called YouBar. It whipped up bars for CrossFit fans and ultramarathoners and sold them in packs of 12. Customers could choose their base and mix-ins, building the precise bar to meet their nutritional needs.

Kardish Health Food stores closing all Ottawa locations

The Kardish Food Centre location on Merivale Road. The retailer announced it will be closing its last two locations in Ottawa. (Google Maps) Ottawa-based Kardish Health Food Centre has announced it will be closing all its remaining locations after nearly five decades in business. The health food retailer that once operated at least six locations in the nation's capital said changes in consumer behaviour in the natural food industry and 'increased competition' have made its business model unsustainable. The company's owners Robert and Melinda Assaf announced the closure in a letter to members. 'Despite our best efforts and numerous initiatives to adapt to the changing retail landscape, the reality is that our business has been struggling for several years,' the Assafs wrote. The retailer has already closed most of its locations and will soon be shutting down its remaining stores on Merivale Road and on Innes Road in Orléans at a later date. Opened in 1979, the stores offered a wide range of healthy products, including bulk items, vitamins and natural foods. The company acknowledges customers may have noticed 'challenges' while shopping at its stores in recent months. 'We know our stores haven't been fully stocked, and because of this we haven't been able to provide you with the exceptional customer experience that Kardish has been known for over the decades,' the owners said. 'We are deeply grateful for your patience and loyalty during this difficult period, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.' The closure will also mean the end of Kardish-brand products. 'We know how much many of you have come to rely on and love these products that we've spent years developing and perfecting. The strong following you've shown for our Kardish brand items has been a source of tremendous pride for us,' the owners said. The company says long-term staff have chosen to stay working 'until the very end.' The remaining stores will be offering discounts and special offers on remaining items, including 'member appreciation pricing' until all its inventory is gone. 'Thank you for trusting us with your health and wellness needs, for supporting our family business, and for being part of our story. While this chapter is ending, the relationships and memories we've made will last forever,' the letter read.

Where We Are Going Today: Freshhouse Kitchen in Riyadh

Freshhouse Kitchen in Riyadh offers health-conscious meals that balance flavor and nutrition. Operating with a central kitchen model, Freshhouse serves meals through a flexible subscription service or to walk-in customers at its branches. One of the standout dishes is the pesto pasta chicken bowl, which brings a Mediterranean twist with ricotta, pomegranate, za'atar, pecans, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and cilantro. The pasta is light but comforting, all tied together with lemon-based dressing. For something more filling, the tenderloin steak potatoes bowl includes mashed potatoes, mixed green leaves, roasted corn, mixed vegetables, muhammara, and beetroot, topped with sunflower seeds and paired with cilantro and ranch yogurt sauces. Seafood options like the Mediterranean salmon bowl (served with kabsa rice) and the quinoa salmon bowl (topped with mango salsa) are high in protein and offer diverse flavor profiles. Breakfast items such as the mango overnight oats and yogurt granola parfaits are light, quick options for those on the go. While the food is generally satisfying, the temperature and presentation could benefit from more consistency.
