Our Story

We founded I Am Grounded in late 2018 after getting our hands on coffee fruit, the part of the coffee plant usually discarded after the beans are removed. It has no coffee taste but all the health benefits associated with coffee - namely the antioxidants.

So we got to work to turn this upcycled ingredient into soft, naturally caffeinated bars that are rich in antioxidants and made to feel good in your body. Our controlled energy system lets you choose your ideal dose of natural caffeine, so you can fuel up without the crash or the gut drama.

Our promise is simple: sustained energy, real ingredients, and ethics you can stand behind. I Am Grounded sits at the intersection of elite performance and conscious consumption. It's not just a snack, it's a piece of gear.

Grounded in Purpose. Fuelled by Passion.

Brain-supporting ingredients

Our SUPR Bars are powered by coffee fruit concentrate (not an extract), sourced from partner farms in Colombia. Coffee fruit, also known as coffeeberry, is naturally rich in polyphenols including chlorogenic acid, catechins and caffeic acid, plus measurable antioxidant capacity.

Endurance

A smooth, natural energy release powered by coffee fruit. Because it's delivered in a real-food bar, the lift feels steady and sustained, not a sharp spike.

Focus

Coffee fruit (coffeeberry) has been clinically studied in relation to BDNF (brain-derived neurotrophic factor) and cognitive support, helping support focus and mental clarity when performance matters.

Recovery

Coffee fruit is naturally rich in polyphenols and antioxidants that have been studied for supporting nitric oxide pathways. Nitric oxide supports healthy circulation, helping deliver oxygen and nutrients to working muscles.

Mood

Coffee fruit contains prebiotic fibre, supporting the gut microbiome, which is linked to overall wellbeing. Clean fuel that helps you feel good, not wired.

Do You Know What Goes Into Making Your Coffee?

The average coffee drinker will consume 11kg of coffee beans per year producing roughly 57kg of coffee fruit waste per year. Coffee drinkers generate over 20 billion kilos of coffee fruit waste – enough to fill over 3,300 Olympic swimming pools. At I Am Grounded, we turn this waste into an opportunity to create positive change by upcycling coffee fruit into delicious, sustainable snacks.

"I take an energy bar with me every time I go on a long bike ride, but they are emergency calories I hope to never eat because I hate bars. But these bright, confident, and summery, even—totally changed my mind. They’re a far cry from the dank sludge I associate with coffee leftovers."- Maggie Lange- Bon Appetit
