Meet Our Founders

Growing up in the digital age, we, like many women our age, faced a whirlwind of mixed messages about what it means to be healthy. From yo-yo dieting to over-exercising and struggling with unhealthy relationships with food, we’ve been through it all.

These experiences sparked a personal journey for both of us—a quest to find a sustainable balance. Along the way, we educated ourselves on the importance of nutrients and the sources of the ingredients we consume. Over time, our relationship with food transformed. We began focusing on how food made us feel and how it could help us achieve our goals. We believe food should be enjoyable.

As we deepened our understanding of nutrition, one thing became clear: protein is essential for a healthy lifestyle—not just for building muscle, as it's often perceived, but for supporting overall well-being. However, we noticed that most protein-rich products on the market were tailored to the muscle building crowd. We wanted something different—something designed for everyday life, accessible to anyone striving for balance, not just gains.

And so, Koki was born. Our mission is simple: to create protein-based treats that are approachable for everyone, indulgent, and made with only real ingredients. So go ahead—have a Koki.
