Timbar was founded by Kristen Gilkison, a Physician Assistant, fitness and nutrition enthusiast, and mom, with a deep passion for preventive medicine and functional nutrition.
Through her work in healthcare and her own experience living with Celiac Disease and food allergies, Kristen saw firsthand how difficult it can be to find convenient allergen friendly foods made with clean ingredients that are both safe and enjoyable to eat. Too often, on-the-go options lacked nutritional quality or flavor, leaving people to choose between convenience and feeling their best.
Combining her clinical background with a lifelong love of baking, Kristen began developing protein bars that supported wellness without sacrificing taste. Her goal was simple: create a bar that was made with real food ingredients, satiating, rich in plant-based protein and fiber, and naturally sweetened—something she would genuinely enjoy eating herself.
That vision became Timbar: a clean, delicious protein bar designed to fuel busy lives with confidence & flavor.
