FAQs
Send means a lot of things. Short for ascend, to “send” in sport means to land the move, to make it to the top of a rock climb, to reach the finish line. To us, send means achieving your goals, performing optimally and being relentless. Whether you’re headed to a mountain bike trail, a work meeting or a soccer game to cheer for your kid, we make products that help you fuel your journey. So you can focus on your busy life without worrying about fuel to support you.
Believe it or not, it can. We have been eating bars since forever. And when we grew tired of bringing the same stale, sugary, shelf stable crap on our adventures, we realized it was up to us to make something that we could feel proud to put in our bodies. So we cut the grains, the cane syrups, the soy protein isolates, the high oleic sunflower oils and the rest of the dead ingredients. And we added greens, adaptogens, whole plant proteins, fruit, nuts and seeds. All things you’d be able to identify and feel proud to eat if you saw them in their raw form.
Our bars are sweetened with whole dates and balanced with plant protein, fiber and healthy fats that slow down the absorption of sugars. These ingredients work together to balance blood sugars and build sustained energy over a longer duration.
SEND was created in and operates out of sunny, beautiful Colorado. Our products are small-batched by hand within 20 miles from our Boulder headquarters. All of our mushrooms are American-grown, while the rest of our ingredients are sustainably sourced from all over the world.
Adaptogens are plant-based molecules that work on the neuro-hormonal system in the body. Nerd speak aside, they’re literal superheroes. They help you improve your ability to handle physical, mental and environmental stress by supporting balance promoting homeostasis internally. In other words, they guide you back into a state of grounded, stable calm. We source the highest quality adaptogens (ashwagandha, chaga, lion’s mane and cordyceps to name a few) which guide you back into your best, most centered version of yourself.
Nope! Even though we love mushrooms of all kinds, we’ve formulated our products to possess all the adaptogenic benefits, with none of the shroomy, herbaceous flavor. These bars are damn delicious.
At the moment no, we only ship to the USA. But we’re working on it, and believe us, you’ll be the first to know.

Meet Sasha
"I've been making my own bars for a over decade. There was no easy way to get greens when I was studying, working or traveling to remote locations to climb.
Eating store bought crag food never made me feel good. I knew I could do better. Better for me. Better for the planet. Better for everyone who wants to get out there and do what they love, knowing they are eating something that's truly fueling their adventure.
After getting double reconstruction hip surgery, I learned to appreciate the power of food and nutrition like never before. There wasn't anything on the market I wanted to put into my body to help me heal, let alone get back out there and start performing again. So we set out to create a line of adventure food that checked all the boxes."

Meet Jones
"My journey as a professional athlete led me to value fuel as an integral component of performance and recovery. Especially after I broke my back and used food to come back and win gold.
My journey as a holistic nutritionist and chef led me to question everything I was taught in sport about food and fuel.
When I was diagnosed with Lyme, I began to truly understand food as medicine - particularly adaptogens, since they so powerfully regulate mood, stress, hormones, brain function and emotional well-being. It's my goal to make adventure food that is healthy AF, damn delicious and fuels your journey wherever your journey may take you."
