Changing the way you fuel—one bold bite at a time

All I wanted was protein. Then things got out of hand…

We all try to eat healthier—or at least we think really hard about it while eating leftover pizza. One day, in a bold act of nutritional responsibility, I walked into a sandwich shop and ordered a salad. Feeling proud, until I saw that adding chicken was an extra $6.50—basically the price of a second lunch. I paid it, of course (because protein), but on the way out, I had a thought: why isn’t there a protein salad dressing? Like, what are we even doing here? Imagine coming home after a long day, tossing some salad greens in a bowl, adding a few veggies, pouring on a protein-packed dressing… and boom—dinner. No pans, no prep, no sad microwaved chicken. Just a legit, healthy meal made with real food and zero effort. Revolutionary? Maybe.

And then the floodgates opened… I started seeing the possibilities everywhere. Protein in my chips & salsa? Obviously. Pasta with marinara—no meatballs required? Done. I basically turned into the Oprah of protein: “You get protein! You get protein! Everyone gets protein!” 

That’s how Original Protein Co. was born—to make snack time, lazy dinners, and even those “what do I feed these people?” moments with friends a little easier, healthier and way more delicious. Because convenient protein shouldn’t taste like gym powder. It should taste like something you actually want to eat.
