About Carla
Years after my mom passed, and after having daughters of my own, I started to pay closer attention to the food choices I was making for my family. As I researched healthy diets, food production, and its changes over the last 60-70 years, I realized the profound connection between the quality of our food and the quality of our lives. I discovered the harmful effects of factory farming, the importance of buying organic and non-GMO, and the amazing benefits of adopting a plant-based diet. This knowledge not only improved my health but also reshaped my values.
With this newfound understanding, I began creating whole food-based treats, especially chocolate, that I could feel proud to share with family and friends. Nelly’s Bars quickly became a favorite!
About Our Ingredients
One of my favorite refrigerator magnets says, “Try Organic Food… or as your grandparents called it, ‘Food.’” After diving deep into the many debates around diet and nutrition, I chose a simple, time-honored approach: eat a balanced mix of real foods—whole or minimally processed. After all, good nutrition should be about energy, vitality, and well-being, not chasing the latest food trend or obsessing over calories.
That’s why Nelly's Bars are made with organic, nutrient-dense whole foods, wrapped in fair-trade Peruvian dark chocolate. We hand-select the finest ingredients, often sourced from small, flavor-driven farms that care about purity over profit.
What’s Not in Our Products
Just as important as what’s in our bars is what’s not. We never use additives, preservatives, soy, gluten, GMOs, palm oil, seed oils, animal products, or any hard-to-pronounce ingredients!
Nelly’s Bars were born out of a desire to change how people eat. Our plant-based, chocolate-covered snacks are ones I truly stand behind—products that are better for people, animals, and the planet!
