We’re Darcy and Jess — Ballina locals who wanted a better option than the usual “healthy” snacks on the shelf.
Raised started with our own training, but it’s quickly found its place with anyone who wants a genuinely high-quality, clean snack to support busy days, active weekends, and everything in between.
Whether you’re heading to the beach, the gym, work, or just trying to eat a little better - Raised is designed to be the kind of snack you actually feel good about.
what makes raised energy bars so special?
Made in Australia using key specialty Australian ingredients, Raised Collagen Energy Bars are built to help you rebuild!
They have the clean, natural energy you need to get through a tough training session or manic work shift, as well as the recovery nutrition required to go again tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day.
What's in them:
- Australian grass-fed collagen protein - for joints, tendons, and connective tissue support
- Australian pumpkin seed protein - with a complete amino acid profile for muscle repair, plus magnesium and zinc for nervous system recovery
- Natural dates and other Australian sulphite-free fruit - for fast, clean energy that doesn't spike or crash
- Premium nuts and seeds - for healthy fats, texture, and micronutrients that support steady energy and cell health
- Australian pink lake salt - that is contaminant-free and sustainably hand-harvested to get quality salt back in the system and help kick-start rehydration
And Just as important:
Here's what’s not in them.
- No gluten
- No dairy
- No soy
- No egg
- No GMO ingredients
- No artificial preservatives, colours, or flavours
- No artificial sweeteners or refined sugar
- No seed oils
Every ingredient has a function. Nothing is there to cut costs.

We’ve put serious time and effort into these products, and we stand behind them. The return requirement simply helps us separate genuine requests from freebie chasers.

WHO WE ARE
We're Darcy and Jess.
We’ve spent years running health food businesses and training jiu-jitsu when life allows.
The problem we kept running into was simple: what do you eat after training that doesn’t taste like cardboard or leave you feeling worse?
After talking to people at gyms and across different sports around Australia, we realised this wasn’t just a jiu-jitsu problem.
So we built something better.
Raised bars are made in Australia using real ingredients that support recovery, not cheap filler that happens to be shelf-stable.
If you value movement and want to keep doing it for years (like we do), this is built for you.

This is really a personal question you can only answer by trying them.
If you prefer super-sweet candies and protein bars, these might not be your thing.If you like whole food snacks and real food flavours + textures - you'll like these.
All in all though, they are soft and chewy with real texture. Not dry or chalky. The Raw Cacao tastes like super dark chocolate with roasted almonds. The Salted Caramel is subtly sweet and caramelly with a salt finish. The Tropical Acai is the sweetest and fruitiest. -
They keep best when stored cool, dark, and dry. If you live somewhere hot, you can store them in the fridge. They won’t melt in your car, but they might get softer in summer heat.
-
Absolutely. While they have their roots in the sport we love, they're designed for anyone who wants to stay active, healthy, and improve recovery. Lifting, running, CrossFit, combat sports, parenting, or just trying to stay consistent with exercise, they're for you.
-
You can actually get them a lot cheaper than this if you become a product subscriber, but yes, they are more expensive than many supermarket or servo protein bars.
Here's why:
We use quality Australian ingredients like grass-fed collagen protein, not soy crisps, real dates, not maltitol, and whole food ingredients that cost more to source and make.
We manufacture in small batches here in Australia to maintain quality.
And we're not trying to compete on price. We're trying to make something that actually works.
We think it's worth it. But you'll have to decide for yourself.
thanks for supporting local!
We’ve poured a huge amount of time and energy into building Raised the right way, and seeing it start to land in the hands of people in our own community is pretty awesome.
We hope you love the bars - and we’re grateful you’re giving them a crack.
