While going out for a “coffee-and-a-donut” might sound like an ideal breakfast paring, there are some days where you want to reach for something a little healthier than a pastry. Enter: coffeeFit. Local entrepreneur Trent Wills launched his Granville-based company with the idea of creating a protein-powered snack that would taste great alongside your morning coffee.
The two ounce bars boast 15 grams of protein, and come naturally gluten free with no fillers and no GMOs. Currently, the lineup includes three flavors:Â Peanut Butter Fudge, Peanut Butter & Chocolate, or Peanut Butter Crunch.
While coffeeFit can only be found in a select number of Columbus coffee shops (One Line and Luck Bros are the only ones on the distribution list so far), curious minds will be able to find all three flavors in sample sizes at the upcoming Healthy Bites event on Friday, July 29th from 6pm to 9pm at the Columbus Museum of Art.
Healthy Bites will take place from 6pm-9pm at the newly renovated Columbus Museum of Art. Advance tickets are $30 and will include food samples, live entertainment, participatory yoga demos by Art of Yoga, admission to the current exhibits at The Columbus Museum of Art  and a cash bar.
Featured food vendors include Fusian, Root 23, Pocket Produce, Gluten & Grain Free Gourmet, CoffeeFit Bar, Banana Leaf, Krazy Kraut, Zest Juice Co., Food for Good Thought, Snowville Creamery, Darista Dips, Native Cold Press, Acre, Alchemy Juice Bar + Cafe, Fronana and Lift Energy bars and drinks. We’ve also brought on board Cadence Kitchen, who will be providing on site food demos of quick and healthy meals.
A portion of the proceeds from all ticket sales will be donated to The Godman Guild. The Columbus Underground Best Bites event series have collectively raised over $16,000 for local charities since August 2014, with a goal of raising $20,000 for local charities in 2016.
