Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Mezcla is a New York-based food startup that produces plant-based protein bars built on pea protein puff crisps. Each 40g bar combines pea protein and rice starch puffs with quinoa, nuts, seeds, coconut and palm kernel oils, and tapioca fibre, and contains roughly 10-11g of plant protein, 160-170 calories, 3-5g of fibre, and 15% of the daily recommended intake of iron. The flavor range includes Matcha Vanilla, Peanut Butter Chocolate, Pistachio Chocolate, Maple Blueberry, Hazelnut Chocolate, Frosted Strawberry, Chocolate Pretzel, Salted Caramel Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Hot Chocolate and almond butter-chocolate.

The company positions the bars as a lighter, less dense alternative to conventional protein bars, emphasising a crispy, chewy texture closer to a rice crispy treat. Products are sold through the company's own online store in 12-bar boxes at $32.99 and an 8-bar variety pack at $24.99, with subscription and multi-pack discounts, alongside distribution through grocery retailers and online marketplaces. Mezcla is an alumnus of the Mondelez CoLab program and has partnered with the non-profit The Hunger Project since 2022, donating a portion of sales from each bar.
