Wild Protein was founded by three friends, Javier, Pier and Felipe to fill a void. We are a group of friends who got bored of only finding junk snacks in supermarkets and the high prices of good quality products. Alarmed by the obesity rates in America we convinced ourselves that the best way to make the change was by making real, healthy, tasty and transparent products at an accessible price. Our mission is to manufacture healthy products at extremely competitive prices without sacrificing taste, quality or service. Our commitment to honest food means complete transparency about ingredients and their benefits. We aim to help our customers live a healthy lifestyle and to be a part of creating a better world.
