Creation Nation

Karen Nation hopes the Sharks bite on her Creation Nation, her “do it yourself protein bars from scratch,” in Shark Tank episode 1223. Nation grew up in foster homes and struggled with food allergies as a child. Now, as a certified sports nutrition specialist, she likes to eat a healthy, balanced diet and provide one for her clients.

In 2014, she decided to start her company to provide an alternative to “blah” protein bars on the market. Most of those, she says, “are nothing but glorified candy bars.” What she offers is a ready to make mix to make your own protein bars at home. All you do is provide a liquid (yogurt, applesauce or a nut milk) and a fat (almond butter, avocado or ghee). All you do is mix everything together and add a sweetener if desired. The mixes work with a vegan, keto or paleo diet. It’s fresher than prepackaged protein bars and more eco friendly since Nation’s packaging is reusable.

The mixes come in four flavors: Oat Yes Chocolate Chip, Cocoa for Coconuts, Whey Hip Chocolate Chip and Peas Love and Cocoa. The ranger in price from $7.99 to $12.99 per bag and each bag makes 8 protein bars.You can find Creation Nation’s products in select Walmart stores, Whole Foods, Hyvee, Albertson’s and other smaller grocers. She also sells from her Amazon store. While Karen did a good job getting her products on the shelves, she’d love a Shark to take a bite and help her grow even faster.

A good business plan, good financials, and sales data will impress the Sharks, but she’ll need to show them SHE is capable of running the company to “Shark standards.” A full pitch re-cap on Creation Nation will be available on Shark Tank Blog once this episode airs.
