COZI started with one simple belief:
The foods that fuel us should also be foods we genuinely enjoy eating.
As a runner, physician assistant, and new mom, I spent years searching for a protein bar that checked every box. Most were packed with artificial ingredients, loaded with sugar, or simply didn’t taste like real food.
I wanted something different. Something made with ingredients I recognized. Something comforting. Something I would actually look forward to eating.
So my husband and I decided to create the kind of protein bar we couldn’t find. Inspired by the flavors we grew up loving, thoughtfully crafted with real ingredients, and made to fuel everyday life.
We hope COZI becomes a small, comforting part of your day, too.

The story behind COZI.
Our Promise.

We believe nutrition starts with ingredients you’ll recognize. No artificial sweeteners, no unnecessary fillers. Just thoughtfully chosen ingredients you can feel good about.

Nourishing your body should bring comfort. That’s why we create familiar flavors you’ll actually look forward to eating.

Whether you’re heading to work, finishing a workout, packing a diaper bag, or squeezing in a snack between meetings, COZI was created for the moments that make up everyday life.
More Than a Protein Bar
Behind COZI are two people who simply wanted to create something they’d be proud to share.
Annalise is a physician assistant, runner, and mom. Ryan is a father and a financial advisor with a passion for entrepreneurship and building meaningful businesses. Together, we combined our different backgrounds with one shared goal: creating food we’d genuinely look forward to eating and feel good sharing with others.
While our careers are different, we share the same values - integrity, quality, and caring about the people we serve. Those values shape every decision we make, both as a family and as the founders of COZI.
