The Mix We Couldn't Buy.

BisonFlex started in a grocery aisle, reading the back of every mix on the shelf. The high protein ones leaned on sugar alcohols, gums and wheat. The ones with a short label had almost no protein. Nothing passed both tests, so we went home and started measuring.

The rule was set with the first batch and it has not moved since. High protein, some fiber, and a short list of ingredients we can stand behind. No wheat, no grains, no gums, no seed oils, no artificial flavors. The six mixes we sell today are sweetened with pure monk fruit, the real extract, with no sugar alcohols.

Pancakes came first, because breakfast was where the protein had to come from and where every label let us down. Then cupcakes and cakes, because dessert was the other place it fell apart. Every new mix has to clear the same two bars: the rule above, and it has to taste like the version you grew up with. If it misses either one, it does not get a pouch.

That is the whole story. No shortcuts, a label you can read in one breath, and a mixing bowl that never gets put away.
