What's Inside: Signature Brain Blend Plus Creatine

Peanut Butter Cup delivers 20g protein per bar and features 7 brain ingredients: our Signature Brain Blend of lion's mane, Ashwagandha (KSM-66), and omega-3s, plus creatine monohydrate and the nutrients B12 and D3. The bar includes 125mg of Cognizin® per bar, and two bars a day supply 250mg, the dosage studied for supporting focus and attention*.

What This Bar Does for Your Body and Brain

This bar has two jobs, and brain + body fuel is how we think about both. Our High Protein bars deliver 20g protein plus creatine, and we built Peanut Butter Cup to work alongside your training. Think of it as portable protein with a brain ingredient mix behind it, not a scoop of powder promising an edge it can't back up.

When to Reach for Peanut Butter Cup

Reach for Peanut Butter Cup in the hours before training, when pairing carbohydrates with protein helps you go in fueled. It also works as a midday pick-me-up before a busy afternoon, or as a grab-and-go bar for a gym bag or desk drawer. However you use it, it's formulated to deliver brain + body fuel wherever your day takes you, without needing a shaker bottle or a scoop.

Who It's Best For

Peanut Butter Cup is for you if you prioritize named, clinically studied ingredients over vague proprietary blends and want to verify transparent dosages before you buy. It fits if you read labels closely, train with intent, or just want portable brain + body fuel that doubles as a delicious afternoon treat. It's also a fit for gym-goers who want a higher-protein bar than our Snack or Plant-Based lines offer. We formulated it to support your day, not to build muscle or improve strength.

Honest Caveats: When This Isn't the Right Fit

Peanut Butter Cup is a dairy-based bar (OU-D) delivering 3g total sugars and 210 calories. If you want something lighter closer to workout time, our 140-160 calorie Plant-Based line may fit better: a lighter bar sits easier near a session, while a higher-calorie bar wants more time to digest. This bar is not a substitute for a dedicated pre-workout supplement.

How to Fuel With It

We recommend fueling somewhere in the one-to-four-hour window before a workout, depending on your personal digestive tolerance. Store your bars at room temperature, and eat up to two a day to reach the studied 250mg Cognizin® threshold*. After seeing a loved one's battle with Alzheimer's, we created MOSH®, The Brain Brand®, to deliver delicious, nutritious brain + body fuel, and 1% of Net Sales fund women's Alzheimer's research at WAM at Cleveland Clinic (Oct 2024-Dec 2026).

Is the Peanut Butter Cup bar a pre-workout supplement?
