CARVE Inspires to "Carve Your Own Path"

Created by small group of Los Angeles entrepreneurs who believe in food made with integrity and a nutritional purpose, and who’s core values are built around the very place it was inspired from, the ocean. Rooted in Venice, California, CARVE's brand ethos is to ‘carve your own path’ choosing health conscious and affordable functional foods that will fuel people’s goals and adventures around the world. CARVE Bar is high-protein chewy-goodness, free from preservatives, made with 9 natural ingredients, non-GMO, gluten free and low sugar.

“Do you eat to live or live to eat? Do you often settle because the lack of quality food is simply not there or maybe you don’t know who to trust anymore?” These are questions that always came up first when Scott Elliot (Founder and CEO) and his friends started the journey of creating CARVE Bar. “We wanted to create something more meaningful and fun, something that not only impacted people on a positive level, but something that excited their taste buds as well.”

Scott begins every day surfing, skating or doing some sort of workout. “Surfing to me is the purest and easiest way to connect with nature and it puts everything in perspective. I just hop in the ocean every morning to get a clean and clear mind. One moment you’re being tossed around by the waves not knowing which way is up and the next you’re riding the wave of your life.” CARVE aims to inspire and fuel people’s adventures by ‘carving their own path’ and motivating self-empowerment.

CARVE founders have worked tirelessly in creating a healthy on-the-go nutrition bar that gives people options, as Scott explains: “You can take it as a high protein bar or bake it later into bite size cookies.” CARVE is an ocean inspired bar made for clean and healthy eating that’s affordable and convenient. There is a perception of what healthy foods are and this needs to change. We also want to ensure that everyone has access to clean, affordable and convenient foods across the world”, he concludes.
