High‑protein products that still taste right
Firas Bader, The Food Engineer, develops high-protein snacks, bars and drinks for brands and manufacturers in Lebanon and the UAE, and keeps them good through their shelf life. Adding protein usually changes taste and texture: bars harden, coatings fall off, drinks thicken.

Questions
Can you add protein to my existing product?
That is a reformulation.
How it worksCan you get it made at a factory?
I write the factory process and support trials with your manufacturer.
I don't have a company yet. Can you help?
Yes. Founders with an idea are welcome, company or not. Tell me where you are, and we start from there.
Have a product challenge?
A new idea, a formula that isn't working, or a shelf-life problem. Let's talk about it.
