Kamily Flores opened a protein bar company recently. The young entrepreneur is a full time union college student at the age of 19 years old. Her parents were immigrants to the United States and during her opening speech she stated that “I just want to make them proud and I can’t wait to show them everything they’ve worked on has paid off”. She opened her store in Cranford NJ, close by to where she initially grew up. She and her family would often take trips to Cranford and Kamily really loved the town and atmosphere. Her shop, known as Craft Protein Bar, serves up meal replacement shakes along with protein teas and coffees. She plans to expand the menu to include protein donuts and waffles. Flores has always had a passion for health and her goal was to help her community get tasty snacks that are still full of healthy vitamins and proteins. She says she initially got the idea from taking a class called “taking a risk” at her college. Her advice for other entrepreneurs is “You can make your dreams come true. Work hard and you can accomplish it”.

It is really cool to see how successful a college student can be. Especially since what she does is something that I am interested in. Kamily definitely took a risk by starting a business and it is paying off. I also want to try all of the things that she is offering, they all sound good.
With health being so big in America right now this an amazing innovation. She has combined protein with things I never though could be healthy. I tend to stray away from things like waffles, coffee, and donuts in my lifting life typically. If she could effectively put protein in these things and give it good flavor, I’m sold. This is a very timely idea and I think she will make her parents very proud with it.
