Rickaroons
We make coconut energy bars that taste like dessert. We are a father and son company in San Diego that uses 100% organic, vegan, and gluten free ingredients to make a healthy snack perfect any time of day or night.
A Love Story.It started with love - the love for a woman and the love of a healthy life. I was just a kid when my dad, Rick, created the first version of Rickaroons. He made them to comfort and support the woman he loved and cared for during her battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Although I was young, I still realized that Rickaroons represented his love for a strong woman and a healthy lifestyle. Over the years my dad then crafted his nutrient-dense dessert into the perfect fuel. The final product is what we now call the Rickaroon. It is the all-of-the-above cookie: gluten free, vegan, organic, Paleo, soy free, and most importantly - tastes like heaven. The coconut and almond butter not only taste great together, but yield a nice, slow-burning fuel for your body. We eat them in the Rickaroons office first thing in the morning before a swim, as a mid-day snack to stay energized, and as a reward for a good, hard day's work. Health and happiness go hand in hand, so grab a Rickaroons and share with someone you love! From our family to yours - enjoy! - Grant (Rick's son and partner) |

Are Rickaroons a dessert or a healthy snack?
Answer: Both. Rickaroons were created by Rick as a clean burning energy food for pre or post workouts. Since Rick is both a lifelong health conscious athlete AND a lifelong dessert connoisseur, Rickaroons turned out to be a delicious dessert as well. So eat Rickaroons any time of day and feel good about the dietary choice you've made.
What is the shelf life of Rickaroons?
Answer: They stay fresh for 3 months without any refrigeration. However, refrigeration does extend the shelf life of Rickaroons.
Do Rickaroons need to be refrigerated?
Answer: Rickaroons do NOT need to be refrigerated. Each Rickaroon is individually packaged air tight and because coconut oil is also a natural preservative, the shelf life is extended naturally and organically.
How do Rickaroons come packaged?
Answer: Every Rickaroon is individually packaged. This helps keep them fresh. It also lets you grab one for your backpack, purse, or glove compartment - perfect for on the go. Every order of Rickaroons comes in a beautiful box carrying 12 Rickaroons.
What is coconut palm nectar?
Answer: Coconut Palm Nectar is the cleanest, slowest burning, low glycemic index, eco-friendly and sustainable sweetener we can find. It is delicious and has a nutritional profile that includes many minerals our bodies use. These include magnesium, potassium, and manganese.
Is coconut palm nectar leading to deforestation?
Answer: No. The nectar itself comes from the flower of the palm tree. This means it is completely sustainable and done so without damage to the eco-system. Additionally, our coconut palm nectar supplier utilizes 20,000 small farms that are not mono-culture groves of palm trees. The trees co-exist with numerous bio-diverse plants in Indonesia.
Where does your coconut palm nectar come from?
Answer: We source our coconut palm nectar from 20,000+ small, sole proprietorship farms in Indonesia. The workers on these farms have seen average daily wages increased 100%. Just another reason to feel good about eating Rickaroons.
About Us :
Established in 2010, The Paleo Foundation was first organized for the purpose of improving the tolerability of the paleo diet, and to help adherents easily identify products that met its basic tenets. Since then, thousands of products have been certified through the Certified Paleo, Keto Certified, and lab -tested Grain-Free Gluten-Free certification programs.
Disclosures:
100% of Paleo Foundation revenue is generated through certifications. We do not accept donations, corporate sponsorships, or financially benefit from the sales of any certified products, product giveaways, or partnerships with industry contacts or retailers for the purpose of maintaining the integrity of an impartial certification standard.
Certified Paleo:
Certified Paleo:Each certification program has a different set of standards. Certified Paleo is the Paleo Foundation’s first, most popular, and highest level of certification for Paleo-compliant products. Certified Paleo Products are products that contain Paleo ingredients, but may have some 21st-century processing or packaging methods allowing for shelf stability.
Grain-Free Gluten-Free:
Grain-Free Gluten-Free: Grain Free Gluten Free Certified products are gluten-free and do not contain any grains of gliadin competitive residues. All Grain-Free Gluten-Free products have undergone two rounds of audits, including lab tests, and a final review to become approved for the Grain-free Gluten-free Certified Program.
Keto Certified:
Keto Certified: The ketogenic diet is a restrictive, demanding diet that can be difficult to maintain, and tolerability of the ketogenic diet is the single most important factor limiting individual acceptance for initiation. Therefore, improving the tolerability of the ketogenic diet is crucial to preventing diet discontinuation, warranting further investigation into methods for improving palatability, improving the availability and convenience of foods that are compliant with the ketogenic diet, as well as addressing cultural and social acceptance.
The Keto Diet product market may be in a unique position to improve tolerability, especially in social and cultural environments that typically feature carbohydrate-rich “special occasion” types of foods. In 2016, the Paleo Foundation launched the world's first Keto Certified program for products with standards that were developed for adherence to a classical ketogenic diet.
