Atlanta – September 14, 2026 -- ILA, a clean energy bar brand, has officially launched with two flavors: ILA Chocolate and ILA Peanut, following six years of formulation work by two practicing herbalists.
Each bar delivers 9 grams of plant-based protein from pea and hemp, alongside what the brand calls Adaptive Energy+TM, a blend of Reishi and Ashwagandha, adaptogenic herbs traditionally used to support the body's response to everyday stress.
Two flavors pair whole foods with adaptogenic herbs
The Chocolate Bar combines real cocoa and chocolate pieces for a not-too-sweet profile, while the Peanut Bar uses real peanut butter and roasted peanuts for a nutty taste with earthy depth from the herbs. Both bars are naturally sweetened with dates and coconut nectar and contain nothing artificial.
The bars are non-GMO, gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.

Co-founders Amy Saleh and Eileen Brantley are both practicing herbalists who built the brand around what they call Macro Meets Micro, pairing whole-food ingredients with functional herbs.
