Jamey Yon / Yon Bons

As an endurance athlete, training and competing for 35 years, I tried almost every energy gel and recovery bar on the market intended for sustained energy and recovery. I was never truly satisfied with what I ate and experienced, and in 2018 was inspired to create a real food snack that I could trust. I needed a snack that would fuel my workouts, provide fast recovery, and provide healthy nutrition for my family. Through my experiences training and racing, I knew that eating balanced meals of 50% carbohydrate, 25% protein, and 25% healthy fat was the optimal way to sustain energy and speed recovery throughout the day. With the help of my family and after many hours in the kitchen, we created the perfect 50-25-25 bite sized snack and accomplished our mission. We created “Yon Bons” using only healthy ingredients, with no preservatives, artificial sweeteners, or added sugars. As the coach of TRiYon Performance I began to share Yon Bons with my athletes and the response was overwhelming. Their testimonies quickly made us realize that we had a product we needed to share with many. With the help of a local Charlotte bakery we were able to increase our production and take Yon Bons to the market! We continue to work hard creating new flavors using only all natural and organic ingredients that promote a healthy lifestyle and improved athletic performance. As an athlete, coach, and father of 5 you quickly realize how important perfectly balanced nutrition is for staying healthy and fit!

The Perfect Macro-Nutrient Balance: 50-25-25 How Does It Work?

At the end of each day you should get 50% of your calories from carbohydrates, 25% from protein, and 25% from healthy fats. You will not only feel better throughout the day, but also perform better as an athlete or busy professional. This is the difference between Yon Bons and the competition. Each bite has a specific balance of 50% carbohydrates, 25% protein and 25% healthy fat. You maintain the correct macro balance between meals so that your goal at the end of each day is accomplished!

Carbohydrates are held at 50% as the key to quick fueling energy. At 50% your body learns to use carbs effectively and sparingly and will teach your body to use body fat for additional fuel. This process will naturally lower your body fat percentage and improve your overall performance endurance.

Protein at 25% of your daily caloric needs is essential for recovery and endurance. Your body can absorb approximately 30-40 grams at each meal. Unfortunately, for most active people, this is not enough protein to sustain recovery and improve performance . By including Yon Bons between meals and before, during, and after workouts, your body can meet its protein needs. You will recover faster, avoid afternoon crashes, and increase your energy throughout the day. Your body will perform at its peak, increase in lean muscle, and burn stored body fat!

Healthy Fats help accelerate base metabolism, supply antioxidants to fight free radicals, and help transport vitamins and minerals for a healthy body. Keeping healthy fats at 25% assures that your body is receiving the sufficient amount for optimal health without causing harmful effects from high fat Keto diets. Eat healthy, exercise, and use YonBons to feel and perform your best!
