Founder & CEO

Organization Head, Strategist, Visionary, Financial Guru, Product Developer, and Relationship Builder

My Why: I want to make a positive difference in families' lives by creating healthy food products for them to enjoy.

My Hope for Customers: increased health and overall well-being with well-rounded nutrition that fits an active lifestyle.

Chelsea started Meat & Complete, LLC out of a passion for creating a healthy lifestyle and nourishing the body for herself and her family. When traveling for work or for pleasure it was difficult to find healthy, good tasting options in gas stations or convenience stores - so she created one!

It needed to be satisfying, good tasting, high protein, no added sugar, and convenient. An option that is good for you. No unnecessary ingredients or additives just three simple ingredients protein, fruits, and vegetables along with her spice blend, baked in a bar. Take a break from weighty foods and instead choose a Cibo bar specifically created to fuel you!

Based in Valentine, Nebraska with her three girls, Chelsea creates meat bar products that provide energy and nourishment for active and on-the-go lifestyles.

Kate Fullerton

Marketing & Communications Coordinator

I am a retired teacher and PreK-12 principal. I work with people on a daily basis spreading the Cibo brand. This company helps me fulfill the need to "Give Back" while working with partners to increase awareness of the meat protein bar and its nutritional value and great taste. I follow a Keto lifestyle so this fits me perfectly. I am helping with research and development and love all aspects of the business.  I am learning so much every day about our customers, their needs, requests, and how to share our vision for our business.

This is Our History

From the Founder

"Everyone starts somewhere. For a long time, the idea sat idle until it hit me: 'if I don't pursue this I'll never know if I can positively impact my health and others if I don't at least try.' With an attitude of gratitude and not much more I began experimenting using ground beef, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of spices. Baking the bars was the healthiest option and my idea came to life.

I figured if my three little girls liked them, I would have a win! Well, they love and request them and I am seeing my vision of helping feed the world come to life. I want you, my children, and those in need to have positive health-promoting options: food for growth, food for thought, food for delight, and food for life.

We began production, testing the market, going to farmers' markets and fairs to get ourselves known, and our taste and our vision shared. We were Complete meal replacement bars in red, white, and black. We have re-branded ourselves to embrace the forward movement we are experiencing.

Now we are known as Cibo [Chee-boh] meaning nourishment from Complete Ingredients, Better Options. We are the same company, but love our new look of black, gold, and white. We are looking forward to what the future holds for new flavors, and products. Please join us on this journey."
