Meet Arianna, the Heart Behind BOKA Energy

Hi! I’m Arianna, Owner and CEO of BOKA Energy, a Kansas-born company inspired by the need for natural fuel for athletic performance. As an athlete, I struggled to find energy gels that weren’t overly processed or hard on the stomach. I wanted something simple, natural, and effective—an energy supplement that felt good, not artificial. That’s when the idea for BOKA Energy started taking shape.

Inspired by bocadillo, a traditional Colombian energy snack made from guava and sugar cane, I set out to create a modern version—one that stays true to its natural roots while supporting the demands of today’s athletes.

From the very beginning, I’ve focused on research, development, and sourcing the highest-quality ingredients to create a gel that’s truly different. Over two years of intensive R&D, I worked alongside athletes, nutritionists, doctors, and manufacturing experts to perfect BOKA. We left no stone unturned, ensuring that every batch is scientifically formulated and naturally sourced—free from artificial additives and designed to support endurance the right way.
