Indiana Grown: Timbar Protein Bars
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Each and every Saturday, WISH-TV highlights a local company together with our partners at Indiana Grown.
This week, Kristen Gilkison, owner and chief executive officer of Timbar, joined News 8 at Daybreak.
Timbar is a new range of protein bars that are made with plant-based protein and natural sweeteners. The protein bars are also completely free of gluten, eggs, dairy, whey, and other artificial preservatives and ingredients.
Gilkison says her inspiration for the protein bars came after she was diagnosed with celiac disease.
“I am a physician assistant and have always been passionate about preventative medicine,” she said. “And several years ago, I was diagnosed with celiac disease and some other food allergies. That inspired me to get in the kitchen.”
She says that as a busy working professional, she needed healthy options but struggled to find them.
“Most protein bars on the market weren’t really that healthy. They had a lot of artificial ingredients, sweeteners, were high in sugar, or just didn’t taste good. So, I got to work creating a protein bar that was well-balanced, healthy, free of most of the major allergens and that tasted great,” Gilkison said.
Timbar recently launched a chocolate peanut butter-flavored bar, and Gilkison says they plan to launch more this year.
The protein bars can be purchased on Timbar’s website, Amazon, or Market Wagon. They will also be available at the Indiana Grown Marketplace at the Hamilton County Fairgrounds, which runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sept. 14.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A firefighter for the Indianapolis Fire Department was sent to the hospital Wednesday after battling a fire at a vacant house.
According to a Facebook post made by IFD, the fire happened around 10:15 a.m. at a house on Bluff Rd. IFD says that there were several complications, including limited access to fire hydrants and “interior hoarder conditions” that IFD says was due to squatters.
The injured firefighter received “slight injury,” the Facebook post said.
It took over an hour and a half to get the fire under control, according to IFD, and another hour to put out all the remaining hot spots in the building.
According to IFD, the cause of the fire is currently unknown. Their Fire Investigations Unit is working on figuring out what caused the fire.
