From viral kitchen creation to buzzworthy brand launch, Kay and Tay’s Hey!Bar by HeyNu is the feel-good wellness obsession everyone is about to be talking about. With a star-powered debut, a line around the block, and electric fan energy, this is one launch that proves the hype is very real.
What started as a homemade solution for better health has officially transformed into one of the most exciting wellness launches of the year. Kay Dudley, one half of the beloved influencer duo Kay and Tay Official, first began making protein balls in her kitchen while navigating her personal health journey and living with an autoimmune disorder. After years of trying snacks that promised energy but delivered sugar crashes, she decided to create something better. When she shared her protein ball recipe online, it quickly went viral, with followers flooding her comments and DMs asking for the ingredients.
Now, that viral moment has blossomed into Hey!Bar, officially launching February 27.
Each bar packs 14g plant protein, 6g fiber, and only 5g sugar for clean, steady energy. They feature 21 nutrients from real fruits and vegetables plus B12 for an extra boost. They’re gluten-free, free from artificial ingredients, and made without the top nine allergens. That means more people can enjoy them with confidence and excitement.
The SoHo pop-up captured the brand’s joyful spirit perfectly. The café glowed with soft pastel tones matching the packaging. The space felt warm, elevated, and completely on brand. Even the coffee had custom “hey!” branding.
In person, Kay was just as radiant as she appears online, incredibly kind, welcoming, and genuinely grateful for every supporter. She took time with each guest, creating a meet-and-greet experience that felt personal and heartfelt despite the crowd.
Guests received beautifully curated goodie bags featuring a large Hey!Bar branded tote, a chic earring and necklace set from Rellery, a Hey!Bar hat, and a Luna Daily Everywhere Body Minis set.
Hey!Bar partnered with Rellery to add an extra special element to the event by offering guests high-quality, personalized permanent jewelry. The bracelet-building station made the experience interactive and unforgettable, giving attendees something meaningful to take home. Each bracelet featured charms branded with the Hey!Bar logo, chosen by guests themselves, a subtle yet stylish detail that tied the collaboration together perfectly.
From a simple kitchen creation to a full-scale wellness brand, Hey!Bar represents more than just a snack. It’s a celebration of intentional living, vibrant community, and fueling your body with ingredients you can trust. If the pop-up energy is any indication, February 27 is only the beginning. Get ready. Hey!Bar is about to be everywhere.
