You Need This is an all-new sister brand launched by the team behind From the Ground Up and it was launched to share snacks for Gen Z. With a brand identity and packaging that's bold and bright with flavors to match, You Need This aims to spark conversations beyond snacks.
The brand offers several grain-free tortilla chips in flavors like Sea Salt, Ranch and Nacho, as well as straws and puffs in both sweet and savory options. These snacks made with real veggies are healthful alternatives to chips and they make the most of ingredients like butternut squash, spinach, broccoli, carrot, beet and shiitake mushroom. These nourishing snacks for Gen Z include social handles on the reverse side of the packaging, along with scannable QR codes.
