The Veggie Sticks are available in Vegan Ranch and Himalayan Pink Salt flavors, which are made with a medley of organic and sustainably sourced ingredients: tomato, pumpkin, carrot, spinach and broccoli. The nourishing plant-based, paleo-friendly, non-GMO and gluten-free snacks are healthy and satisfying, especially as they help to deliver a crunch without the use of unhealthy oils. LesserEvil has observed that shoppers are purchasing more snacks and indulgent treats, which tend to be for the purposes of providing a sense of comfort, filling a craving or supporting a mindful moment. With this in mind, the brand created these new clean, sustainable snacks.
