These pretzels are made from a blend of nutritious veggies, including butternut squash, pumpkin, cauliflower, carrot, spinach, broccoli, and more! They’re also gluten-free, vegan, Kosher, and non-GMO. From The Ground Up believes in making snacks that taste good but still deliver those essential nutrients your kids need – what more could you ask for from a snack?

From the Mouth of a Kid:

These pretzels are kind of sweet!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

My entire family goes crazy for these Butternut Squash Pretzels! They’re the same, yummy snack we rely on for an after-school pick-me-up, but with the added of bonus of being made with lots of nutritious veggies. My kids don’t even notice the added vegetables – they just like the crunch and great flavor! I love that they’re low in sugar because our kids love sweet treats, so it can be a struggle to satisfy their cravings with something that’s not full of sugar. The fact that they’re gluten-free and vegan makes it an easy snack to pack in their lunchboxes and bring to school to share with their friends, some of whom have food allergies. These are now a staple in our pantry – my wife and I love them just as much as the kids do!
