Sweet Earth Foods is introducing a new plant-based snack called PoGo, or Power on the Go, that contains 13 grams of protein, prebiotic fiber and probiotics, and other simple yet nourishing ingredients. The nourishing handheld snacks, which are branded as wraps, are debuting in two varieties: a Chai cocoa whole wheat pastry wrap filled with sun nut butter and topped with pumpkin seeds, plus a Blackberry and chia filling within a colorful sweet potato crust.
These conveniently packaged plant-powered snacks have the potential to be consumed as better-for-you alternatives to protein bars or other sweet snacks, many of which are packed with hidden sugars and undesirable ingredients. Both of the wraps come in at under 290 calories and nine grams of sugar or less.
