Late last year, the fast casual pizza chain Fresh Brothers introduced a new vegan dessert option called Sweet Knots. Since its launch, Fresh Brothers has built a reputation for offering better-for-you versions of classic comfort food. Now the chain is offering a healthy twist on a classic dessert.
The Sweet Knots from Fresh Brothers are warm, bite-sized rolls coated in cinnamon sugar and drizzled with icing. To make the dish a healthier option, the rolls are completely vegan and served in small portions that are ideal for sharing. The dish was originally tested at the chain's LAX location and proved so popular that it became a permanent menu addition.
The bite-sized desserts join the Fresh Brothers' extensive menu of shareable dishes, which also includes Vegan Tenders, Gluten-Free Bites, Fresh Knots and Meatball Sliders.
