Why You’ll Love These Summer Bites
Chocolatey cacao in every bite
The lentils blend into the dough as they bake, giving each bite a subtle cocoa richness and a hint of roasted flavor. It’s a more grown-up chocolate taste, without the sweetness overload (but don’t worry, kids still love them!)
Protein-packed and satisfying
These bites are balanced with oats, tahini, protein powder, and lentils, so they fill you up without weighing you down. Perfect for active days in the sun.
Chewy, wholesome texture
The combination of tahini, applesauce, and oats creates a soft, chewy bite, while the lentils add a subtle nutty depth that keeps things interesting.
Allergen-friendly and easy to love
No dairy, no nuts, no gluten, and no soy. Just real food, real flavor, and a snack that almost everyone can enjoy.
Planet-smart ingredients
Our lentils are grown using less water than nuts or animal protein. So every bite supports more sustainable, climate-conscious snacking.
