What ingredients are used in Vegsicle sticks?

Each Vegsicle stick is a careful blend of high-quality, plant-based ingredients designed to deliver maximum flavor and nutrition. The precise ingredients depend on the specific Vegsicle variety, but can range from whole grains, legumes, seeds and nuts, to fruits, vegetables, and plant-based sweeteners. Our sweet Vegsicles may include vegan ingredients like agave nectar, coconut sugar, or dark chocolate, while our savory Vegsicles may feature things like chickpeas, lentils, or vegan cheeses. In our more exotic Vegsicles, you might find unique ingredients such as goji berries, matcha, or seaweed. Regardless of the flavor, you can rest assured that every ingredient in a Vegsicle stick is vegan, ethically sourced, and chosen for its nutritional value. You can find the exact list of ingredients for each Vegsicle® variety on its product page and packaging.
