New Grain-Free Snacks from Fitjoy FitJoy, based in Austin, Texas, has launched its grain-free pretzels. The new pretzels are made with cassava flour, a gut-friendly alternative to traditional grain flours. Cassava, a major staple in many countries, is a root vegetable with a variety of natural health benefits. The Grain Free Pretzels are plant based, gluten free, dairy free, corn free, soy free and non-GMO. The classic, crunchy twists are baked from cassava and chickpea flour and tossed in pink Himalayan sea salt. Each serving (ap- proximately 30 pretzels) contains 130 calories, 3g fat, 1g fiber, 0g added sugar and 2g of protein. The new Grain Free Pretzels join the company's portfolio of products, which includes four flavors of protein bars available in full size and mini. All bars are free of gluten, GMOs, maltitol, and artificial flavors and sweeteners. With the launch of the pretzels in 2019, FitJoy will transition into a completely grain-free company. Additional products are expected to launch later this year. A portion of proceeds from every FitJoy purchase helps feed underprivileged children through partner organizations across the U.S. Fitjoy 833.434.8569 www.fitjoynutrition.com New Mushroom Products from South Mill Champs South Mill Champs, one of North America's largest mushroom growers, has announced the company's new snack food, Shrooms.
