if you’re looking for a delicious and protein-packed snack or side, these plant-based protein “breadsticks” are the perfect choice.

made with tofu and chickpea flour, they’re dense and hearty, providing the most satisfying bite with every piece.

taste and texture

these breadsticks have a savory and slightly nutty flavor thanks to the combination of tofu and chickpea flour.

the vegan mozzarella on top adds a perfect cheesy finish that pairs perfectly with the breadsticks’ dense texture.

unlike traditional light and fluffy breadsticks, these are dense but delicious!

these plant-based protein “breadsticks” are not meant to have the texture of traditional bread because of the unique ingredients they’re made with.

this distinctive texture is intentional and delicious, providing a satisfying bite that’s packed with protein and nutrients.

the result is a “breadstick” that’s more substantial and filling, making it a perfect addition to any meal or a satisfying snack on its own!

protein content

each serving of these breadsticks packs in around 11.83 grams of protein, making them a great option for anyone looking to increase their protein intake.

the tofu and chickpea flour provide a solid protein base, while the soy milk and vegan cheese add even more protein to the mix.
