Remix Snacks' Beanies are Made with Mung Beans & Upcycled Carrots

— June 5, 2025 — Lifestyle
Puff snacks are beloved for their delicate crispness and melt-in-the-mouth quality, and Remix Snacks' Beanies stand out in the crowded snack category because they're crafted with nutritious, protein-packed mung beans and upcycled locally sourced imperfect carrots. Made with all-natural ingredients and no preservatives, these vegan-friendly puff snacks from the dietitian-founded brand deliver seven grams of protein, plus six grams of fiber per serving.

Available in varieties like Vegan Chedd'r and Smoked Paprika, Beanies satisfy cravings and reduce food waste. According to Remix Snacks, the misshapen look of imperfect produce—despite being high in quality, nutritious, and completely edible—often leads it to be rejected by grocery stores, representing about 40% of the total food waste in Canada.
