Here at One Green Planet, we adore our team members and especially our founder, Preeta Sinha. She’s a health-focused, conscious eater that enjoys snacks and dishes that have as much nutrition packed in as they do taste. She’s always on the lookout for new foods and products and we find ourselves constantly asking, “What is that Preeta?” and, “can we have a bite?”. She is a great resource and has amazing tips, suggestions, and advice to offer, so we decided to start this monthly series to share her finds with you

So, with honor, these are the recent vegan protein bars Preeta has tried. Enjoy!
