Lenny’s and Larry’s Fitzels

Lenny & Larry’s, a vegan company, has steadily expanded its product line over the years, from their iconic Complete Cookie (now available in 10+ flavors) to crème-filled cookies, bite-sized cookies, cookie bars, and now their newest creation: Fitzels, flavorful, protein-packed pretzels. Found at many larger chain gas stations and grocers, these are a road trip essential.

We tried the Palooza Pizza Fitzels and they were packed with bold, savory flavor, a fun and delicious twist on the classic salted pretzel.

Fitzels come in these other flavors as well:

  • Cinnamon Bun
  • Chili Lime
  • Everything Bagel
  • Boujie Mustard

Check out all of Lenny & Larry’s offerings here: https://www.lennylarry.com/collections/shop
