Plant Powered
Nutrition
It’s estimated that 97% of children in the U.S. are fiber deficient. *
Fiber rich diets have been proven to help prevent, halt and even reverse chronic diseases like Type 2 Diabetes, heart disease and obesity as well provide mental health benefits, all currently on the rise in children in the US.
Each serving of GP has whopping 6g fiber/2 MMA.
Only plants have fiber
GroundPro is a whole plant food, made from lentils and spices. It is a delicious way to add more fiber to meals.

Good for the
Planet
Over 30 million students are provided school lunch every day. Serving recipes that are culturally appropriate and tasty will aide in reducing food waste.
By replacing one meat based meal a day for a one plant-based meal each student will be saving an estimated 200,000 gallons of water a year. **
So while students are eating something good for them they are also doing something good for the planet and their future.
