SideKick Pumpkin Protein Cubes

AUSTRIA - 2025

Pumpkin Protein Cubes – upcycled, smoky and cruelty-free. Small Cubes - big impact.

Side Kick’s Pumpkin Protein Cubes – Smoky Plant-Based Bites for Snacking and Cooking Where others see waste, we see the future: Side Kick’s Pumpkin Protein Cubes transform pumpkin seed press cake – a nutritious side stream from oil production – into savoury, smoky bites with flavour and plant-based power. Through a gentle extrusion process and minimal ingredients – pumpkin seed press cake and spices – we create a uniquely chewy texture with no artificial additives. With 33 g of protein per 100 g, fibre and healthy unsaturated fats, these cubes offer more nutritional value than meat while staying free from soy, wheat, pulses, and major allergens. They’re vegan, clean-label, and produced sustainably in Austria – perfect for conscious foodies, vegetarians, athletes and anyone with dietary sensitivities. Crisp them up in a pan, snack them cold, or use as a bold topping for bowls, salads or pasta. Pumpkin isn’t just for autumn – it’s the future of everyday eating. Find Side Kick’s Pumpkin Protein Cubes in the chilled section in a 160 g pack in two portions to avoid food waste. The product is packaged with care using minimal plastic and a paper wrap that protects the power cubes flavour and quality. Side Kick – turning side streams into healthy and delicious plant-based food. Small Cube - big impact.
