VANCOUVER, BC, Sept. 1, 2020 /CNW/ - Vegaste Technologies Corp. (the "Company" or "Vegaste") (CSE: VEGA) (Frankfurt: WNT1), is pleased to announce that the Company will be adding Mid-Day Squares plant-based chocolate bars ("Mid-Day Squares") as an add-on item, currently only available to Canadian residents, in the meal delivery section of its extensive PlantX e-commerce platform www.PlantX.com.

The addition allows PlantX, the digital face of the plant-based community and the one-stop-shop for everything plant-based, to expand its category verticals and offer plant-based vitamins, supplements, pre-made meals, groceries, its own branded water, and soon, it's first snack. The plant-based functional chocolate bars will be an add-on item for Canadian customers once five meals are added to a cart at https://plantx.com/plant-based-meal-delivery.

Mid-Day Squares are vegan, gluten-free, soy free, non-GMO, and 100% organic with no preservatives or artificial ingredients, aligning with PlantX's vision of providing accessible, delicious and nutritious plant-based options to interested parties. Packed with plant-based proteins and high fiber, the bars are a great snack between meals and will be featured as an add-on item for PlantX's pre-made meals created by Los Angeles-based chef, Gregg Drusinsky.

Founded in 2018 by Lezlie Karls, Jake Karls and Nick Saltarelli, Mid-Day Squares was launched to offer a healthy afternoon craving killer. With its tagline, "The first functional chocolate bar: Everything a chocolate bar isn't. Everything a protein bar wishes it was," the bars are made with "superfoods" and crafted for consumers on the go. There are three flavors, Fudge Yah, Almond Crunch and Busta Peanut.

"We are very excited to include Mid-Day Squares in our online selection," said Sean Dollinger, PlantX Founder. "Adding a nutritious snack made in Canada is a great way to round out our offerings and aligns with our vision as a company."

"In 2015 I started to really get into plant-based foods, always messing around in the kitchen coming up with new and healthier versions of our favorite comfort foods and treats, which Mid-Day Squares was born out of," says Lezlie Karls, Mid-Day Squares CEO. "I love to see companies like PlantX celebrating the goodness of all things plant-based and we are so fired up to be partnering with them!"

Since its inception in October, 2019, the Company's PlantX platform has quickly emerged as an industry leader. As the fledgling plant-based sector continues its explosive growth, the Company will be at the forefront by continually evolving and delivering new ways to expand PlantX. With its forward-looking, cutting edge approach, the Company will continue to secure significant partnerships across North America while exploring innovative ways to expand both its e-commerce capabilities and digital resources to help educate, inspire, and uplift consumers.
