About 3 days. We recommend you refrigerate after opening to stretch this out and for maximum freshness.

What if I have food sensitivities?
POGO is rich in plant-based protein and made with ingredients chosen for simple, clean nutrition.

In addition, if you have other general food sensitivities, we recommend you run the ingredients and nutrition facts panel by your nutritionist, dietitian, allergist, medical professional, or food specialist before consuming POGO.
Are POGO just for kids?
No way. POGO was inspired by nostalgic flavors and made for the kid in all of us. We created them as the snack that both kids and will adults love. We don't believe there should be a reason to have to buy separate snacks for you and your kids.

Yes! One of our favorites: crumble Strawberry Shortcake into Greek yogurt for an instant treat. You can also toss pieces into oatmeal, smoothie bowls or even freeze them for a snack twist.
