The Fiber of Our Beings + Rising Thistle GF Pop-Up + Chance's Flea Returns to Rebus


- PULP FRICTION -
Spring is all about renewal—fresh starts, fresh greens, and some fresh excuses to eat better. As the rain soaks the earth and everything comes back to life, the Rebus Works crew has been behind the bar, scheming up ways to sneak more macronutrients into our daily routines. And if there’s one that deserves a little more love this season, it’s fiber. Not the boring, cardboard-tasting kind—we’re talking real, satisfying fiber that keeps digestion on track, energy levels steady, and sluggishness at bay. The bonus? It helps balance blood sugar, so you can fully enjoy all the springtime treats without the sugar crashes.

But fiber isn’t just about keeping things moving—it’s your gut’s best defense. A happy microbiome means a stronger immune system, which is key when spring’s unpredictable weather has us sweating one minute and shivering the next. Plus, studies suggest that fiber can help reduce inflammation and even take the edge off seasonal allergies. And if rainy days have you stuck inside and reaching for snacks, fiber is the ultimate appetite regulator, keeping you full and satisfied. In other words, this season is all about Pulp Friction—fiber fighting back against sluggish digestion and snack attacks.

If you’ve been following our newsletters, you know we’re (usually) all about finding the tastiest, healthiest products to keep on our shelves (and in our own pantries). This week, we’re featuring four stellar fibrous finds that make it ridiculously easy to boost your intake without sacrificing flavor. Whether you need a powerhouse breakfast, a grab-and-go snack, or a secret weapon for meal-prep domination, we’ve got you covered.
PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT:
Sweet Deliverance Strawberry & Salty Peanut Granola
Sweet Deliverance Strawberry & Salty Peanut Granola $17.00
Sweet Deliverance's Strawberry and Salted Peanut Granola is a deliciously balanced blend of sweet and savory flavors, combining crunchy oats, roasted peanuts, and freeze-dried strawberries for a satisfying bite. The granola is lightly sweetened with organic maple syrup and coconut sugar, while a touch of sea salt enhances the richness of the peanuts and deepens the overall flavor profile. Crafted with high-quality, organic ingredients, this granola is perfect for sprinkling over yogurt, enjoying with milk, or eating straight from the bag as a wholesome snack. Yum!

Thanks to its whole-grain oats, peanuts, and dried fruit, this granola is an excellent source of fiber. Oats are naturally rich in soluble fiber, particularly beta-glucan, which supports digestive health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Peanuts contribute additional fiber while also providing protein and healthy fats, making this a well-rounded snack that keeps you feeling full longer, especially if you combine it with low-sugar Greek yogurt.
Big Spoon Roasters Nut Butter Nut Bar Apricot Pepita
Big Spoon Roasters Nut Butter Nut Bar Apricot Pepita $3.00
Big Spoon Roasters’ Apricot Pepita Bar is a nutrient-dense, handcrafted snack that blends the bright sweetness of dried apricots with the earthy crunch of roasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds). This bar is made with real, high-quality ingredients, including almond butter, coconut, and wildflower honey, creating a satisfying balance of natural sweetness, nuttiness, and chewiness. Its well-rounded flavor profile makes it a great quick breakfast or on-the-go snack, whether you need a midday pick-me-up or a pre-workout energy boost. With no artificial additives or preservatives, this bar stays true to Big Spoon Roasters’ commitment to wholesome, small-batch food.

A standout feature of the Apricot Pepita Bar is its impressive fiber content (8g!), making it a smart choice for digestive health and sustained energy. Dried apricots are naturally rich in dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, which supports gut health and helps regulate blood sugar levels. Pepitas contribute additional fiber along with healthy fats and plant-based protein, further enhancing satiety. Almonds and coconut also add to the bar’s fiber content, ensuring that every bite delivers a mix of nutrients that promote long-lasting fullness and digestive regularity. Packed with both flavor and function, this bar is an easy way to boost your fiber intake without sacrificing taste.
Umchu Bar - Seed & Seed
Umchu Bar - Seed & Seed $3.50
Umchu’s Seeds and Seeds Bar is a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with a blend of sunflower, flax, chia, and pumpkin seeds for a naturally crunchy, satisfying snack. Lightly sweetened with dates and honey, this bar delivers a subtle caramel-like richness while letting the nutty, earthy flavors of the seeds shine through. With no artificial ingredients or preservatives, it’s a clean and wholesome option for fueling your day.

This bar is an excellent source of fiber, thanks to its diverse mix of seeds and natural sweeteners. Flax and chia seeds are particularly high in soluble fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain steady energy levels. Pumpkin and sunflower seeds contribute additional fiber along with healthy fats and protein, promoting satiety and overall gut health. The dates used as a natural binder also provide a boost of dietary fiber, further supporting digestion and blood sugar regulation. With this well-rounded combination of plant-based ingredients, Umchu’s Seeds and Seeds Bar is a simple yet powerful way to incorporate more fiber into your diet while enjoying a naturally delicious snack.
Poshi Artichokes
Poshi Artichokes $7.00
Poshi’s Artichokes are a convenient and flavorful way to enjoy one of the most fiber-rich vegetables in a ready-to-eat format. Marinated in a light blend of olive oil, vinegar, and Mediterranean herbs, these tender artichoke pieces are packed with rich, earthy flavor and a satisfying texture. They come in perfectly portioned, travel-friendly pouches, making them an easy addition to salads, grain bowls, charcuterie boards, or a quick snack straight from the pack. With no artificial preservatives and minimal processing, Poshi keeps the ingredients simple, allowing the natural goodness of artichokes to shine through.

Artichokes are an incredible source of fiber, making Poshi’s Artichokes a smart choice for digestive health and overall well-being. They are particularly high in prebiotic fiber, which helps nourish beneficial gut bacteria and supports a healthy microbiome. Artichokes also contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, aiding digestion, promoting fullness, and helping regulate cholesterol levels. With their naturally low calorie count and high nutrient density, these marinated artichokes offer a delicious and easy way to boost your fiber intake without any extra prep work.
