Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn
This sweet and savory popcorn is delicious and light — as well as air-popped, non-GMO and gluten-free, with only 70 calories per cup and 4% of your daily recommended fiber intake. It does contain cane sugar, with 8 grams per 2-cup serving.
Annie’s Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks
These bunny-shaped snacks are both kid- and parent-approved, and the variety pack offers flavors to please any taste buds. Naturally vegan, gluten-free and with 70 calories per pouch, these portioned packs keep your sugar in check.
Louisville Vegan Jerky
Even meat lovers will love the bold, chewy, vegan jerky. This locally sourced snack uses all organic ingredients, and is free of nitrates and preservatives. The five BBQ-inspired flavors are so savory and smoky, it’s hard to believe that the protein comes from soy, not beef.
Highkey Mini Chocolate Chip Cookies
These low-carb, crispy chocolate chip cookies are diabetic-friendly, sweetened with monk fruit (also keto-friendly) and gluten- and grain-free.
Brad’s Crunchy Kale
These flavorful kale chips are serious about texture. Every bite has a guaranteed crunch and comes in three unique satisfying flavors for a salty fix, and come from plant-based sources like sunflower seeds, miso and red bell peppers. Savor slowly — each bag contains only two servings.
GoMacro Organic Vegan Protein Bars
These plant-based bars have a flavor for every palate, from peanut butter chocolate chip to maple sea salt, with a soft, cookie-like texture. GoMacro bars have 11 grams of plant-based protein and are gluten-free, raw and non-GMO Project Verified.
Sahale Snacks Trail Mix
Packed with healthy fats, protein and fiber, one-up your gorp with Sahale’s sophisticated flavor combinations like Raspberry Crumble Cashew and Berry Macaroon Almond. You get a sweet and salty pairing of whole nuts, seeds and dried fruit.
Dang Caramel Sea Salt Toasted Coconut Chips
Swap out your standard peanuts for these crispy, caramel-flavored coconut chips. It’s a gluten-free, high-fiber snack with bold flavor (but only three ingredients) to wake up your taste buds. Since it’s real coconut, this snack is on the pricier side.
