The Dark Chocolate Lover’s Chocolate Bar (85% Cacao)
This rich, bittersweet bar is a favorite among dark chocolate enthusiasts for its high cacao content and low sugar profile. Made with 85% cacao, it’s packed with flavonoids—plant compounds shown to support heart health by improving cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Each square contains just 26 calories and 0.5 grams of sugar, making it a smart way to satisfy chocolate cravings without overindulging.
Oven-Baked Cheese Bites
These crunchy bites are made entirely from cheese, offering a satisfying snack that’s both high in protein and low in carbohydrates. Each serving provides 15 grams of protein and less than one gram of carbs, making them an excellent choice for those following low-carb or ketogenic diets. They’re also a good source of calcium and are gluten-free, catering to various dietary needs.
Papadums Lentil and Chickpea Crisps
Inspired by traditional Indian snacks, these crisps are made from lentil and chickpea flour, seasoned with cumin and salt. They offer a unique flavor profile and a satisfying crunch, with each 14-crisp serving containing 5 grams of protein and 3 grams of dietary fiber. These crisps are a flavorful, nutritious alternative to conventional chips, suitable for various dietary preferences.
Elevated Nut Mix
This premium blend includes lightly salted roasted almonds, cashews, macadamia nuts, and pecans. Rich in heart-healthy fats, plant-based protein, and magnesium, this mix supports satiety, brain health, and blood sugar regulation. It’s a convenient, nutrient-dense snack that can help maintain energy levels throughout the day.
Norwegian Sourdough Rye Chips
These chips are crafted from rye berries, sunflower seeds, and flaxseeds, offering a nutty, earthy flavor with a touch of salt. Each 10-piece serving contains 150 calories, 8 grams of fat, and 3 grams of fiber. They provide a wholesome, crunchy snack option that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
Chocolate & Peanut Butter Lover’s Nut Mix
This indulgent mix combines almonds, cashews, cocoa-dusted dark chocolate almonds, mini milk chocolate peanut butter cups, mini pretzel sticks, and tiny chocolate chip cookies. A ¼-cup serving contains 160 calories, 11 grams of fat, and 4 grams of protein. While it’s a treat, the combination of nuts and chocolate offers a balance of protein and sweetness for a satisfying snack.
Chile Seasoned Dried Mango
These dried mango slices are seasoned with chile powder, creating a snack that’s sweet, tart, salty, and spicy. Each 7-piece serving contains 130 calories, 31 grams of carbohydrates, and 1 gram of protein. It’s a flavorful, fat-free option that can satisfy sweet and spicy cravings.
Ranch Seasoned Cashews
These cashews are coated with ranch seasoning, offering a savory snack that’s both flavorful and satisfying. A ¼-cup serving provides 180 calories, 15 grams of fat, and 5 grams of protein. They’re a tasty alternative to plain nuts, adding variety to your snack options.
Organic Apple Cinnamon Fruit Sauce Crushers
These convenient pouches contain a blend of organic apple purée, organic cinnamon, and ascorbic acid to maintain color. Each pouch offers a portable, low-fat snack with no added sugars, making it suitable for both kids and adults. They’re perfect for on-the-go snacking or as a lunchbox addition.
Grainless Granola
This granola is made from a mix of nuts and seeds, including almonds, coconut, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds, providing a grain-free alternative to traditional granola. While it’s not organic and contains added sugars, it offers a blend of wholesome ingredients for those seeking a grain-free option.
