Shribark Original Cranberry Spice bar: This square-shaped snack bar contains a hearty amount of oats and nuts. It's sweeter than I personally would prefer, with whole dried cranberries, but nonetheless has a healthy-snack vibe. Purchased from the Leanbox. 3.0/5.0

Open Nature Sweet Onion and Sour Cream Pita Chips: Made of all natural ingredients, these pita chips have a satisfying crunch (though they are messy to eat) and taste much sweeter than your typical sour cream and onion flavored snack. Reminiscent of a caramelized onions. Filling and generally satisfying. 3.0/5.0

Maya Kaimal Seeded Multigrain Chickpea Crisps: A gluten-free tortilla chip made from chickpea and rice, with a slight spiced flavor from Asafetida. Its taste is reminiscence of a mild papadum, with a fried vegetable aftertaste. Seasoning is a bit inconsistent but on the whole is light. A decent snack on its own but I imagine would also pair well with a variety of salsas and dips. 3.0/5.0

Pepperidge Farm Pizza flavored Goldfish: I stopped buying regular cheddar Goldfish after I found they got really salty a few years ago, but I was at a grocery store with few snack options and realized I hadn't had pizza Goldfish in a long time. Overall, I find them less salty than the cheddar ones, and they have a zesty tomato flavor similar to a mild form of Totino's pizza rolls (which I love, by the way). Probably the best of the original, non-xtra flavored Goldfish crackers. 3.0/5.0

Cedar's Classic Original Hommus with Hommus Chips Snack Pack: I purchased this snack pack from my lab's leanbox, and it's about what you would expect. The chips are a bit like Fritos, but thinner and less unhealthy. The amount of hummus is generous and has a decent garlic-y flavor. 3.0/5.0

Happy Lemon Yakult Lemon Slushy: I returned to the Happy Lemon in Boston (located in the Arcade Mall in Downtown Crossing) and ordered a Yakult Lemon Slushy drink this time. Yakult is a popular Japanese yogurt drink that comes in cute plastic containers. The texture of the slush was good but melted quickly in the summer heat. The boba was much improved from my first visit, with a good amount of give. Overall, the drink was on the sweet side but balanced out by the acidity of the lemon drink. 3.0/5.0
