Trader Joe's sour cream and onion corn puffs: Has a hint of junk-food sour cream & onion taste without all the guilt typically associated with fried snacks of the same flavor. Texture is not the greatest, at an awkward place far from crunchy yet too dense to dissolve gracefully. A great value at $1.99 for a huge bag, though. 3.0/5.0

Suja organic Mango Magic drink: I would describe this beverage as a slightly spiced version of Odwalla's Mango Tango. They contain almost the exact same ingredients (apple juice, mango purພ, orange juice, and banana purພ), but Suja's has the addition of ginger juice, which gives it a subtle hint of spice at the finish. There are no added sweeteners, as the ingredients are naturally sweet, making the drink overall very sugary (44g per bottle). I liked it but think I might have been better off eating some fresh fruit instead. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's honey Greek yogurt: Like other TJ's non-fat Greek yogurts I've had, this one is on the thin side. But unlike other honey-flavored yogurt I've had more generally, TJ's does a good job balancing sweet and tart. A pretty good value and decent snack. 3.0/5.0

Seven Stars Farm organic lowfat plain yogurt: This yogurt comes from a dairy farm in Chester County, PA and has a tangy flavor. Because no artificial thickness are added to the yogurt, it quickly develops an uneven, clumpy texture after opening. I found the texture to be slightly off putting but also wondered if this is just what "natural" yogurt tastes like. Until I try others like this, I can't say for sure. 3.0/5.0

Paldo Soo Jeong Gwa: A canned version of a traditional Korean punch called sujeonggwa, typically made with dried persimmons, spiced with cinnamon and ginger, and garnished with pine nuts. The can is smaller than normal at 8 oz, which is good since it's sweet enough that you wouldn't necessarily want to drink more. Pretty refreshing, but in small quantities. Strong cinnamon flavor. 3.0/5.0

Frito Lay Oven Baked Cheetos: Here, Frito-Lay continues its venture into healthier snacking, yet doesn't abandon the iconic Chester seal of approval. The oven-baked cheese crackers have a less tangy "cheddar" flavor than its fried (?) counterpart. Most strikingly, the chips are less airy and don't melt-in-your-mouth like the regular snack does. Overall, it's a decently filling snack that does the job of satiating mid-day hunger. 3.0/5.0
