Calbee Jagarico Double Cheese: I've favorably reviewed Jagarico potato sticks before on this blog but a quick recap – they are tubular, crunchy potato sticks that have a concentrated potato flavor I've found to be the closest to french fries of any off-the-shelf snack. I really liked how this Double Cheese flavor had a creamy mild cheese flavor that's quite different than the more assertive cheddar flavor you find on American cheese-flavored snacks.

Caleb's Kola: Sparkling soda with added kola flavor. Mild carbonation, light. Wish all sodas had at most this amount of sugar (29g). 3.5/5.0

Califa Farm Chocolate Protein Almondmilk: Once in while, I get a craving for chocolate milk, and this single-serving beverage was the perfect amount to satisfy my latest craving. As a non-dairy drink, it's looser than your typical chocolate milk but has a distinct nutty aftertaste. It's also sweeter than I personally prefer but not atypical for chocolate milk. Fortified with vitamins and a substantial amount of protein (6g). 3.5/5.0

Califa Farms Unsweetened almond milk: This unsweetened almond milk from Califa Farms is better than most I’ve had because of its concentrated nutty flavor. The consistency is a bit thin but not surprisingly so for a non-dairy milk. Separately, I also tried the original (sweetened) flavor, which was overly sweet, so if you prefer lighter drinks like me, definitely go for the unsweetened. I used this almond milk to make chia seed puddings but also to drink on its own. 3.5/5.0

Cape Cod Ginger Original Ginger Soda: Sometimes bad packaging can be just as attention-grabbing as good branding, in effect indicating that the company might be spending more on its homemade product than on graphic design. That's likely the case with Cape Cod Ginger, a company specializing in carbonated, organic, cold-pressed ginger drinks of various fruit flavors including passion fruit and pineapple. I opted for the classic, which induced a healthy tingly sensation as good ginger drinks do. Slightly sweeter than I personall... (read more) 3.5/5.0

Cascadian Farm chewy chocolate chip granola bars: Surprisingly substantial for their size (about 1.5x that of a chewy Quaker), very chewy. Just enough chocolate chips - doesn't feel like a dessert (that's a good thing). A quality snack. 3.5/5.0
