Enjoy Life Dill & Sour Cream Plentils Lentil Chips: This bag of alternative chips has an impressive amount of flavor yet has 40% less fat than potato chips. Dill adds an zing that's missing from other sour cream and onion snacks, and texturally, the crispy chips are like little pockets of air, lighter and more satisfying than crackers like Wheat Thins. Would definitely purchase again. 4.0/5.0

Enjoy Life Margherita Pizza Plentils Lentil Chips: At the middle of the venn diagram of chips, rice cakes, and crackers is Plentils, a lentil-based chip that's well seasoned and intensely flavor. The light and crispy texture is somewhat reminiscent of a chicharron, though it's essentially the exact opposite as a vegetarian snack. This particular kind tastes like a zingy version of Totino's pizza rolls, with a sweet tomato aftertaste. Up to this point, I don't think I've come across a more convincing line of plant-based snacks that manages... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Food Should Taste Good Jalapeño tortilla chips: I’m generally a fan of the Food Should Taste Good brand, which in my eyes is Frito Lay for adults. Their range of chips are healthier yet still tasty and familiar, like these jalapeño tortilla chips. The chips are definitely spicy, with a heat that cumulates and overall flavor reminiscent of a good salsa minus the tomato. Well balanced, with the sweet flavor of bell pepper combined with a tasty spice blend. A very likable snack. 4.0/5.0

Forager Wild Blueberry Cashewgurt: While almond and soy are typically in the spotlight for dairy-alternative foods, San Francisco-based Forager utilizes cashews for the same range of products, including cashew milk and yogurt. Continuing my survey into non-dairy yogurts, I purchased several "cashewgurt" yogurt flavors from Berkeley Bowl during a recent sale. The organic Wild Blueberry flavor I tried first was the best. Its texture is slightly runnier than pudding (but not my much) and has a creamy and sweet flavor. It's mo... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Forager Strawberry Cashewgurt: Organic cashew-based yogurt. Beyond its unique dairy-free foundation, the flavor is fairly pedestrian - decent, but not dissimilar from other strawberry flavored yogurts. 3.0/5.0

Forager Lemon Cashewgurt: Lemon (and perhaps citrus more generally) just never seems to work as well as other fruit-flavored yogurt. Its hydrous pulp segments risk watering down the yogurt, and their omission consequently leaves little room for texture. Though zest has the potential to provide a freshness that cuts through a creamy yogurt base, it can, in combination, lead to an overwhelmingly acidic and tart flavor. Rather than seeing lemon standing on its own, I'd like to see more yogurt incorporating lemon as a... (read more) 2.5/5.0
