Straus Family Creamery Organic Plain Nonfat Yogurt: What exactly is European-style yogurt? Having seen this labeling on Trader Joe's and now Strauss Family Creamery yogurt, I decided to investigate, discovering conflicting claims that Trader Joe's European-style yogurt just may come from Straus Family Creamery. Regardless, these sources did not clarify what is meant by European-style, but I can say that it's more runny than regular yogurt, yet still fully solid (not watery). The flavor is also pleasantly tart and easily balanced with just ... (read more) 4.0/5.0

Barbara's High Fiber Medley: Lands squarely at the intersection of muesli and cereal, with a combination of crunchy flakes, soft oats, and fiber "twigs" that add texture. Sweetened just enough for flavor while still feeling like an appropriately adult cereal. Extremely healthy, with an abundance of fiber and protein. A great start to the day. 4.0/5.0

Clif Bar Kid Iced Lemon Cookie Z Bar: There are very few times in life where free samples influenced me to support a brand. Back in 2011, I was manning a booth at Maker Faire Bay Area, and after hours of demoing, I was exhausted and extremely hungry. Making my way to the fast food trucks, I came across a Clif Bar tent providing free samples of their line of children's energy snacks. They were both tasty and filling, and I found myself forgoing garlic fries in favor of a healthier alternative. When I saw the bars on sale at B... (read more) 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

The Daily Crave Smoked Gouda Lentil Chips: Fully flavored veggie chips for those seeking a cheesy snack beyond cheddar. Large rectangular shape and hearty bite. The packaging suggests pairing with a dip, but they are deliciously addictive on their own. A worthy replacement for potato chips, and a much healthier alternative at that. 4.0/5.0

Kite Hill Pineapple almond milk yogurt: Typically, I don't particularly like pineapple or dairy-free yogurt, but Kite Hill's almond milk yogurt is a unexpectedly good find. Yes, the texture is thin, even for non-Greek yogurt, but it has a faint sweetness that you only find in almond-flavored foods, and its mellow creaminess is lifted by tangy pineapple. The best almond yogurt I've had to date. 4.0/5.0
