Jin+Ja dragon fruit soda: Spicy and fruity ginger soda containing cayenne pepper, ginger pulp, dragon fruit, and passion fruit. Excellent soda for those who think ginger soda tends to be too tame. Sweetness is just right and overall, the drink is very well balanced. Pricy but worth it. 4.5/5.0

Trader Joe's Just Mango slices: Excellent dried fruit snack that had no added sugar. Great because the mangoes are already perfectly sweet. Unlike other dried mangos, you won't get sticky hands since it's unsulfured. Awesome, unadulterated flavor. Only downside is the small serving size (4 pieces). 4.5/5.0

Naia Citrus Collection Fruit Pops (Blood Orange, Tangelo, and Meyer Lemon Sorbetto): Naia is a California-based gelato and sorbetto brand which was originally a shop in Berkeley (one that I unfortunately didn't get a chance to try firsthand as it closed back in 2012). I came across their fruit bars at Ballard Market and was immediately drawn into the unique variety, with each pack featuring a trio of popsicle flavors. This is perfect for me, as I could try three different flavors with a single purchase. The citrus pack features blood orange, tangelo, and Meyer lemon (listed ... (read more) 4.5/5.0
