The Daily Crave Spicy Thai Chili Quinoa Chips: My experience with the brand The Daily Crave, which specialized in veggie-based snacks, has been fairly hit-or-miss (the smoked gouda chips are quite good, but the other cheese flavors I had were so-so). Their Spicy Thai Chili-flavored quinoa chips are the most adventurous I've seen from their line. While I don't normally like quinoa, it lends only a small amount of flavor (that is virtually indistinguishable from other "veggie" chips), and the sweet-and-spicy seasoning is surprisingly tas...

Kimino Sparking Yuzu: I sift through hundreds of snacks both because I love exploring new tastes but also because I'm always looking for a hidden treasure. Sometimes it's a fresh, unexpected flavor combination, while other times it's just the most perfectly executed version of something more familiar. This Kimino sparking yuzu drink falls in the latter category. The small bottle is perfectly sized for a single serving. The bottom contains sediments of yuzu rind (they utilize the entire fruit to make the bevera... (read more) 5.0/5.0

Garden of Eatin' Organic Ranch Corn Tortilla Chips: The timid version of Cooler Ranch for people who like junk food but also want to eat an organic, healthy, grown-up snack. Chips have a creamy and slightly tart buttermilk flavor with the lightest touch of ranch seasoning. Small serving size; barely satisfying. 3.0/5.0

Unfortunately, it is a flavor that probably shouldn't exist elsewhere because it has a starchy, grainy texture almost reminiscent of sesame breakfast porridge you get in powder packs at Asian grocery stores. The boba was also overly soft, with little discernible taste. 2.5/5.0

The Good Bean Chili Lime Chickpeas: I found these chickpea snacks to be more tangy than spicy. Enjoyable straight out of the bag, but fairly messy hand-food. Satisfying. Crunchy texture. While all the chickpea snacks I've seen promote their high protein content, I never quite find them particularly filling. 3.0/5.0

Clover Peach Organic Greek Yogurt: This peach-flavored greek yogurt from California-based dairy brand Clover is just fine – not really anything special to write about here. It's not as thick as Fage or Siggi's in texture, and the peach flavor is standard. 3.0/5.0
