Horizon Honey Grahams: This wholesome snack is on the sweet side but has a distinct honey flavor. The crackers are more substantial than most kids' snacks. Sadly, the real crackers are less cute than the ones on the box. 3.5/5.0

Christina's Chai Ice Cream: Still my favorite place to get ice cream in Cambridge, Christina's seasonal chai-flavored ice cream is the perfect blend of spice, cream, and sweetness. It has a deep milky flavor, and the spiced cardamon and cinnamon blend builds over time. Perfect for the hot summer days we've been experiencing in Boston. Happy National Ice Cream Day! 4.0/5.0

GoodBelly Lemon Limeade: An acidic juice drink (from concentrate) that also contains probiotics. I found the citrus flavor to be strong and not well balanced. 2.5/5.0

Good Belly coconut water: I purchased two more GoodBelly flavors because of a sale at Whole Foods. The first I tried was coconut water with probiotics added. The drink has a slightly green milky tint, with brown sediments on the bottom. It has a strange flavor added on top of coconut water (I think from the grape juice listed on the ingredients). Not recommended. 2.5/5.0

Trader Joe's This Mango Walks into a Bar Cereal Bar: Adding to their seasonal mango-flavored snacks, Trader Joe's introduced the fruit to their line of cereal bars. While on the sweet side, the mango flavor is concentrated and slightly tart. A decent snack that holds you up for an hour or so. 3.0/5.0

Jia Duo Bao Herbal Tea: This brand of herbal tea seems to have dropped its iconic red bottle for a new golden one. Nonetheless, the flavor is exactly the same: more sweet than herbal but with a refreshing honey flavor. 2.5/5.0
