This week I went to the Fancy Food Show in New York City.
It gave me the chance to scout out new healthy brands and products, meet the owners of brands and ask questions about ingredients. I wasn’t able to go through every single aisle and stop at every single booth (my legs and feet got very tired after a few hours)!
I only recommend foods that I try, so here are The Top 22 Healthy products that I tasted myself and are “Be Well with Arielle approved.”
Post your healthy snacks on instagram and tag me @bewellwitharielle so I can see what you liked from the list!
Here are The Top 22 Healthy Products from the Summer Fancy Food Show:
1. Seven Sundays Muesli (Blueberry Chia Buckwheat) – gluten-free, nut-free and no refined sugars or oils make this a perfect, quick breakfast. Just pour some almond milk on top and voila, or soak them overnight in almond milk and eat in the morning, or heat up almond milk to a boil and cook for 3 minutes on low for a warming breakfast. Already sweetened with honey so no need to add any extra sweetener. Fast, simple and yummy.
2. Two Mom’s (Cacao Nib Mini Bar) – A little healthy treat when you’re craving something crunchy and sweet. Made with organic almonds, organic pecans, organic walnuts, organic agave, organic cacao nibs, organic vanilla, organic spices and sea salt – quick and healthy.
3. Two Mom’s (Cayenne Cacao Nut Butter Truffle) – When you crave chocolate, this is a great go-to, and the cayenne gives it a fun little kick on your tongue too!
4. Gimme Chips (Sea Salt Seaweed Rice Chips) – Yummy and crunchy, these are a great alternative to tortilla chips made with corn. Sea vegetables, like seaweed provide your body with minerals to help your hair and nails grow.
5. Danielle’s (Spicy Carrot Chips) – Sweet, crunchy and perfect to eat alone or dip into some hummus.
6. Heavenly Organics (Mint Chocolate Honey Patties) – Perfect little individual wrapped treats made with just 3 ingredients: 100% organic dark chocolate, organic raw white honey, peppermint oil. If you love peppermint patties, you’ll fall in LOVE with these. Put them in the freezer for an extra treat.
7. Simply Gum (Mint) – When I chew gum, this is my go-to. The taste doesn’t last too long, but I love that it’s made with all natural ingredients and no artificial sweeteners or flavors. The cinnamon flavor is delish, also.
8. Seasnax (Lime Seaweed Snacks) – such a crunchy, healthy, on-the-go snack. Great to eat at work, or to pack in your kid’s lunch box. This lime flavor is coming soon. If you’re not a fan of seaweed, you may like these a little better and if you’re already a fan of seaweed, you’re going to fall in love with these. Just a hint of fresh citrus and so delish.
9. Tava (Himalyan Salt Ghee) – lactose-free alternative to butter. Spread it onto toast, scramble eggs with it or bake with it! No need to add any salt to your dish. Tasty, healthy and will melt in your mouth.
10. Peas Please (Southwest Spice Baked Pea Snacks) – most “veggie” snacks are made from corn, potatoes, fillers and actually no veggies at all. A new product by Peeled Snacks, these organic snacks are made with five ingredients you can pronounce – including organic whole peas and whole grain brown rice. Crunchy and yummy and the perfect way to get your greens in with one whole vegetable per serving. Bring to work, on the plane, to the beach or put in your kid’s lunch box!
11. The Good Bean (Sea Salt Baked Chickpeas) – Each bag contains one serving so it’s great for an on-the-go snack or to pack in your bag to add to salads for extra protein, fiber and healthy crunch. I like the sea salt flavor – made of just chickpeas, oil and salt.
12. Nourish Snacks (Granny’s Apple Pie) – This mix of dried apples and walnuts always satisfies my craving for sweet and savory. No added sugar is always a plus!
13. Our Daily Nuts (Mexican Cocoa Almonds) – sweetened with a touch of maple syrup, these satisfy your craving for sweet and crunchy. Add to a trail mix or just eat out of the bag on their own.
14. Heavenly Organics (Chocolate Ginger, Chocolate Almond and Chocolate Mint) – delicious treat for anytime. 3 flavors and just 3 ingredients – chocolate, honey and almond extract, ginger extract or peppermint extract! Dairy free, gluten free, no added sugar, all natural, nothing artificial. #yum
15. Drink Maple (Maple Water) – great drink, especially if you don’t like the taste of coconut water. High in electrolytes and just a tad sweet, so add some ice and drink on its own, or add to a smoothie for a post workout treat.
16. Beanitos (Hint of Lime Bean Chips) – this flavor is coming out soon to a store near you! If you love chips as much as I do, and especially love the flavored varieties – like cheese, BBQ, salt and vinegar, you’re going to be so obsessed with these. So delicious to just eat on their own, and high in fiber and protein. Get excited.
17. Sunbutter (No Sugar Added Sunflower Butter) – if you love peanut butter, try this nut-free version. It’s made of sunflower seeds so you can spread it onto your kids sandwiches and dont have to worry about packing in their lunchbox for camp or school.
18. Cham (Honey-Chamomile Tea) – a very tasty, non-caffeinated cold-brewed iced tea. A hydrating treat when you’re craving something sweet and need something relaxing. 1 Tablespoon of raw honey in each bottle.
19. Wild Zora (Grass-Fed Beef and Veggie Bar) – a tasty, high protein snack made of grass-fed meat and veggies! One package contains 7g of protein. Great post-workout snack to help replenish your energy and muscles.
20. Organic Gemini Tigernut (Raw Granola) – a gluten-free and nut-free granola from the popular producers of the tigernuts. Eat out of the bag as a snack – they’re like tiny little crackers – or, add some milk and eat for breakfast. High in protein and fiber.
21. Chickpeatos (Tomato Basil Organic Chickpea Snacks) – These taste like little tiny pizzas in your mouth! They’re crunchy like a pretzel, high in protein and fiber. Perfect to eat out of the bag, or top onto salad for a tasty added crunch.
22. King Soba (Organic Black Rice Ramen) – 4 individual cakes. These are perfect for quick lunch dinner – takes 2-3 minutes to cook in boiling water. Tastes like soba noodles and adds a gorgeous purplish-black tint to dishes.
