Brands I Love
Each year, 20-30K new food products are introduced in the U.S. – many of them are ultra processed and contain additives, fillers and inflammatory oils which make them cheap to make and not so great for our health. But some are truly clean, delicious, nutrient dense and worth sharing – below you will find a short list of the ones I love and thought you might too.
How I Choose These Snacks
Every product on this page has been vetted for ingredient quality. I look for the cleanest options available: short, recognizable ingredient lists with no unnecessary additives, fillers, artificial flavors or colors, or hydrogenated oils. Whenever possible, I choose organic and minimally processed foods.
