Snacks

Corn chips don’t cut it. These snacks are rich in fiber, protein and other good stuff, but equally full of flavor.

Epic Maple Glazed and Smoked Tender Salmon Bites

Be careful, this snack is addictive. The maple glaze on these salmon jerky bites makes them tender and easy to chew. Meaning, the consumer will finish the bag before remembering to share. Plus, bites are made from 100% wild caught salmon sourced in Alaska, a touch of maple and coconut oil, with an added hint of dill for flavor. SRP: $5.99

Rhythm Superfoods Organic Beet Chips

With the crispness of a chip and the earthy-sweet flavor of a beet, this dehydrated snack is literally just beet slices, so they retain the nitrates, fiber and potassium that make them such a nutritious treat. Flavors include Naked, Slightly Salted, Pickled and dressed up Cinnamon and Coconut Sugar. SRP: $3.99

Patagonia Provisions Organic Fruit Bars 

Patagonia Provisions was created as a way for the outdoor sports company to bring the same awareness it has brought to environmental issues to regenerative organic agriculture. Not surprisingly, the eater can imagine fresh fruit being picked from a tree when biting into these bars made with simple ingredient profiles, including Inca berries, almonds, chia seeds and dried pears and apples. SRP: $2.50

Spinato’s Broccoli Crust Handcrafted Pizza

While fresh isn’t usually the first word attributed to frozen pizza, Spinato’s line of broccoli crust pizzas changes that. Already known for its gluten-free crusts, this company’s plant-based offering was a result of consumers asking for more variations of gluten free. Available in four varieties, your customers will particularly like the Margherita with slow-roasted tomatoes. SRP: $8.99
