DNX Bars:

A different approach to the protein bar with these whole food-based bars. Kind of like jerky, but also not in that they aren’t super salty. They can be pricy, but if you sign up for their emails, they send out super coupon codes and promos. I have seen free shipping plus 25%-50% off specials. I tried the sampler pack before the newest flavor (Peri Peri chicken) came out and they were good, but I LOVE the Peri Peri. It is a bit more salty than the rest, but has the best flavor in my opinion! I love that I can keep these in my purse for a “just in case” snack and not have to worry about them melting like other protein bars.

Back to Nature Mixed Nuts:

Trust me when I tell you that once you try these, you will never be able to go back to regular mixed nuts again. I think the difference is that they don’t add oils. I remember loving Planters mixed nuts, but after I tried these and then ate Planters again, I was very disappointed. Not only was the flavor lacking, but they also had a weird aftertaste! I ruined for anything but these now when it comes to roasted nuts. I have always gotten the Cashew Almond Pistachio mix.

Brad’s Veggie Chips:

To me, they are more like crackers than chips, but either way they are so good. They are gluten free, raw, soy free, and vegan—even the cheddar flavor! They also have crunchy kale chips, but I have not tried those.

Mary’s Gone Crackers:

These are so yummy on their own, but would also make a great chip substitute for dipping. They come in a variety of flavors, but the “Everything” Super Seed (think everything bagel seasoning) is my favorite so far. Gotta try the seaweed black sesame…sounds intriguing! They have an “original” line (which also comes in a variety of flavors), but the supersede line is what I have shown above.

Air-Fried Green Beans:

I love all kinds of things cooked in my Air Fryer, but green beans are my favorite. Spray with olive oil cooking spray and toss in seasoning of choice (my current fav to use for these is this one), then cook per the fryer instructions. I look forward to weekends when I have the time to make these!
