N!CK'S Ice Cream
A trip through the freezer aisle isn't complete without something sweet. And oftentimes, that might mean some ice cream. If you spot N!CK's Light Ice Cream, go for a pint!
The man behind the brand, Niclas Luthman, was on the verge of becoming diabetic, so that prompted him to change his diet. Missing some of his favorite foods, he decided to create healthy, tasty versions of them, including ice cream. The upside is that these pints are low-calorie and contain no added sugar. You love to see it, you really do.
Birds Eye Crispy Green Beans
We get it—sometimes a side dish of plain veggies isn't all that appealing. So when you're in the mood for something a little more exciting (and crunchy), try out Birds Eye's new crispy veggie line. One serving of the lightly breaded green beans is 24 pieces—that's a generous size! See, eating veggies as a snack can be fun.
Pop Bitties
Big fan of savory snacks, but trying to ween off those bags of potato chips? Pop Bitties will be your new best friend. The light, crunchy, ancient grain chips are corn, tree nut, peanut, and gluten-free, and are made with all-natural ingredients. They come in four flavors, too: Pink Himalayan Salt; Maple & Sea Salt; Hickory BBQ; and Vegan Sour Cream & Onion.
ONE S'mores Bar
Protein bars are great to have on hand, whether you're having a busy day, traveling, or just looking for a solid pre- or post-workout snack. ONE Brands brought back the super popular S'mores bar flavor that is only available for a limited time. You can eat half the bar as a pick-me-up, and then eat the other half later in the day—nothing like a snack that can last throughout the day. There really never is a bad time to eat a S'more, and this version is loaded with protein. Although many ONE bars are easily found in tons of stores, this bar you can only get on their website, so be sure to stock up before they're gone again!
