Snow Angell White Chocolate Candy Bar

In a word, I'm smitten. This creamy white chocolate bar is wrapped around a delectable coconut center (made with organic coconut), and it's so incredible, it's downright heavenly... According to the manufacturer, "everyone who tries it loves it," and how could they not?? This bar is so ridiculously delicious it defies superlatives! The Snow Angell stats: No Artificial Flavors Non-GMO No Preservatives Organic Certified Ingredients White Chocolate (Cane Sugar, Whole Milk, Cocoa Butter, Soy Lecithin (an emulsifier), Natural Vanilla), Tapioca Syrup, Oats, Dried Coconut, Honey, Coconut Extract with other Natural Flavors, Sea Salt.

Kale Krunch

Maybe I was already biased because I LOVE kale, but Alive & Radiant Foods just sent me samples of Kale Krunch, and I was instantly head over heels! The crunchy kale leaves come in several flavors such as Tarragon Dijon, Southwest Ranch, and Hibiscus & Pink Peppercorn (hands down my favorite). They're all fantastic except for the Chockalet Chip Kale Krunch, which, despite the highly believable hype that chocolate and kale go together well, is downright horrible (sorry guys). I downed a 2.2 oz bag for lunch which, for 160 calories, was surprisingly filling. The other nutritional facts (other than being a bit high in sodium--230mg for the Hibiscus & Pink Peppercorn) were pretty impressive--45% daily value of Vitamin A, 35% of Vitamin C, 6% of Iron, 4% of Calcium and Thiamin, and 2% of Niacin, Folate, and Riboflavin. The product is raw, yeast free, gluten free, and vegan and made with organic ingredients. Delicious and good for you! Yay!! Try it: Kale Krunch
