GG Scandinavian Fiber Crispbread Thins
Fiber is so important on many levels. Maintaining a healthy weight, supporting digestion, lowering your cholesterol levels and odds of heart disease, and it also helps reduce your risk of certain cancers. If you are looking for a tasteful fiber-loaded product to add into your diet, GG Scandinavian Fiber Crispbread Thins are the right fit for you. GG crackers are full of soluble fiber (which makes you feel fuller longer) and the original variety contains four grams of fiber, just twenty calories and only two net carbs in each cracker. The crackers are great because you can get creative each day so you don’t get bored adding different spreads or proteins to them. Some of my favorites are natural peanut butter or almond butter, cream cheese with lox, and avocado with swiss. Worried about carbs and still want that pizza? Try some low-fat mozzarella with a light sauce sprinkled with healthy spices. Check out this fiber loaded crispbread at https://www.ggbrancrispbread.com/en/category/all/

Real Food From The Ground Up
Forget the guilt. These are the snacks that you desire with a plant-based twist. Real Food From The Ground Up has a variety of snacks such as crackers, pretzels, puffed snacks, and tortilla chips. What is even better is that they are made with real cauliflower and butternut squash, so no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives. The snacks are all Non-GMO Project Verified and each package comes with a generous amount. Also, coming soon are three new butternut squash-based product offerings: Butternut Squash Tortilla Chips and Stalks (a puffed snack in two flavors). These tasty additions made will be joining their cauliflower counterparts on a shelf near you this fall. As always, the tortilla chips and stalks are made with real veggies so you can feel good about yourself when you have your afternoon treat.

HIPPEAS
I will be honest. I love to munch on Cheetos. However, but my belly disagrees and I always feel bad later and consuming the puffs. Introducing HIPPEAS. What is not to love about an organic snack made from chickpeas that is Non-GMO, gluten free as well as vegan and baked (not fried). HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Puffs have 4 grams of protein (plant power), three grams of fiber and only 130 calories per 1 oz. serving. The snacks come in a variety of delectable flavors such as Vegan White Cheddar, Nacho Vibes, Himalayan Happiness, Bohemian Barbecue and Sriracha Sunrise. HIPPEAS recently released a range of Tortilla Chips that are not only tasty but USDA Organic, certified gluten-free, and vegan. The chickpea chips pack in three grams of protein and three grams of fiber per 1oz serving and are available in three innovative flavors: Straight Up Sea Salt, Rockin’ Ranch and Jalapeno Vegan Cheddar. Satisfy that craving knowing you will still fit into your jeans the next day. Nab it at http://hippeas.com/.
