The sweet and sour truth

Amara Fruit Bites check every “clean ingredient” box but miss the mark on flavor and value. Tart, pricey, and gone in seconds, these snacks might impress health labels—but not picky kids.

Nacho average snack

Craving a snack that’s healthy and hits the spot? IMBHO put Thrive Market’s Grain-Free Tortilla Chips and salsa to the test—crunch, salt, spice (or lack thereof) and all. Spoiler: They’re not quite Chipotle, but they just might surprise you.

LÄRA bar none.

Fan-illa cake, even if you can’t bake

I don’t usually trust boxed cake mixes, but Miss Jones Baking Co. might’ve just changed my mind. This organic vanilla mix smells like a bakery, tastes like a dream, and—minus my “oops” moment of overpouring—is pure fan-illa perfection.
