If we’re being honest here...
Breaking Rules and Budgets
Rule Breaker Snacks’ Chocolate Chunk Blondie Juniors promise “snack time solved,” but at nearly $5 for five cookies, I had to see if they were solving hunger or just breaking my wallet. Here’s how they stacked up.
Candy With a Conscience🍬
These sour blue raspberry strips taste like your childhood favorites—but cleaner, fresher, and way more addictive. Plant-based candy that actually delivers? Believe it.
Review? I Was Too Busy Eating.
Red lentil rice with paprika and garlic that tastes like comfort itself. Gluten-free, plant-based, and certified organic—but most importantly, absolutely delicious. I forgot it was a review.
Sweet, Sour, and Gone in 5 Minutes
Freeze-dried fruit: expensive, addictive, and totally justifiable. Natierra’s pineapple packs a crunchy, tropical punch that tastes like a vacation (but costs like one, too). Here’s why I regret nothing
Mexican rice, Teriyaki rice… and a fight for the last bite
You ever fall in love with a food before the first bite? That’s what happened with Rollin’ Greens’ Mexican and Teriyaki M’Eat rice bowls. From packaging obsession to near-marital snack betrayal, here’s the delicious drama you didn’t know you needed.
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.
Be careful what you wish for.
Three Wishes Granola checks all the right boxes—gluten-free, grain-free, vegan, and low sugar—but somewhere between the monk fruit and the maple syrup, it forgot to taste amazing. More “health goal” than “snack joy.”
Cold Brew, Hot Mess
Pop & Bottle’s Vanilla Cold Brew may look classy, but beneath the sleek can lies disappointment. Weak flavor, bad aftertaste, and sky-high prices make this “moment of indulgence” feel more like a scam.
Fluff you, Jet-Puffed
I never thought I’d say this, but Jet-Puffed marshmallows are dead to me. Dandies have completely redefined what a marshmallow should be—clean, rich, and free of questionable junk. If you’re ready to upgrade your marshmallow game, read on.
Flackers Crackers: for the birds.
Ever wondered what it’s like to snack on bird seed? Flackers Flax Seed Crackers might just give you that experience. Packed with whole flax seeds and marketed as a health-conscious snack, these crackers come with a hefty price tag- but do they taste good?
The Verb verdict.
Verb Energy Bars blend caffeine and protein in one chewy bite—without the crash or jitters. Two flavors hit the mark, one flopped hard, and that price tag? Painful. IMBHO—
Oat of this world or just crumb-y?
BoBo’s Oat Snack Bites sound like cozy apple-pie-in-a-box, but end up dry, dense, and overpriced. Great ingredients, terrible texture, and a sugar shock in a single bite. IMBHO?
Soom to be gone
I didn’t think I’d ever say this about a snack made from dates, but Soom’s Tahini Double Chocolate Bites are dangerously delicious. Soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet, these plant-based gems turned my skepticism into obsession. IMBHO—
NuttZo not so GreatZo
NuttZo promised a premium blend of seven nuts and seeds, but what I got was a $13 jar of oily pumpkin seed spread. While it’s clean, organic, and nutrient-rich, the flavor fell flat and the texture was a mess. IMBHO—
Zero credence given to Credo
Credo’s Smoky Cheddar Oat Milk Cheeze promised creamy, plant-based comfort. What I got was liquid smoke with a side of regret. It’s dairy-free and allergen-friendly, sure—but the taste and texture made this an IMBHO..
Chick me in or out?
Chickpea’s Pepper & Parm One-Pot Pasta had me hopeful—15 grams of protein, clean ingredients, and a promise of pasta perfection. But while the flavor was strong and satisfying, the texture left a film I couldn’t ignore.
