If we’re being honest here...
The Verb verdict.
Verb Energy Bars promise plant-based protein and a subtle caffeine boost in a convenient, chewy package. But do they live up to the hype—or justify the steep price? Are they worth your hard-earned cash?
LÄRA bar none.
Can a snack bar be healthy, sustainable, and kid-approved? LÄRABAR Kids promises all three, but does it deliver? My 4-year-old food critic and I put these mini bars to the test. Spoiler: the chocolate chip flavor might just win your heart (and your kid's too).
Oat of this world or just crumb-y?
BoBo's Oat Snack Bites promise wholesome ingredients and a healthy lifestyle, but do they deliver on flavor and satisfaction? Find out whether these oat-filled snacks live up to the hype or fall flat.
Pip Pip Hooray!
Can heirloom Pipcorn Cheese Balls really outshine the neon-orange cheese puffs of our childhood? Dive into the flavor, crunch, and... unexpected aroma of this elevated snack.
Simply sweet
Looking for a healthier snack that could change the way you eat sweet treats? Simple Mills Sweet Thins Chocolate Brownie promises a chocolatey, guilt-free indulgence with real, simple ingredients.
Righteous or wrong?
Righteous Felon’s Teriyaki Balboa has pretty good claims on ethical sourcing and 20g of protein, but unfortunately, the flavor disappoints—more whisper than punch.
At nearly $18 for 2 oz., it’s hard to justify the price.
What’s the best jerky you’ve ever had? Let’s hear it in the comments!
Don’t miss this maple kiss
Skinny Dipped Maple Kiss Almonds are the perfect blend of a ‘soft almond’ crunch and subtle sweetness. With their creamy yogurt coating with a kiss of maple, they’re a snack you won’t want to share. Dive into my review to see why this sweet treat has me hooked!
Indulge in guilt-free delight
Pop-Tarts have always been a nostalgic favorite, but their artificial ingredients are less than desirable. Enter Nature’s Path Organic Toaster Pastries—a cleaner, tastier option with real fruit and no synthetic dyes. I’m sure these breakfast pastries will be a new favorite in your household!
Soom to be gone
Soom Snack Bites (Tahini Double Chocolate) are delectable, sweet treats for anyone that craves sweets but want treats that are plant-based and vegan. From the fudgy texture to their perfect balance of sweet and nutty, these bites were worth every penny.
NuttZo not so GreatZo
Is it worth $13? Is NuttZo 7-nut butter a game changer or is it just an overpriced pumpkin seed spread in hiding? The upside jar intrigued me but the grainy texture drove me away. My brutally honest review will uncover any of your questions. Is it worth splurging on?
I’m corn-flicted
“I’m corn-flicted” sums it up perfectly. Fillo’s Walking Tamales - Corn Poblano Rajas are convenient, clean, and vegan-friendly, but do they deliver the taste? I am honestly torn- the aroma is tantalizing, but the texture reminds me of refried beans (which are definitely not my favorite). Did they deliver? Or did they disappoint?
Zero credence given to Credo
I’ll admit, trying Credo’s Smoky Cheddar Oat Milk Cheeze was more than a challenge—not just for my taste buds but for my cheese-loving soul. Its smoky aroma and its liquid texture, this plant-based alternative pushed all my boundaries. Was it worth it? Let’s just say, some experiments are best left in the can…
Fan-illa cake, even if you can’t bake
Miss Jones Baking Co.'s Vanilla Cake Mix, a premium organic option for baking lovers. At a slightly higher price point than most cake mixes, it promises a "from-scratch" taste, and I was more than ready to put it to the test. With details about the ingredients, baking experience, and a few mishaps along the way, I share my thoughts on whether this cake mix really delivers. Will it be the vanilla dream I hoped for, or a total flop? Spoiler: It’s absolutely delicious—if you follow the instructions!
