New Age Snack Guide

everyone needs a little snack

We’re going to get right to the point here. No long intro needed on this subject. Snacks are snacks, and I don’t need to tell you why you should care. I cover packaged snacks and cobbled-together-from-anything-in-the-fridge snacks (“real food”). This second category includes anything delicious and easy that is smaller than a meal. Of course this area is vast, but I’ll try to cover the classics.

This guide does not cover treats. Treats need their own post. You understand.

What is “new age”? Apparently, I have no idea. I took (take) it to mean modern, current, healthier than Hot Cheetos? My Google search provided:

This guide isn’t interested in spirituality, mysticism, or holism. It isn’t NOT interested in environmentalism, but that clearly isn’t the focus. I just think “new age” sounds fun, and also healthier in a chic, sophisticated way. I hope nobody is confused! I was comforted by a second search:

Thx, let’s get into it.

KEY:

• snacks I can’t live without = ⭐️

• no seed oils = 🫒

• low carb = 🥩

• sugar-free = 🎀

If you follow an anti-inflammatory diet, it’s best to avoid highly processed seed oils and instead opt for snacks with beef tallow or olive, coconut, or avocado oil. Of course, the healthiest snacks are ones not found in a package at all. Single ingredient foods (apple, cheese, nuts, etc.). The less ingredients the better.

Most of these reccs plus more can also be found in my Amazon collections: Snacks, Clean Treats, Protein, Sugar Detox, Core Grocery List, and Pantry Essentials. Find my whole storefront here.
