Updated September 2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are more and more products marketed as healthy these days, but if you\u2019re like me, you look closely at the labels and realize that they\u2019re not really (in my opinion). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
My list is all (except the last category for refrigerated things) able to be taken on the go, and could be used for school lunches\/ snack time\/ treats\/ holidays such as Valentines, Easter, Halloween, Christmas, and birthdays. Many can be found on Amazon if the links aren\u2019t included. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is a large focus on avoiding sugar (even natural sugar) and I believe they are all free of grain (one thing noted has rice but I usually avoid it), gluten, soy, corn, peanuts, artificial color, citric acid, and dairy (and possibly vegan)<\/strong> except for one cracker and kind bars that is noted, but if you have an allergy, do your due diligence. Most are free from unhealthy oils and things like sketchy preservatives. Most are organic unless noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is my post on best and worst sugar substitutes<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This post may contain Amazon Associates affiliate links, that I may earn small amounts from. See the bottom of this page for more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Paleovalley Superfood Bars these are the least toxic \/ best ingredients bars there are in my opinion. This link<\/a> this should get you any of their products for 15%. <\/p>\n\n\n\n -Organic nuts and seeds, or large coconut flakes (I buy Terrasoul brand coconut and walnuts).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Unsweetened almond butter or coconut butter such as these Artisana Organics Raw Almond Butter Snack Packs (Amazon Associates link https:\/\/amzn.to\/3KVGakW)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Lesser Evil brand popcorn is available in individual sized bags. I don\u2019t use any of their products containing cassava because they tested for high heavy metals. They also sometimes contain citric acid or maltodextrin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Rhythm Superfoods brand makes organic dried kale chips, beet chips, and carrot sticks<\/a> that taste great. Be sure to get the plain, unflavored ones to avoid additives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013Thrive market<\/a> or Nuco organic coconut wraps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013Dang Coconut Products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n –Thrive market<\/a> organic coconut flake cereal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Sana Foods organic coconut chips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Barnana organic plantain chips (cooked in coconut oil).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Kapok Naturals organic quinoa pop cereal puffs (Amazon Associates link https:\/\/amzn.to\/3ryWwbx<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -For bread, I use organic, gluten free (I think vegan too) Happy Campers bread mix and I bake it at home (so I can tweak ingredients and avoid non-stick pans that manufacturers rolls are ok ingredients, but their bread contains rice. Simple Kneads uses raisin juice, which adds to the sugars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013Thrive market<\/a> non-gmo grain free tortilla chips (not organic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Thrive Market non-gmo sweet potato chips (not organic, but sweet potatoes are on the list of things with low pesticides. Cooked in coconut oil which is good).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Thrive Market non-gmo grain free taco shells (not organic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Taali brand non-gmo water lily puffs (not organic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n – The New Primal, Sea Salt Beef Thin jerky. Amazon Associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3v3EDDD<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n – New Primal Classic Beef Meat Stick. Grass fed but not organic. Amazon Associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Laep8c<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Paleovalley pasture-raised (though not all organic) superfood bars and turkey jerky sticks. They were the cleanest ingredients I could find for this type of product. Keep in mind that I looked at Chomps, Epic, etc. They also make a beef version but it contained non-organic celery juice, so I buy the turkey. I know some people will roll their eyes at that, but the #hardcorenontoxic types will relate. Check out this post for discount codes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Hungry Buddha bars (contain monk fruit but I don\u2019t mind the taste) available from Thrive Market. These aren\u2019t organic though and contain erythritol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Jovial organic sourdough Einkhorn Crackers (available from Thrive Market). These have wheat\/ gluten but are thought to be a better\/ more digestible form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Larabar Kids bars. These have sugar and aren\u2019t organic, but there\u2019s nothing particularly worrying in them and they don\u2019t have dairy or gluten, so this is something I personally indulge in sometimes. Amazon associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/404hgYz<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Sometimes Aldi has snacks that are good to OK. Look for the organic or keto section and check the ingredients label carefully. I\u2019m not naming any specific products, because with these kinds of things, you never know if they\u2019re going to be in stock or if they are limited edition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -From The Ground Up brand has a few snacks that are tasty but are not organic, contain vegetable oil and have ingredients I don\u2019t consider non-toxic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -For cereals, Lovebird (tested for 5 ppb lead which is the limit for what\u2019s considered acceptable; but all cereals I\u2019ve seen tested are much higher) or Three Wishes (not organic). Thrive Market makes an Organic Coconut Flakes cereal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n -Organic whole bananas, apples, or clementines (which look like pumpkins).<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Freeze dried strawberries: https:\/\/amzn.to\/49PZtbt<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Organic fruit leathers from Soley (Amazon affiliate link https:\/\/amzn.to\/38N9cos<\/a>) or Clif Bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Emmy\u2019s Organics coconut cookies (sweetened with agave). Amazon associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3tD2pIE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Tosi Snacks. These are organic and tested free of PFAS. They do have some cane sugar though. Amazon associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Q0tsFj<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -UPDATE: These tested as having higher cadmium and arsenic levels BUT keep in mind, I haven\u2019t seen any other bars tested yet, so it\u2019s possible that all bars are similar levels. Cerebelly organic bars. Contains grains, natural flavors and some ingredients may be lead risks, but there\u2019s no added sugar besides fruits. Amazon associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3WDxsh0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Aloha organic protein bars and drinks. These have some ingredients, such as rice, that aren\u2019t totally my ideal, but are organic, delicious, and filling. Amazon associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/46CkxRy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Dino Bars are basically organic fruit with coconut oil and oats: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3VMH4rX<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Square Organic protein bars. Some people love these. They are expensive and have quite a bit of sugar, but at least they are organic and the ingredients aren\u2019t too terrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Skout organic bars. I don\u2019t buy these because some ingredients (sunflower butter) may be lead risks so they sometimes have prop 65 labels. but there\u2019s no added sugar besides fruits. Amazon associates link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3CgNxAS<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n –Amara Plant-Based Yogurt Smoothie Melts. <\/a>(Not an affiliate link). Coconut milk and fruits\/ vegetables are the only ingredients and everything is organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Coconut Secret grain free granola bars. Note these have a significant amount of sugar, but from natural coconut. These may be discontinued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2013Non-gmo dehydrated dragon fruit chips (not organic). I haven\u2019t been able to find organic ones, but these have no added sugar: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HTS2E7<\/a> or Thrive market<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n -Mini Kind or Lara bars. They aren\u2019t organic, but at least the kind bars have low sugar. But the kind bars have peanuts sometimes, and at least one ingredient I don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n – Mary\u2019s Gone Crackers<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n -Wholesome Organic lollipops. Amazon affiliate link: https:\/\/amzn.to\/3nXHxpL<\/a> These don\u2019t have artificial dyes, or the brown rice syrup (which contains arsenic) that other brands such as Yum Earth Pops do. I\u2019m shocked that so many other bloggers recommend Yum Earth. These appear to be out of production but I hope they come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -These are the least toxic lollipops I have found. They claim to be 100% Organic Pure Honey, and Non-GMO Pure White Cane Sugar. https:\/\/amzn.to\/4bdMYXc<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alter Eco chocolate brand has low lead (see my chocolate blog<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n -A healthier version of Reese\u2019s peanut butter cups: Justin\u2019s organic peanut butter or almond butter cups. If I were to buy these I\u2019d get the almond butter because peanuts have a number of concerning health aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Lebby brand chocolate covered chickpeas or sesame chickpeas. They aren\u2019t organic though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Smashmallow is the best choice in my opinion, for marshmallows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Glee Gum comes in cardboard, not plastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These could be useful for making snacks, lunches, party appetizers, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Foyager organic unsweetened yogurt<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Tolerant organic lentil macaroni and pasta<\/p>\n\n\n\n -Sana Foods organic coconut wraps<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2043 Siete brand has some tasty wraps and snacks, but I don\u2019t think any of them are organic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a sugar binge recovery guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And here is Terracycle<\/a>, a way to recycle things like candy wrappers that normally can\u2019t go in curbside recycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are tests<\/a> for finding out the lead levels in food samples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is a post I made about how to eat healthy while traveling<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a post I made for avoiding toxicants on airplanes<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here\u2019s a post I made for avoiding toxicants on on cruises: https:\/\/cleangreentoxicantfree.com\/index.php\/2024\/02\/21\/disney-cruise-tips-for-health-allergies-avoiding-toxicity-and-helpful-hacks\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n My guide to: Just How Toxic is Fast Food\/ Eating Out?
