Life on the go... Better for all aged humans, nutritious single serve lunch box snack options...come in savory global flavors or sweet tooth satisfying high protein options. Solid crunchy, chewy textures or fluids... vegan options-plant derived high protein is a trending eat/drink that's better for the planet (too). Tasty options from SAFFRON ROAD -include snack sizes of their crunchy roasted non-GMO chickpeas-in assorted flavors like sea salt or hot tinged in their savory Bombay Spice. Bar food re-defined, imo. SNEAKZ organic-sneaks in veggie servings plus protein in their USDA Organic- shelf stable 'milk'shakes that are dairy free. Sweet too-perfect adult post work out sip-plus retro -lovers-it kinda reminds us of Nestle's  Quik. From Bolton Farms- a line of sweet plant based protein drinks recently launched...USDA Organic-almond milk based -non-GMO-these keep cold options deliver 12 grams of protein/9grams of sugar/150-160 calories.

The long endurance athlete must is getting enough grams of protein (often a challenge for vegans)- especially-after a multi-hour workout when laziness/fatigue to cook (and clean) set in...and those collegiate dinners of cereal-just don't work, anymore for the fuel is food lifestyle. via GIPHY Tour de France road hazard Our Go To Solution: A pea (plus+) protein powder...that's yummy is  SNEAKZ -in all all flavors too-that unlike a lot of other brands...has NO chalky/pasty taste and is  USDA Organic ! Priced at $21 for 340g bag as pictured... .considerably less than our prior fav-that got bought up by Nestle's and got a 30% more expensive. Sure -SNEAKZ  may be marketed/packaged for pint sized humans...serving up essential veggie blends+ probiotic nutrients (also)...but for us- way past our school days - it's a life buoy for recovery replenishments after exercising ...AND especially on the road-for a healthy-and satisfyingly sweet, pre-race meals...

HEALTHY kids snacks are NOW more appealing- to kids !!!! Cleaner ingredients combined with fun packaging helps the bigger humans seal the deal when it comes to good-for-them  nutritious eats. via GIPHY AHHHH-so retro-no one should eat like this... Our fav eating grabs -worthy of little and big hands ... This above trio are ready to eat snack 'classics'-so stock up. L-R:  SWEET VALLEY ORGANICS Tart Cherries are addictive-Fair Trade melt in your mouth dark chocolate chewy 'candy'-surrounding naturally sweet dried tart cherries. Heavenly. Come in re-sealable pouches but-be prepared and buy two at a time. HALOS  'Pure Goodness" Mandarins/Clementines are in season for just two more months- bad news BUT are readily available pretty much everywhere we shop in handy net bags at terrific price points!. Seedless and super easy to peel-in juicy tiny sections- so no editing process aka adult intervention needed. We say-keep a bowl of HALOS on the kitchen counter...
