Food Products
Kodiak Cakes
Kodiak Cake products are great to stock up and have in your freezer or pantry because they’re a convenient, nutrient-dense option made with 100% whole grains and packed with protein, which supports satiety and balanced blood sugar.
We recommend Kodiak Cakes for breakfast, snacks, or even as part of meal prep. The pancake mix can be turned into waffles, protein-rich muffins, or used as a base for healthy baked goods like banana bread or breakfast bars. Their frozen waffles and flapjacks are also a great grab-and-go option for busy mornings. They’re one of those rare products that truly blend convenience, taste, and nutrition all in one. We love all their products, but the French toast sticks in the freezer aisle are a must-try!
Fairlfe
Fairlife products are high-quality, ultra-filtered milk, which provides 50% more protein and 50% less sugar than traditional dairy options, and they are lactose-free. They’re also a great source of calcium and other essential nutrients, making them a wholesome choice for those looking to support bone health and muscle recovery. We love adding the milk to coffee, smoothies, cereals or have with a meal for added protein. The protein shakes are great for when you need a quick on-the-go snack or post-workout recovery.
GoMacro Bar
GoMacro bars are made with organic ingredients and provide a balanced combination of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. They’re a convenient, satisfying snack that supports sustained energy and can easily fit into various dietary preferences, from low-FODMAP, plant-based, gluten-free or nut-free. Plus, their commitment to sustainability makes them an eco-friendly choice.
Simple Mills
Simple Mills offers a wide range of gluten-free products from crackers, baked goods, and breakfast bars made with minimal whole food ingredients. This is an option we often recommend to clients looking for a gluten-free, nutrient-dense alternative without compromising on taste and texture.
Odyessy Snacks
Odysessy Snacks are a great option for bars that have high-quality protein, fiber and whole food ingredients that support balanced blood sugars and sustainable energy. They also contain prebiotics! We love them for a convenient option when in need of a quick snack that is nourishing.
