Welcome to a new month of fun and healthy snacking! This month you’ll find that this box is packed with snacks rich in key nutrients your body needs and the cravings you desire most.
We know preparing your own meals is always preferred, but we’re here to remind you that you can have healthy meals and they don’t always have to be homemade. We’ve sought out companies that don’t just entice you with their labels but actually care about the ingredients they put into their products. We want you to feel good about what you’re eating, so take comfort in knowing your Fit Snack Nutritionist hand-picked and taste-tested every product. Think of Fit Snack as your own personal grocery shopper; we walked the snack isle and read the labels, so you don’t have to.
Thank you for putting your trust in the hands of Fit Snack. Enjoy this month’s snacks, and be sure to tag us in your snack breaks!

The History of Lesser Evil
With a goal of making better-for-you snack foods, Lesser Evil got its start in 2005. The brand’s first products included potato puffs and low-carb kettle corn. In 2011, a new initiative was introduced to offer snacks that were not only lower in fat and calories, but also made with real, quality ingredients. Then in 2012, the Lesser Evil factory opened in Danbury, CT. Through its own manufacturing, the brand is able to use better ingredients, control the integrity of its products, and provide local factory jobs.
Lesser Evil Company Mission
The Lesser Evil mission is simple: to make our world less evil by creating deeper connections with people, the planet and real, organic food. There isn’t a single product the brand produces that it doesn’t feel contains the very best ingredients possible for the best snacking experience. That means using just a handful of simple, clean ingredients that won’t clog labels or make them confusing.

Pumpkin seeds are a significant source of magnesium. Magnesium plays a major role in many of the body’s functions. Beyond that, Magnesium has a reputation for being Natures stress reliever. Maintaining healthy levels of Magnesium may provide a calming effect, which can help you relax, unwind, and even sleep better. When you are living an active lifestyle, quality rest is essential to your recovery.
Pumpkin seeds are one of the few sources of complete plant-based protein–in other words, they contain all 9 essential amino acids the body needs including: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Zinc is an essential trace mineral your immune system relies on to stay strong. Pumpkin Seeds have up to 15% of the daily RDI of Zinc.
As a bonus, pumpkin seeds are a top, plant-based food source for iron. Appropriate iron intake facilitates the growth of healthy cells that keep oxygen flowing and the body energized. This is particularly important for people trying to avoid meat.
Pumpkin seeds are high in the good fats–heart-healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. A 1-ounce serving of pumpkin seeds contains up to 4.5g of monounsaturated fat, and 5.6g of polyunsaturated fat. Polyunsaturated fats are essential fats that your body needs to function but can’t produce on its own. These fats help to build cell membranes and the covering of nerves and are needed for blood clotting, muscle movement, and inflammation.

The Craize Story:
“Traditions are always present constantly adapting to our circumstances. Throughout our discovery in how to create a very unique snack, stumbled upon obstacles, variables, and “Aha!” moments that have led us to this day. We’ve worked hard on transforming our roots into a delicious and distinctive edible reality. In Latin America, there are vivid and intense colors that live on every corner of every city. Small houses that are extremely close to each other, some are red, some are orange, green or yellow, but they all have one thing in common: dreams of unknown possibilities that reside in each one of them. That is Craize in a nutshell. A million houses with passionate people inside who are the example of perseverance, passion, and heritage. We are a family filled with color and joy. We have managed to turn that vision into a circular, very crunchy, and kind of unconventional cracker that gives everyone the opportunity to get a taste of the Latin culture. This cracker represents us, as we have also transformed ourselves so we can live anywhere in the world, while never forgetting where we come from. We’ve evolved our authentic flavors into a cracker that can be enjoyed by everyone. Craize creates Limitless Possibilities for each of our consumers and our team. “
