Each day is filled with choices. Choices to wake up happy, grumpy or energized. Choices on how to eat your eggs, what snacks to enjoy throughout the day and where to go to lunch. The choices go on and on. How about making decisions easier with the Fit Snack selection secret weapon.
Taking time to “decision make” all day long is exhausting. Especially when it comes to ‘what type of companies, brands and products’ should receive your support or money. I recently read an article that you can save mental energy and creativity by creating a formula to decision making. The author of the article even went as far as to order the 2nd item on the menu, every time he want out to eat. Just to save him from the evaluation process.
Being a Foodie at heart, I wouldn’t want to give up my restaurant menu exploration, though I wish I had a cure for my indecisiveness over ALL of the options that sound amazing and FOMO over choosing the wrong item. So I started thinking, if I were to create a formula for decision making, what is one thing that would make a choice easy? The answer that comes to me, is consciousness. By that I mean, how conscious is the company I am evaluating? Do they care about our planet? Do consider the full ecosystem of their industry, rather than just the bottom line? Do they create products that I can feel proud to purchase?
At Fit Snack, we have a huge responsibility to choose products that you will not only enjoy eating, but are healthy and we can feel good about supporting the brands behind them. That is why, looking for high conscious snack companies is one of our SECRET WEAPONS! Yes. It’s true, we look for amazing companies who are creating snacks in a high conscious way, snacks we are proud to share with our 
subscribers.
AmaziNG Snack Companies Unite!
Which brings me to Amazi – one of the highest conscious brands we have ever featured in our box!
Amazi is a mindful food company whose mission is to inspire local agricultural value chains and catalyze economic growth through the sales of healthy products.
They are a part of a local organic farming network, through this network, they are able to source organic high quality fruit. They then work with Ugandan partners and food scientists who hand slice and small batch roast their fruit to perfection. They then package everything to be enjoyed by their trusted customers (including our Fit Snack subscribers!). A portion of their proceeds then goes back to expand farming network, cooperatives, farmer training, direct trade practices and support local communities.
Now you see why “high conscious company” has become a part of our selection process. It allows us to attract snack companies like Amazi – who are AMAZING!

Do you have unhealthy snack foods in your pantry that you’re struggling to give up? If so, you’re not alone. Cutting out junk food snacking is a seriously hard habit to kick.
Plus, when it comes to junk food, we all have a different Achilles heel. At the top of the list for many people are good old-fashioned potato chips.
However, underneath taste bud tantalizing flavors in fun to eat shapes and sizes, potato chips present some serious problems to your health. The negative health effects of potato chips include:
- Weight gain – a study of over 100,000 participants found that potato chips caused more weight gain than sugar-sweetened beverages.
- High in sodium– sodium consumption makes bodies retain water, burdening heart and blood vessels.
- Empty calories – when you’re body is not satiated by the foods you eat, you tend to overeat, missing out on crucial nutrients.
But have no fear fellow snackers. Healthy “junk” food options do exist!
