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!
Rise Buddy to the rescue!
A game changer in the healthy snacking revolution, Rise Buddy is featured in Fit Snacks March box. Great tasting, healthy and familiar in all the right ways, Rise Buddy is here to replace that unhealthy potato chip habit.

I don’t know about you, but lately at the Fit Snack office we’ve been craving a drink full of nutrients from fresh vegetables without the junk – low sugar, no GMO’s to say the least. Let us start by saying we didn’t expect to find it, at least not right away. Here’s what we did find, popular veggie based drinks that are full of sugar and really don’t contain as many vegetables as one would expect.
We kept looking, because well that’s what we do. Our Nutritionist led the search and it seemed the drinks that met our nutrition criteria didn’t quite meet our taste buds criteria. That is until Salad Power.
SALAD POWER IS DELICIOUS AND NUTRITIOUS. IT WILL PLEASE YOUR TASTEBUDS AND FUEL YOUR BODY.
A drink with a vegetable base packed with so many vitamins and important micro-nutrients your body needs – Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Potassium and more.
Salad Power has it all. Starting with their Superfood blend. We originally were looking for whole foods and we ended up with Non GMO superfood ingredients. Every ingredient was easy to read, simple and full of the nutrients we need most. Every flavor includes their superfood blend.
Salad Power Super Food Blend
Kale, Carrot, Spinach, Celery, Cucumber, Tomato and Bell Pepper.
Ahh Salad Power, Fit Snack Dream!

Life’s tough.
Chew Easy.
Catchy, home run, tag line belonging to the one and only Chops Jerky.
First and foremost, Chops is by far the most moist, tender jerky we have ever tried in our Fit Snack kitchen.
According to Chops, premium ingredients and all-natural brisket contribute to the tender, juicy taste. We, at Fit Snack, are convinced there is more to it. With each bite of chops, it feels at if you are sitting at the kitchen table and the brisket just came out of the oven. How they get the jerky to stay so moist is beyond us, but boy are we happy they figured it out.
In addition to the moist flavor, Chops has priced their chops affordably (averaging $7.99 per bag). Do the comparison yourself and you’ll be shocked that they are priced at or below the average.
Overall Chops Extra Moist Jerky passed Fit Snack flavor test by a mile!

The best bar you can taste.
My goodness I love Chocolate. The richness, the flavor, the history, the health benefits. The only reason chocolate has ever had bad wrap, in my opinion, is because it is used with other bad ingredients to create candy that that is terrible for you. This is one reason, we went on a special mission to find a solution.
Love chocolate & eat chocolate even if your on a special diet or managing diabetes!
The Aztecs knew what was up. They believed that cacao seeds were a gift from Quetzalcoatl, the god of wisdom. After all, chocolate is packed with nutrition (fiber, iron, magnesium, copper, manganese to name a few), antioxidant rich, improves blood flow and lowers blood pressure, raises HDL, protects skin against the sun and improves brain function.
With all of those amazing benefits. How come we are inundated snack options packed with sugar, added fat and preservatives? Which brings me to the introduction of one of our favorite Fit Snack partners. Chocorite – does it right. They have developed the best tasting chocolate treats that are actually good for you and NOT packed with junk.
Not only did we put Chocorite taste to the test here at Fit Snack, we also shared them with friends and family over the holiday. The result was all around wide eyes and salivating mouths.
After tasting Chocorite, one would believe there is a “bunch of junk” in something that tastes too good to be true, but they have broken all the rules with their recipe. They don’t use sugar alcohols which provide you with stomach irritation and embarrassing moments from bloating. This is a problem for their competitors, but not for them. As an added plus, they use Zero Glycemic Index Sweeteners and have more fiber in their bar than any other chocolate candy bar available. Did I mention they are also gluten free. If there is one side effect of their chocolate candies, it is becoming “The Chocolate Guru” in all your social circles. Once you pass these out to family, friends, and coworkers, they will not be able to take responsibility for your instant popularity.
The best tasting bar ever!
No matter what your objective or issue is – weight loss, weight control, you are diabetic, or you just want a healthier alternative for your chocolate cravings, ChocoRite has something for you. Check out these four flavors that are now available: Pecan Cluster, Crispy Caramel, Peanut Butter Patty, and Vanilla Peanut Nougat. For more information, you can visit www.Chocorite.com.

This classic tale of beef jerky starts in downtown Los Angeles, in 1929. A man with little more than a motive and his craft decided to open a small shop. People’s Old Market, which later would become known as People’s Choice Beef Jerky. John Bianchetti imagined a company built on honesty and hard work, with the purpose of crafting quality beef jerky. Every cut was carefully taken through a curing process free of preservatives and made with only simple seasonings – some recipes dating back to the 1920’s.
THE BIANCHETTI’S FAMILY PHILOSOPHY
At People’s Choice Beef Jerky the saying goes; “Business comes and goes. New products replace old ones, but relationships are the currency of sustainable success.” – John Bianchetti
A philosophy that carried over four generations from John Bianchetti to son Paul Bianchetti, then from Mark Bianchetti and now to his son Brian Bianchetti. Their philosophy is a huge part of what makes them great. They have employees who have been crafting each batch for over twenty years.
“I feel as though this jerky is made in my own kitchen with the perfect flavor. Each bite is a reminder that the best tastes are timeless.”–Rose Muniz, Fit Snack Founder
Though the process has remained the same, People’s Choice Beef Jerky continues to surprise us by releasing some of the best new flavors on the market. Beyond their three original flavors (Hot and Spicy, Teriyaki and Original) their Carne Seca line includes three rich flavors (Carne Seca Limon, Carne Seca Limon Con Chile, Machaca). Finally, their tasting Kitchen has everything from Siracha and Garlic Ginger to Maple Brown Sugar, just to name a few.
AN EPIC JERKY EXPERIENCE
These flavors come together in their Jerky Boxes. The People’s Choice Beef Jerky boxes are important because there’s no way you can have just one bag or just one flavor. After trying them all, you fall in love with their process and high quality beef jerky.
Healthy lean protein makes us happy!
