Muir Glen Organic Salsa
Dietary Needs:
Soy Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Low Glycemic, Gluten Free
Their medium salsa boasts a perfect mix of heat, spice and organic tomato taste. Organic ingredients, including cilantro (which helps eliminate heavy metals from the body), lime juice and vinegar, add wonderful layers of flavor. We love that they don’t use any sweetener, which is rare these days. We also like that they use naturally derived preservatives. All ingredients are organic which makes it a great choice for store bought salsa.

We honestly cannot get enough seaweed. It is such a perfect food to improve human health because it alkalizes our body chemistry and provides us with easy to use trace minerals.

No hydrogenated oil or artificial ingredients, making them the best potato chip option out there. Here’s the ingredient list: Potato Starch, Rice Bran Oil, Seaweed (Wakame, Kombu, Hiziki, Nori), Sea Salt, Potato Syrup (Potato Starch, Barley Malt).

Blue Sky Organic Soda
Dietary Needs:
Soy Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Low Glycemic, Gluten Free
Blue Sky soda is all natural with no preservatives, no artificial colors, no caffeine (which is huge) and only natural flavors. Much better than regular soda but they do use sugar (cane sugar). They could improve the health factor by using a natural sweetener like stevia, agave or xylitol like Zevia does. Drink it sparingly and as a treat from time to time. Soda and carbonation thin the lining of the gut.

Zevia Natural Diet Soda
Dietary Needs:
None
Oh how we LOVE Zevia! This company helps us get our clients off of the neurotoxic artificial sweeteners in diet soda right after our first meeting! Zevia is naturally sweetened with stevia, the healthiest, safest and lowest glycemic natural sweetener. It is truly is the first all natural zero calorie soda to hit the market. It contains no artificial sugar substitutes, no aspartame, no sucralose, and no saccharin. This is such an enormous upgrade for those who are addicted to Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi. Zevia now comes in tons of flavors. Some recent great news is that stevia was approved by the American Pregnancy Association as a safe natural sweetener to use during pregnancy. We give it four stars because while we love it, soda should be drunk in moderation since any carbonation thins the lining of the gut.

Vitamin Water 10
Dietary Needs:
Soy Free, Vegan, Dairy Free, Low Glycemic, Gluten Free
Vitamin Water contains 10 calories per serving and is naturally sweetened with eurythritol, a sugar alcohol that comes from corn. We prefer xylitol as a sugar alcohol since it comes from the birch tree. We eat entirely too many products produced from corn in this country. Nonetheless, this a MUCH better choice than Gatorade (because of the dye and high fructose corn syrup Gatorade contains) and a lower sugar option than regular Vitamin Water. Coconut Water is the single best re-hydrant and electrolyte replacement but this is another decent choice.
