Snack Attack: Part II

Onwards to another round of snacking (I promise, after this I will actually make a post about something healthy)!

Since there aren't too many snacks out there that are labelled "vegan" and made easy for us to find, there is often the need to flip the bag and look at the ingredients list on the back. For most snacks, you can discern on the spot whether they might have milk or honey ingredients in them, but there are certain words like "casein", "lactose", "collagen", "keratin", and "gelatin" that don't immediately stand out to the untrained eye. That being said, I was passing through the aisles of the Target Express store that's in our area and came upon this...
Pumpkin Spice Oreos!!!
Get in my bellyyy


Snack Attack: Part I

There are times when you are on a roll with healthy-eating, and you could easily stroll past the packaged snacks section of the grocery aisle without a second thought. Then there are times when you just have to have something crunchy munchy, and such times, my friends, are when you need to make as wise of a decision as you can make. 

Which brings me to put the spotlight on these particular chips that the bf picked up from the nearby MOM's Organic Market: JalapeƱo Lime Tortilla Chips from a company called Late July Snacks. Of course I looked it up out of curiosity and this company takes pride in making all their chips kosher and gluten-free, in addition to using Non-GMO whole ground yellow corn. This particular flavor is, in fact, vegan, and some of the other flavors that are also labelled vegan are Sriracha Fresca and Bacon Habanero (despite the name, the ingredients don't list anything actually bacon, just natural smoke flavor, paprika and spices).
