Her best of the besT
As a dietitian, I strive to share the best of the best foods, snacks, supplements, and health-supporting products with you! I am always looking for extremely nutrient-dense foods and I am passing on these fantastic finds to you. I hunt for options that deliver the optimal ratio of proteins, fats, and carbs, plus all the vitamins and minerals we need too. The goal is eat as many whole, minimally processed foods as possible, aiming for foods which contain zero (or minimal) added sugar, artificial sweeteners or inflammatory oils.

My current Obsessions…
Proteins
High in protein and fiber with a salty crunch. Great replacement for potato chips. My go-to snack for travel days! Every client I have has loved these!
Roasted Edamame
Replace sugary granola with this! Very high protein, crunchy, and only contains rice and pea. Prefect to sprinkle on top on Greek yogurt or a smoothie bowl.
Pea Protein Crisps
A crunchy, protein-packed delight. Perfectly seasoned, they're a satisfying snack all by themselves, or as a salad/soup topper.
Nutruit Roasted Lentils
Crunchy, savory, and full of cheesy flavor—perfect for salads or snacking. A delightful and convenient addition to meals!
Miss Cubbinson’s Parm Crisps
EPIC dried meats are a great swap for other jerky brands on the market because they have the most minimal added ingredients and no added sugar.
EPIC Dried Meat
Naked Powdered Peanuts
All the flavor of peanuts with only 1g of fat. A super high-protein, peanut powder which gives you the delicious nutty taste without the calories!
It is packed with protein, having 32g per serving. Contains HIGH SODIUM, which is fantastic for replenishing electrolytes after excessive sweating.
Kalahari Biltong Dried Beef
Convenient, perfectly cooked, and ready to eat. Perfect on-the-go snack, adding to salads, or using in recipes without the hassle of boiling and peeling.
365 Hard-Cooked Eggs
Turkey Chomps Sticks
These are an easy protein to throw in your bag and always have with you. The turkey is my favorite because it is lowest in fat.
Naked Powdered Almonds
With even more protein than the powdered peanuts, powdered almonds are another great option for a nutty taste with fewer calories.
Delicious, nutritious on-the-go protein snack. A savory flavor that is made with real ingredients. Perfect for commuting to work or the hiking trail.
Meat and Veggie Bar
Great source of protein and probiotics, making it a nutritious choice for breakfast, snacks, or even as a base for dressings and dips.
365 Plain Greek Yogurt
Light StarKist Tuna Packets
Tuna is an underrated, extremely high protein source. I love these packets because they’re only 4 clean ingredients. I like “in water.” for lower fat.
A fantastic plant based protein snack, perfect for topping salads or to eat on their own. Very high protein and fiber! These are a personal favorite.
Brami Lupini Bean Snacks
A delicious and nutritious snack that's perfect for on-the-go. Satisfying savory flavor that’s also rich in protein and omega-3 fatty acids.

Simple and high-quality ingredients. A clean, fresh taste and is an excellent source of protein and probiotics. Add to salads, granola, or other recipes.

KOS Protein
Tasty, plant-based protein powder with clean ingredients. Great for smoothies, it blends well, and supports muscle recovery.
Sunwarrior Vegan Protein
One ingredient, unflavored protein, yes please! This is a concentrate (isolate is better) but it is hard to beat the lack of anything artificial in this product.
Naked Whey
Grass-Fed Whey
If you don’t like unflavored, this vanilla option is a great one! Only whey concentrate, monk fruit, and vanilla. Loving that is is also organic.
Pea Protein Powder
Excellent choice for those seeking a plant-based protein source. It's smooth, easy to mix, and has a pleasant taste without any artificial aftertaste.
