This keto-friendly cereal alternative is made with a high-protein, zero-sugar blend to spur energized mornings. Here, pea protein, potato fiber, corn fiber, chicory fiber, cocoa, baking powder, sea salt, natural flavors and touch of stevia are pressed into classic cereal shape (think flattened pillow). The taste is not the sugary chocolate cereal from your childhood, but it’s close. And one serving contains 13 grams of protein and 11 grams of fiber.
These nutrient-dense, yummy orbs feature a medley of whole, fiber-rich grains, including four types of gluten-free oats, sorghum and buckwheat. Sweet potato, figs, maple syrup and brown sugar add a touch of sweetness. As with all of Enjoy Life’s products, these on-the-go breakfast ovals are free from the top eight allergens and more.
We’re obsessed with these adorable canned wild-caught tuna salads containing whole foods, spices and herbs. We especially love the Thai Sriracha flavor, which contains skipjack tuna, black beans, rice vinegar, peanuts, ginger, garlic and spinach. Also good: Sicilian Caponata flavor—a fresh blend of butternut squash, fire-roasted veggies, almonds and more. Pair with baguette slices for a flavorful, protein-dense meal.
Crunchy, crispy cookies that contain 6 grams of protein derived from vital wheat gluten and pea protein per serving! These cookies are the snackable version of Lenny & Larry’s chewy protein cookies, and they a have a decently clean ingredient list. Inside you’ll also find chicory root fiber, palm fruit oil, chocolate chips, wheat flour and more. Each 6-cookie serving size contains a reasonable 9 grams of sugar (hey, it’s a cookie!).
This USDA Organic cleaner version of chocolate hazelnut spread is made with Certified Fairtrade cocoa and sugar, and a combo of hazelnut and almond paste. Perfect for sandwiching between crepes or smearing on toast for a decadent breakfast, Once Again’s product is sure to become a staple on pantry shelves.
Patagonia Provisions’ newest product is a line of Savory Seeds, which feature USDA Organic toasted lentils, buckwheat and hemp seeds seasoned with tasty spice blends such as curry or barbecue. Sprinkle this packet of savory, consciously grown seeds and beans over salads or soups, or eat straight from the bag.
What a great idea! Add 1 to 1½ teaspoons of Simply Organic’s perfectly-blended spices into ground coffee, and brew as you would a normal pot of coffee. Organic spices such as cinnamon, cardamom, ginger and orange will infuse your morning cuppa with autumnal flavors.

Grocery trend experts will excitedly tell you tales of widened store perimeters that make way for grab-and-go refrigerated items such as HPP juices and pre-made sandwiches.
