You may be hearing a lot about GMOs in the news lately as states debate whether or not to pass a law requiring the labeling of foods that contain genetically modified ingredients. My home state of Connecticut recently became the first to pass such a bill. In the meantime, there are plenty of companies out there who are committed to selling products without compromised ingredients. For a comprehensive list, visit the Non-GMO Project’s website, and look for these delicious snacks on your next shopping trip.
Not only are Dr. Lucy’s products Non-GMO, but they’re also vegan and gluten-free. But you won’t miss the wheat or dairy in these delightfully chewy chocolate bites.

Available in four flavors, Cheddar, Pizza, Cornbread and Ranch, each of Funley’s crackers contain a “hidden” vegetable like broccoli, carrots, sweet potatoes and spinach. A boon for parents, especially on those days when their tots would rather throw their veggies than eat them.
These crisps look like a chip but have a full serving of vegetables in every ounce. (Which does wonders for quelling any guilt you may have over snacking on chips.) Available in five flavors: Sea Salt, Sour Cream & Onion, Jalapeno Ranch, Italian Herb & Olive Oil and Sea Salt & Lime.
