• Air-popped Popcorn chips (“Chip’ins” by Indiana Popcorn, “PopCorners” by Medora Snacks, etc.)

• Vegetables (i.e. sugar snap peas, baby carrots, etc)
• Chocolate–78% -88% vegan dark chocolate (brands such as Lindt, Theo Chocolates, Endangered Species,etc.; try to eat 2 to 4 squares!)
• Fruit (Pineapple spears, mangos, tangerines/oranges, grapes are still delicious this time of the year!)
• Drinks (i.e. water, juice, healthy bottled drinks–brands such as Izze, Virgil’s, Reed, etc.)

For Meat-lovers:

• Baked Grass Fed/Organic Hamburger patties or meatballs (can find at many grocers)
