As a girl who enjoys a good drink and some tasty snacks, here are the food and beverage brands I'm really into right now!

Sauz is a new generation of tomato sauce that aims to shake up tradition by introducing inventiveness, aesthetics, unexpected and bold flavors to the jarred tomato sauce aisle. I thought I was happy with my go-to brand of jarred tomato sauce, but Sauz proved me wrong. Founded by childhood friends Troy and Wilson, Sauz was born from the duo being fed up with bland, boring pre-made tomato sauce while attending college. Their flavor lineup includes Hot Honey Marinara, Creamy Calabrian Vodka, Summer Lemon Marinara, Wild Rosemary Marinara, and their latest addition — Cracked Pepper and Parmesan.

My suggestion: If there's one flavor you need to try, it's the Hot Honey Marinara. I cannot stress enough how absolutely delicious this one is. Just do it— you won't be disappointed.

Check out all their products on Sauz or at your local Target.

FitBites creates bubble tea-flavored whey protein powder that stirs nostalgia within the Asian community. The brand has a variety of flavors including Milk Tea, Taro, Stanky Durian, Black Sesame, Honey Dew Melon, and more. 

My suggestion: I'm obsessed with the honey dew melon and milk tea ones — if you love a melona bar or earl grey tea I think you'll also love them!

Check out all of their products on Amazon or FitBites Protein.

Although I'll never stop drinking coffee, sometimes I like to change up how I get my caffeine. For those days, or times when I don't have the time to make coffee I'll grab a Yerba Mate from Guayakí. Yerba Mate is a South American native beverage that has grown in popularity over the past few years, with Guayakí being at the forefront of the movement. This drink definitely packs a punch and is the perfect solution to my mid-day slump!

My suggestion: I love the Revel Berry, Bluephoria, and Peach Revival flavors!

Check out all of their products on Guayaki or Amazon.

I can't tell you how many years I've called Kettle Brand chips my favorite chip brand. I love their Salt and Vinegar flavor, but all the flavors I've tried so far have been fantastic. I seriously can eat an entire bag of these chips in one setting with only slight regret from the stomach pain, but each bite tastes so good and is so satisfying I can't complain much.

My suggestion: If you love salt and vinegar chips, you must try Kettle's version if you have not already done so. The Himalayan Salt and the Salt and Pepper flavors are also delicious.

Doughlicious took me by surprise simply because I didn't expect it to be so good. It's cookie dough made with oats is wrapped around creamy gelato and coated in a soft cookie crumb, which is also gluten-free and relatively low calories (if you care about that stuff), it makes a perfect little snack or after dinner treat.

My suggestion: I love their Mint Chocolate Chip flavor so much! I'm also curious about their Strawberry and Cinnamon Churro flavors but have yet to try them out.

Whisps creates cheeze and pretzel bites with various flavors such as honey mustard, garlic herb, Asiago and pepper jack, and more. Honestly, once I open a bag of these I can't help but eat the entire thing — that's how good they are.

My suggestion: I'm a fan of the classic Parmesan and Cheddar flavors, but I've yet to eat a Whisps flavor I didn't enjoy!

Check out all of their products on Whisps or Amazon.

This may sound a bit strange but I love a good jam or spread. I frequently refer to myself as a "sauce girl" so any condiment is fair game for me. So when I discovered GOOD GOOD and their product line up, I was immediately intrigued. GOOD GOOD's lineup of fruit preserves, peanut butters, and chocolate spread are made without added sugar and are perfect for people looking to reduce their sugar intake.

My suggestion: The Belgian Choco Hazel, Strawberry Jam, and Creamy Peanut Butter are among my favorites! I'm curious about their Lemon Curd and Chili Fig Jam.

Sugar Bowl Bakery is a Vietnamese-founded brand that offers delicious baked goods including madeleines, palmiers, duet bites, brownie bites, cake bites, and more! Their baked goods are available at Stater Brothers, Costco, Aldi, Albertsons, and more— a good thing, because once you start eating them you'll want more!

My suggestion: Although I've loved all their baked goods that I've tried so far, my favorites was definitely the duet bites and the madeleines — incredibly moist and perfect for a sweet treat!

LesserEvil makes popcorn, space balls, and toddler snacks free from seed or vegetable oils, aiming to provide accessible, less processed, and earth-friendly snacking options.

My suggestion: Honestly, all of their popcorn is pretty solid, and I will eat the entire bag on my own if left undisturbed. I would definitely suggest starting with their Himalayan Pink Salt and Homer Blend (a garlic and parmesan blend).

I have a confession: I'm a tinned fish girl. I grew up eating tuna fish sandwiches, and as an adult, I've stayed true to my roots. I typically will use a can of tuna with some kewpie mayo, sriracha, and sesame oil to create this spicy tuna mix and eat it with rice and roasted seaweed sheets. Or just make a tried and true tuna fish sandwich. Regardless, I'm that gir,l and I'm proud of it. 

Wild Planet focuses on offering sustainable seafood, and its mission is to transform the industry from a compassionate one to one that cares about the planet. They offer a variety of products, including Albacore Tuna, Sardines, Sockeye Salmon, Smoked Salmon, Mackerel, and more seafood and flavor options.

My suggestion: Their Albacore Wild Tuna is delicious, and I'm super curious about their ready-to-eat meals for a quick lunch option.

Mark Sisson started Primal Kitchen with a simple mission: to change the way the world eats. Primal Kitchen condiments and sauces are made with high-quality ingredients that make mealtime easy and delicious, and I appreciate having a better-for-me option for my favorite condiments. I consider myself a sauce girl, as in I use what is almost a disgusting amount of condiments when I eat, so I feel a little better knowing that Primal Kitchen sauces are perhaps a bit less bad than the regular brands.

My suggestion: If you buy only one thing from Primal Kitchen, get the Chicken Dipping Sauce. Just do it, the bottle will be gone in no time because you won't be able to stop eating it.

My suggestion: While I am still trying all their offerings, as of right now, I love their "reds" smoothie blend, which is high in vitamin C and perfect for the winter weather, where it feels like I'm constantly fighting off a cold.

Lady M is a New York luxury confections brand that fuses French pastry techniques with Japanese sensibilities in delicate cakes with 20 layers of soft cream and lacy French crêpes.

My suggestion: Honestly any of their Mille Crepe cakes are sure to please! Also, from all the bon bons I've had so far, all of them have been absolutely delicious. Currently, I'm interested in their Strawberry Matcha Mille Crepe cake and their limited-edition Year of the Snake Gift Set.

A-Sha is a Taiwanese-owned, Taiwan- and California-based noodle brand known for its 100-year-old legacy noodle recipe from Tainan. You may have seen their products at your local Costco, Target, H-Mart, Walmart, and other mainstream stores. With each dry noodle dish and tasty snack, A-Sha gives you the authentic taste of Taiwan in a convenient, easy-to-make form.

My suggestion: The Hakka Style Noodles with Chili Sauce is a solid option, but A-Sha does have fun collabs with brands like Hot Ones and BT21 that sound delicious!

Founded by first-generation Italian American, Aaron Gatti, who became obsessed with these magical lupini beans as a child on summer visits to his grandparent’s farmhouse in Umbria, Brami celebrates the lupini bean, a Mediterranean superfood that fueled Roman warriors and has been cherished for its health benefits for centuries. Brami’s two product lines include lupini bean pasta, made in Italy with just two ingredients: durum wheat semolina and lupini beans which offers 60% more protein and triple the fiber of typical pasta and snackable lupini beans that are pickled and spiced.

My suggestion: Any of their pastas shapes are solid options, and they have plenty different ones for all your pasta needs! Their snackable beans also come in many tasty-sounding flavors — like Sea Salt & Vinegar, Chili & Lime, Hot Calabrian Pepper, and more!
