Our taste testers raved about these elevated trail mixes, which contain simple, natural ingredients. They are non-GMO, kosher and vegetarian. We sampled the tangy Denali Mountain Mix, which features sweet and spicy glazed pecans, Fuji and Gala apple chips, tart Montmorency cherries and orange-infused cranberries. Another variety enjoyed was the Lakeshore Trail Mix, which mashes up the great tastes of Chicago-style popcorn in an addictive blend of salted caramel-glazed cashews and cheddar CrrrunchBites almonds. The Thai-inspired Bangkok Backpack Blend, with its candied ginger cashews, diced pineapple and toasted coconut chips, was also enjoyed. Buy them here.
6. Crunchies
This crunchy freeze-dried fruit delivers a crunchy texture with every bite. The company focuses on knowing where food comes from, so the Crunchies website explains where every fruit used comes from. The versatile snack can be enjoyed straight out of a bag or with cereal, on yogurt or as a dessert. Buy them here.

This organic, non-GMO birch water can help ease muscle soreness and reduce fatigue, supports liver, kidney and thyroid functions and boosts energy and immunity.
