Sweetkiwi Cookies & Cream Whipped Greek Yogurt Pint: $6.99
Our most irresistible snack has always been ice cream, but thanks to Sweetkiwi, we can enjoy a guilt-free pint. This innovative dessert uses Greek yogurt rather than dairy to deliver a mouth-watering experience. If you didn't know, Greek yogurt has a lot of protein, and Sweetkiwi provides up to 25 grams. And no need to worry about lactose intolerance—this jar will improve gut health, too.
BonAppesweet Better Than Milk Chocolate Bar: $8.50
Speaking of guilty pleasures, we can never get enough of chocolate. If you can't tell, we have strong sweet tooths. No need to worry, though. BonAppesweet has an organic, plant-based bar that tastes as good as your standard milk chocolate, using just cacao, dates and vanilla beans. It's also zero sugar!
Ayo Foods Chicken Mini Pies: $10.42
A frozen appetizer might be the best kind of snack because you get the satisfaction of a full meal without the effort of having to cook it. West African-inspired brand Ayo is a prime example. These meat pies are known for their flavor fillings and flaky crust. Even though they're ready-made, they don't lose any of their delectable charm.
Coco Asante Midnight Cherry Bonbons: $19.95
If Keith Lee gives you his golden stamp of approval, you know it's good, and Cocoa Asante did not disappoint him. We understand the hype. This Black-owned brand offers unique, artisan truffles to satisfy even the most advanced taste palettes. For $19.95, you can purchase an entire box of their chocolates—you are definitely in for a luxurious experience.

Even so, they're still delicious, with a nearly five-star rating on Amazon.
Grass Grazed 10-Pack Original Pork Sticks: $28
We never knew how much we loved meat sticks until Grass Grazed released Grass Snax. This quick and savory snack is perfect for anyone who loves savory treats. Or, you might be craving some bacon and are too lazy to cook it. It's good on the go, and they confidently share that their animals are grass-fed with no GMOs.
