All the Best Foods and Drinks We Tried in March 2024

Now that spring has officially sprung, we're in the mood for fresh starts and change—and we're beginning by expanding our horizons with delicious new tastes.

Last month, the best brands in the biz sent us all of their latest and greatest snacks, candies, desserts, meals, drinks and more to taste test ourselves so we could pass our favorites along to you, the readers. Just keep scrolling to discover our top March 2024 picks.

Wildwonder

We're longtime fans of Wildwonder and their delicious, gut-healthy sparkling beverages, flavored with real fruits, herbs and botanicals and powered by Chinese traditional medicine. Their newest flavor, Raspberry Lychee, may also be their most delicious yet. Packed with both prebiotics and probiotics, it's easy on the stomach while being bubbly, crisp and refreshing, perfectly balancing the tartness of wild raspberries with the sweetness of lychee and real honeysuckle. Plus, with just six grams of sugar and 40 calories per can, it's a great, worry-free sip for any time of day.

Siete

Siete has quickly established itself as one of our favorite brands for great Mexican food, and in addition to delicious savory favorites like chips and salsas, they also offer truly irresistible cookies. They're available in both Mexican Vanilla Chocolate Chip and Frescas con Crema (strawberries and cream) flavors that are so wonderfully textured and delicious that you'd have no idea they were gluten-free, grain-free and vegan. We simply can't stop snacking on them, and whether you go the chocolate chip or strawberry route, you can't go wrong.

Hu Chocolate

There's a good reason Hu Kitchen's No Added Sugar Chocolate Chips are a key ingredient in Hailey Bieber's viral Strawberry Glaze line at Erewhon. These creamy, delicately bitter semi-sweet 60% cacao chocolate chips include just four organic ingredients—cacao, date, cocoa butter and vanilla bean—so that they're both keto- and paleo-friendly, with nothing artificial while still tasting great. They're amazing for dark chocolate lovers and anyone who's looking for a hit of chocolate without all of the extra junk, and we even love snacking on them right out of the bag.

Jovial Foods

We didn't think that Jovial Foods' organic, gluten-free macaroni and cheese could get any better, but it just did with the launch of a Truffle Mac & Cheese. It's made with authentic cheddar cheese and real Italian black truffles to add gorgeous flavor to their already-delicious macaroni and cheese, with the perfect al dente bite in every gluten-free, brown rice pasta shell. It has just the right amount of umami flavor to really make it rich and flavorful without being stinky or overpowering—and it just might be our all-time favorite mac & cheese out of a box.

Hippeas

By now, HIPPEAS is practically a household name thanks to their delicious chickpea snacks—which now consist of chips, straws and puffs. Their puffs line just got even better with the new Flavor Blast varieties. They take iconic flavors—Vegan White Cheddar Explosion and Blazin Hot—for the most flavor-packed and munchable HIPPEAS snacks yet. Both are fully plant-based without missing out on bold, savory flavors, and the chickpea-based puff is full of protein and fiber for a more satisfying

Jot Coffee

If you love the flavor or a freshly brewed cup of coffee but not the hassle, Jot's coffee concentrates have to be on your radar—and if you enjoy the rich nuttiness of Nutella, we can't recommend Jot's new Chocolate Hazelnut flavor more highly enough. It's 20 times more concentrated than traditional coffee, so you just need to add a teaspoon to 8 oz. of your favorite coffee base—water or milk, hot or cold, sweetened or unsweetened—for a tasty, effortless mug every time. Plus, it tastes of cocoa and buttery hazelnuts. Just in time for spring, the brand also just launched its Spring Seasonal flavor, brewed from beans grown in Chirinos, Cajamarca in Northern Peru for a flavor with notes of florals, fruit and maple. While we haven't gotten the chance to get a taste ourselves, it sounds so delicious.

Heraclea

If you think that trying one olive oil means you've tried them all, wait until you taste Heraclea's Aegean Flavors Collection. It consists of four robust cold-pressed olive oils infused with great flavors to bring the most out of all types of meals. The spicy, chili-infused olive oil adds a perfect kick to all your meals, while the garlic olive oil can be incorporated into sauces and dips with a bold garlic flavor that can elevate any meal. The rosemary oil has more of an herbal finish that adds delicious depth to your salads and roasted meals, and the zesty and refreshing lemon olive oil adds a bright freshness to baking while being incredible as a salad dressing.

MALK Organics

MALK has quickly become one of our go-to brands when we're looking for high-quality, delicious plant-based milks without any unnecessary junk, and they just got even more convenient with shelf-stable versions of their beloved Unsweetened Almond Milk and Original Oat Milk varieties. We love that we can conveniently keep them outside of the fridge until we're ready for that first smooth sip in our morning cups of coffee. Additionally, the brand just added Cashew Milk to the lineup, and while that one needs to go into the fridge right away, it's fully worth it for the buttery, nutty flavor it imparts.

Local Weather

Sports drinks are another beloved drink category that tends to be packed with unnecessary additives, but not the tasty options from Local Weather. These drinks don't just enhance hydration with electrolytes, vitamins and minerals, but also include mind-supporting ingredients such as ashwagandha, L-theanine and L-tyrosine to enhance calm and mental focus. In addition, they come in at just 35 calories per 16 oz. bottle while also tasting delicious in Fruit Punch, Orange Clementine and Mango Passionfruit flavors sweetened with real juice, cane sugar and stevia.

Honey Smoked Fish Co

Few flavor combinations are more classic and delicious than bagels and lox, and Honey Smoked Salmon has reinvented it as an easy-to-eat snack in the form of their Salmon Stackers. They're essentially elevated charcuterie packs, combining yummy smoked salmon chunks, a flavorful and smooth lemon and chive cream cheese and gluten-free rice crackers for the ultimate savory snacks. They come in scrumptious Original, Cracked Pepper and Chipotle Lime flavors, with 13 grams of protein and 1200 mg of Omega-3's in every irresistible package.

Copper Cow

Vietnamese coffee may be our favorite variety, and no one makes it easier to enjoy a cup at home than Copper Cow Coffee. Their innovative disposable sachets allow you to brew the coffee using the pour-over method without any additional tools, resulting in fresh and 100% natural coffee each and every type. We're also obsessed with their single-serve condensed milk creamers, adding plenty of creamy sweetness without any unnatural additives. Their newest Dirty Chai Latte flavor is also infused with cardamom, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla for even more irresistible yumminess.

Better Sour

There are plenty of delicious, low-sugar sour gummy brands out there these days, but Better Sour stands out from the rest with their unbeatable texture, perfect sweetness and unusual, global-inspired flavors. They come in packs of Apricot, Pomegranate and Plum flavors, as well as Guava, Calamansi (Philippine lime) and Ume (Japanese apricot) flavors to take your tastebuds around the world in the form of a tasty sour gummy, with just three grams of sugar and 60 calories per pack.

Tate's Bake Shop

We've loved Tate's Bake Shop and their thin, crispy chocolate chip cookies for ages, and we couldn't have been more excited to see the brand expand its cookie lineup—and to taste them all. They now have Tiny Tate's Chocolate Chip cookies in resealable bags, making the buttery, delicious cookies even easier to snack on, plus rich cinnamon Snickerdoodles in both standard and mini sizes (which we love eating from a bowl with milk, like cereal). However, our favorite new addition has to be the new Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies, adding salty caramel chips to the OG Chocolate Chip cookies for even more sweet and salty goodness.

Aura Bora

We've never met an Aura Bora sparkling water flavor we didn't love, and the new Pineapple Holy Basil variety has to rank among our favorites. Flavored with real herbs, fruits and flowers, this pineapple-flavored one is brightly tangy and tropical with herbal, almost spicy notes from the holy basil to make it extra crisp and refreshing as the weather warms.

Pressed Juicery

There's a good reason Pressed Juicery has earned its great reputation—its cold-pressed juices are delicious, fresh and positively packed with good-for-you nutrients. April 4 is National Vitamin C Day, and the brand is celebrating the powerhouse, immune-boosting vitamin with their Vitamin C 6-Pack, starring two each of their Orange Turmeric Juice, Citrus 3 Juice and Strawberry Orange Mango Smoothie, featuring 100% to 610% of your daily recommended vitamin C in each bottle. We tried all three citrusy classics, and we honestly can't pick a favorite.

Free AF

As grown-ups who love all-ages drinks, we can't get enough of unique non-alcoholic cocktails, and  Free AF (with Afterglow) have become a fast favorite. "Afterglow" is a blend of botanical extracts with a natural heat that simulates the tingly warmth of a real cocktail, without all of that extra junk, with flavors inspired by all kinds of cocktail classics. Our favorite has to be the cucumber-flavored G&T, fusing cool cucumber flavor with juniper notes and the combined bitterness and sweetness of tonic water to create something extra sippable.

UNREAL Snacks

We can't get enough of good-for-you snacks that don't taste like they're good for you, and everything from UNREAL Snacks definitely fits under that category. The brand is beloved for its treats made with real, easy-to-pronounce ingredients, and they just added four new products to the lineup—Dark and Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels and Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds (with and without coconut). With all of their dark chocolate products being fully vegan and the pretzels being gluten-free and made with fair-trade chocolate, we love being able to snack without an ounce of guilt.

Aiya Matcha

As matcha lovers, Aiya Matcha's quick and easy on-the-go packs have become essential to our daily routines. The brand's matcha is packed with antioxidants while helping us fight afternoon slumps by giving our bodies a much-needed pick-me-up. And did we mention they taste great, too?

Utz

Utz snacks have been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember, and we've loved seeing the brand branch out in recent years with irresistible new flavors and snacks. They just added a bunch of great stuff to the lineup, from Sea Salt, Garlic Butter and Mike's Hot Honey-flavored Mixed Mini Pretzels to Boulder Canyon Poppers in Aged White Cheddar and Jalapeño Ranch flavors. Their tasty pretzels get even better when they're coated in great savory flavors, and the new Boulder Canyon Poppers (essentially cheese puff balls) are classic while offering new flavor profiles that keep us coming back for more.

Pepperidge Farm

Lemon blueberry bread is one of the quintessential spring bakes, and Pepperidge Farm is celebrating the start of the season with a brand-new Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bread. It's a classic loaf with perfectly sized slices, perfect for enjoying on their own or popped into the toaster with a bit of butter, with the great zest of lemon and real blueberries all the way through.

Jordan's Skinny Mixes

We know Jordan's Skinny Mixes best from their delicious, sugar-free coffee syrups, but they're expanding the lineup with new zero-sugar tea and lemonade mixes, and we can't get enough. Available in Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade and Sweet Tea flavors, these syrup concentrates mean you can add one part syrup to three parts cold water for a delicious cup of your favorite drinks—all with zero sugar, and just 10 calories per serving of the lemonades, and zero calories in the sweet tea.

Evergreen

We're all about tasty eats with hidden health benefits, and Evergreen's gut-healthy, protein-packed mini waffles have a full serving of fruits and vegetables. They're better for you without ever sacrificing flavor, with unique varieties including Zucchini Carrot Cake, Peanut Butter Banana Bread, Chocolate Zucchini Bread and Apple Cinnamon Cobbler. We prefer throwing them into the air fryer for a crisp outside and fluffy interior in just minutes. Honestly, every flavor in the nutrition-dense lineup deserves a taste.

(via Evergreen)

 

EVOLVED Chocolate

EVOLVED Chocolate is unlike any other chocolate brand we've tried, created on the belief that chocolate is real food, rather than "just candy." They use clean ingredients, with a light monk fruit extract sweetener and the vast majority of their products being plant-based, in order to celebrate the innate bold bitterness of the natural chocolate. They sent us a gift basket including Strawberries & Cream Cups, Pink Chocolate, Oatmeal Cookie Dough bars and more, and they're all a dark chocolate lovers' dream.

LesserEvil

On the hunt for a sweet and salty fix? LesserEvil has the perfect choice—and the flavor came out right in time for for Easter. The new offering combines those classic fluffy buttered kernels with a crunchy (and chewy in the best way) sugar cookie-flavored coating. As always, they also created it with no vegetable oil and all-organic ingredients for guilt-free snacking.

(via LesserEvil)

 

Bachan's

As folks who put Bachan's Japanese Barbecue Sauce on pretty much everything, we're always willing to try the latest and greatest flavors, and the sixth variety to join the lineup, Sweet Honey, is an instant favorite. This time around, the recipe adds organic honey to the mix for an even sweeter, more teriyaki-like approach to the sweet and savory sauce, rounded out with aromatics including ginger, garlic and green onion to make it the perfect dip, marinade or finishing sauce for your favorite Asian dishes.
