Trail Mix
365 Everyday Value Strider’s Trail Mix Snack
Good & Gather Blueberry Nut Trail Mix With Raw
365 Everyday Value Organic Forest Berry Trail Mix
* I also started mixing my own trail mix. Bags of organic nuts or bags of organic dried or freeze-dried fruit have been easier to find so I buy those and mix them myself. Yum!
Yogurt
Silk Yogurt Alternative Almondmilk, Peach
Silk Almondmilk Coconut Chocolate Almond Yogurt Alternative
Forager Project Organic Dairy Free Yogurt (several flavors like strawberry, blueberry, and more)
Bread
The Truth about Bread is an insightful article about the benefits of bread. Some say bread is a great source of oats or wheat if those are helpful for your diet plans. You could also look into Hero Classic white bread since it is rated well on EWG to see what you think.

Certain Kikkoman soy sauces are ok – allbeit borderline at a 3-rating (click here to see the Kikkoman Soy Sauce options)

Vinegar Sauce (or Dip) – Distilled vinegar with basil and oregano mixed in
