These Snacks Unlock a New Era of Snacking

The LA Fit Expo 2024 was an arena for many snack and supplement brands to showcase their products. There were snacks for all types of diet and dietary restrictions - keto, paleo, gluten-free, sugar-free, and I had my tote bag filled with free samples I got. And I was quite surprised by how tasty these snacks were. These days, there are so many snack choices that agree with your diet, so you can snack guilt-free while feeling and looking your best. These are some of my personal favorites from the pile of samples I got. 



Simple Truth had a big booth, and so many people were lining up for the samples! Simple Truth is a Kroger brand, and you can purchase its products at Ralphs - not just snacks but various grocery items like produce, poultry, beef, or canned goods. 



I tried the Sea Salt Veggie Straws, and they were so good! 



Contains 30% less fat than regular potato chips, and they are crunchy and yummy. 



Shameless Snacks is serious about making great-tasting gummies that are low in sugar and calories.

Most gummies are overloaded with sugar, but the gummies from Shameless Snacks have only 3g of sugar, 3g of net carb, and 70 calories per serving. 


Look at the fiber content!



There are currently 8 flavors. The one I sampled was the Chili Mango Fire gummies, and they were quite frankly better than a lot of regular gummies. I wasn't sure how mango goes with spice (can sweet and spicy go together?), but it was refreshingly delicious. 



There is a slow burn after the initial sweet mango flavor, and it's so addictive! It's definitely going on my grocery list. 



And would you check out this booth? Suckerpunch lures you to test your strength and win pickle prizes!  



Suckerpunch is a maker of popular pickle snacks, and they come in easy-to-carry pouches. You won't have to carry a jar of pickles. 



These pickle pouches don't rip easily, so you won't have a vinegary pickle disaster in your favorite gym bag or your car! 



The Pickle Chips Snacks are available in 4 flavors - Red Chile Spicy Dill, Fiery Hot 3-Pepper, Snappy Sweet Bread & Butter, and Classic Kosher Dill. The only disappointment with these pickles was, though, that even the Fiery Hot 3-Pepper wasn't spicy enough. But I love spicy food and have built quite a tolerance, so I'm a little biased. Delicious, nonetheless. 



The best part is that they are so low in calories. They are true guilt-free snacks!

Suckerpunch also has electrolytes and digestion shots. 



These hydration pickle juice shots with electrolytes are made with Suckerpunch's new hydration formula which contains calcium, magnesium, and potassium to help you replenish your electrolytes. They will help with muscle cramping and spasms.

This Digestion Pickle Juice Shooter contains 500mm CFUs of probiotics to help with digestion. This probiotic shot has a mild ginger flavor.



Suckerpunch is running a 50% off promo (FitExpo24), so if a shot of pickle juice or pickle chips is your thing, now's the chance. 



Suckerpunch has other products, too, and I can't wait to try the entire lineup! 



This "puffcorn" might be my new favorite thing! If you love popcorn and a lot of it, you have got to try this. I admit, I'm a compulsive snacker, especially at night when I'm watching Netflix, and the calories add up. I've been eating Like Air's Puffcorn since I discovered it a couple of months back, and I was elated to find it at the expo.

Like Air Puffcorn was launched in 2020 with the mission to improve snacking without compromising flavor. Puffcorn is gluten-free, non-GMO, and has 50 calories per cup. 



I got all 4 flavors to sample at the booth. 



If you plan on going to a Fit Expo, be sure to go hungry because you can have a good full meal there, haha.
