Marie Arlet, cofounder of Shea Brand: "One of my favorite, super easy and healthy snacks is a vegan, gluten-free, chocolate chip cookie. It's made with only five simple ingredients, which I almost always have in my pantry. They have no added sugar, protein from the peanut butter, potassium from the banana, fiber from the oats and antioxidants from the dark chocolate."

· 2 cups rolled oats
· 2 ripe or overripe bananas
· 1/4 cup peanut butter
· 2 tbsp maple syrup
· 2 tbsp coconut oil
· 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350. Add all ingredients except for chocolate chips and salt to a large bowl and mash together with a fork. Add chocolate chips and mix together. Scoop and shape roughly into a ball. Place dough ball on baking sheet and gently squish flat with the back of the spoon. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Lily Kunin, founder of Clean Market: "This good-for-you snack has spirulina, which is made from algae and is over 60-percent complete protein. It's great for strengthening the immune system, improving the digestive system, helping the body to absorb minerals, lowering cholesterol and lots of other great things!"

· 2 tbsp olive oil
· 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
· 1 tbsp spirulina
· 1 tsp garlic powder
· 1/2 tsp turmeric
· 1/2 tsp onion powder
· 1/2 tsp curry powder
· 1/2 tsp basil
· Dash cayenne
· 1/2 cup organic corn kernels
· Coconut oil

In a bowl, combine the olive, nutritional yeast, spirulina, garlic powder, turmeric, onion powder, curry powder, basil, cayenne and some salt. Mix well and set aside. Pour coconut oil into a large, deep pot. The oil should cover the bottom of the pot. Drop three kernels into the pot, cover and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the kernels have popped add the rest of the kernels and remove from heat to shake and coat all kernels in the coconut oil. Return the pot to the stove over medium-high heat. Once the kernels begin to pop, shake the pot vigorously with the lid ajar until the pops start to slow (a couple of minutes). Turn off the heat and pour the spirulina mixture over the popcorn. Mix well.

Vanessa Chu, co-Founder of Stretch*d: "This is great to stay fuller longer (since chia is high in fiber), it's good source of protein (thanks to the hemp hearts), as well as gut-friendly probiotics and energy. Plus, it's easy!"

· 2 tbsp chia
· 1 tsp matcha
· Coconut yogurt (plain or vanilla)
· Almond milk

Just put it all together, mix it up and wait a few hours (chia takes a few hours or overnight to plump).
