Nature's Path Qi'a Superfood Snack Bars, $1.79
What it is: A snack bar made with superfoods (think: chia seeds and hemp seeds) in flavors like Dark Chocolate Cranberry Almond and Mocha Cocoa Hazelnut.
Why it's great: It's not uncommon to find out that your favorite "nutrition" bar is as chock-full of fat and sugar and void of actual good-for-you ingredients as a candy bar. Not so with Qi'a bars. Yes, they've got more calories than some of the foods on this list (as many as 190), but with that comes omega-3 fatty acids, and enough protein and fiber to keep your next sugar craving safely at bay.

Boomchickapop Popcorn, $4.49
What it is: Popcorn made with all-natural ingredients and no GMOs. A few of the eight fun flavors include White Cheddar and Sea Salt & Vinegar.
Why it's great: Let's be real: Half the fun of hitting up those summer action flicks is getting to indulge in a carton of popcorn, right? This healthier alternative will satisfy your popcorn fix, but without all of the sodium and butter. In fact, there's very little to a bag of Boomchickapop: No cholesterol, no gluten, no trans fats and no high-fructose corn syrup. Once you strip away all of the bad stuff, you're left with a snack that's low in calories (as few as 35 per serving, depending on which flavor you choose), high in fiber (which is great for your waistline) and full of skin-saving antioxidants. And you can enjoy it while basking in the sun -- rather than trapped in a dark theater.
