Best for: Someone With a Sweet Tooth
What it is: All-natural, crispy baked apple slices
Why it's great: Not willing to weigh down your beach bag with heavy fruit that turns mushy in the sun? This is the next best thing. These chips are made from real apples and all of Bare Snacks' products contain have seven ingredients or fewer -- none of which are artificial, tongue-twisting chemicals. They're baked, not fried, and contain only a measly 90 calories in each bag.

Best for: Compulsive Munchers
What it is: Baked chickpeas, available plain (dusted with sea salt) or in flavors such as Falafel and Fresh Salsa.
Why it's great: These little guys offer that satisfying crunch you get from chowing down on chips or Cheetos -- but without any of the guilt. Each 110-calorie serving also packs 20 percent of your daily recommended fiber intake and six grams of protein. Not to mention, you don't have to worry about mysterious additives, because you'll recognize all of the ingredients in the pack. Bonus: They're gluten-free.

Best for: Chocoholics
What it is: Cocoa powder-dusted almonds
Why it's great: Chocolate never seems like a bad idea -- until you're stuck cleaning up a gooey mess. The beauty of Cocoa Roast Almonds is that you can get your sugar fix without having to worry about your precious treat melting in the hot summer sun. Each 100-calorie pack doses you with hunger-fighting protein and fiber, as well as skin-enhancing healthy fats and vitamin E.

Best for: Potato Chip Junkies
What it is: Chips made out of baked, air-puffed egg whites (trippy, right?)
Why it's great: Get your hands out of the Lay's bag: You'll cut your fat intake in half -- and get an extra six grams of protein -- if you opt for Ips instead. Plus, they're just as addicting and snackable as their greasy, fried, potato counterparts, and you can gobble them up in classic flavors, like Sea Salt & Black Pepper, White Cheddar and Barbecue.

Best for: Squeezing in an Extra Serving of Veggies
What it is: Crunchy baked snap peas
Why it's great: Made from real snap peas, these crisps have half the fat and a third the amount of sodium of a regular potato chip, but four times as much fiber. But, spiced with sea salt, wasabi, black pepper and Caesar dressing seasonings, they don't skimp on flavor.
