Had one too many glasses of eggnog? You’re not the only one.
Although holiday over-consumption took place all across the country, there are plenty of locally produced foods to help you find and return to your happy, healthy state. In fact, you just need to reach for a nutritious snack instead of leftover snickerdoodles. The snacks below are not only a healthy alternative. They are tasty, too!
Brad’s Raw Chips
These flavorful treats are vegan, gluten-free, and not baked or fried. The Raw Chips & Leafy Kale are dehydrated below 115 degrees to preserve essential nutrients and enzymes that enhance digestion and increase energy levels.

Naughty Nutty Love

The artisan nut butters are freshly ground and offer a variety of decadent flavors! From honey-roasted to cinnamon and many more, the sensational spreads will have your snacks tasting extraordinary with just one dip. Snag the healthy alternative online at naughtynuttylove.com.
