Fast Organic from Bare Naked, Eden, Amy’s Kitchen, AC La Rocco Pizza, Kashi, Annie Chun & Kozy
We don’t have to tell you that organically grown food is better for both your body and the environment. You already know that spraying pesticides onto budding produce not only seeps into the soil but infuses the food that you might soon ingest with poisons. What you might not know, however, is just how easy it is to eat organically produced food, even on the go. Forget take-out (unless you BYOB): Styrofoam production utilizes the carcinogen benzene as well as styrene, which can migrate into food. And we’re not talking about stashing a banana in your purse or a cut up watermelon in your refrigerator, either. From snack foods to frozen entrees to dessert, fast is going eco-friendly.
Bear Naked’s Pacific Crest Organic Trail Mix is a perfect blend of organic raisins and cranberries, cashews, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, and chocolate chips. www.bearnaked.com
Eden Organic nuts and dried fruits are the perfect purse snack for last minute noshing needs. We particularly love the Organic Dried Wild Blueberries that are hand harvested, naturally dried, sweet, tangy and full of antioxidants. www.EdenFoods.com
Amy’s Kitchen is famous for their soups, but these days we’re craving their frozen Tofu Scramble in a Pocket Sandwich. Intended for breakfast but so good you can eat it any time of day, this is the perfect well-rounded meal stuffed with organic tofu, golden turmeric and bits of sautéed organic vegetables like onions, shiitake mushrooms and sweet bell peppers. www.Amys.com
AC LaRocco Pizzas come frozen—ready to bake and devour. What’s more, the super thin crust pizzas aren’t just organic, they’re lower calorie and lower-carb than your average pizza, but still unbelievably yummy. www.aclarocco.com
Kashi’s all-natural frozen Chicken Pasta Pomodoro complete with yellow summer squash, zucchini, and red peppers in a tomato, garlic and basil sauce is the perfect instant family feast that is not only earth and heart-healthy, but tasty too! www.kashi.com
Annie Chun‘s 100% biodegradable bowls up the ante on your average eco-conscious entree. We love their MSG-free Udon Soup Bowl stocked with bok choy and shitake mushrooms. www.anniechun.com
Finally for dessert, Kozy Shack Vanilla and Chocolate Organic Soy Pudding is cholesterol-free, caffeine-free, egg-free, lactose-free, low-fat, vegan, and unbelievably delicious! www.kozyshack.com
