Emmy’s Organics
These cereals, cookies and superfood snacks are completely vegan & gluten-free. That’s because the company is all about ethics, clean eating and healthy foods that taste awesome — and are good for you. Started by a couple in New York out of one of their mom’s kitchens, the founders’ brand & love bloomed out of a desire for vegan options that taste homemade and are completely delish; EmmysOrganics.com.

Rescue Chocolate
Founded by the lovely Sarah Gross, Rescue Chocolate is a company that makes vegan chocolate bars and truffles that are kosher, fairly traded, certified organic and packaged in eco-friendly materials. What’s best, they taste delicious and are good for you. Plus, all the company’s profits are donated to various animal rescue organizations. It doesn’t get any more PAWfect than that; RescueChocolate.com.

CaveChick Chic
Born from a labor of love and the inquisitive mind of a concerned mom who discovered that conventional ingredients were making her kids sick, CaveChick Cookies believes that a healthy diet should be caveman-like (that is, using foods just as they come from nature). As such, CaveChick gourmet cookies are vegan, allergen-friendly and minimally processed. Even better, these sweet treats are also non-GMO verified; CaveChick.com.
