JULY/AUGUST 2020 BCBUSINESS 73
During Jagmeet Singh's byelection
campaign for the Burnaby South con-
stituency, BCBusiness interviewed the
federal
NDP leader. We quizzed him on a
number of topics, including his favourite
snack, which apparently is kombucha.
Although this province is home to
several venerable kombucha producers,
we have to say sorry to them and to
Singh: the delicious drink isn't a snack.
Good thing B.C. isn't exactly lacking in
the healthy snack department. Here are
a few suggestions.
■ CRUNCH TIME
You don't even have to go to the store
to satisfy that small craving; just order
some Naked Snacks to your door.
The Richmond outfit offers boxes of
different healthy foods, including
many arrays of nuts and dried fruit.
Customers can mix and match however
they like. Over in Vancouver, Eve's
Crackers supplies vegan, gluten-
free crackers in three flavours (black
sesame, chili pepper–pumpkin seed
and savoury sunflower) to select stores
across the Lower Mainland.
■ SWEET RELIEF
Can you satisfy your sweet tooth
without ruining a workout? Vancouver-
headquartered SmartSweets would
say yes: the operation, which bills its
product as the "first delicious candy
without the sugar," sells five varieties.
For those who like their snacks in
traditional dairy forms but prefer to steer
away from lactose, there are Vancouver-
based options like Nora's Plant-Based
Ice Cream, which uses coconut and ca-
shews, and Yoggu, fermented probiotic
yogurt made with coconut cream.
