2 Breakout Beverages: Best-Ever Milk Swap and Natural Calorie-Free Soda
Honest Fizz Organic Zero Calorie Soda
Not only is this fizzy beverage super yummy, it's also about as clean as a zero-calorie soda gets -- organic, non-GMO, and naturally sweetened with a blend of stevia and erythritol. It comes in Root Beer, Golden Ginger Ale, Orange Pop, Professor Fizz (the HG favorite... it tastes like Dr. Pepper or Mr. PiBB!), and Lemon Limey. Each 12-oz. can has 0 calories, 0g fat, 25mg sodium, 6 - 8g carbs, 0g fiber, 0g sugars, and 0g protein (PointsPlus® value 1*). Find it at Whole Foods and other natural food markets nationwide.Hungry Girl Obsession: FlapJacked Carrot Spice Protein Pancake and Baking Mix

3. Panera Bread is testing its first gluten-free bread. The chain is rolling out a Rosemary Focaccia Roll in its Detroit-area locations. The bread is reportedly thinner than standard loaves and made with clean ingredients. So what can gluten avoiders do while waiting for Panera to offer it nationwide? Check out this official guide to gluten-free eating at Panera.
4. Mason-jar-meal vending machines are officially a thing. Check out Farmer's Fridge kiosks! These vending-machine-style, fridge-esque contraptions feature healthy food packed into BPA-free recyclable plastic jars. They're currently just in Chicago, but we're hoping this catches on. (Also cool: Unsold salads are donated to local food pantries.) More companies like this, please!
