How genius is this superfood snack? It's like oatmeal on steroids. Vigilant Eats comes in a variety of flavors (I love the goji berry/cacao nib combo) in to-go packaging - perfect to throw in your bag or your car. The best part? A small plastic spoon is inside and you just add water - easy peasy! If you have it handy, you can also use hot water or milk. I thought it would be weird to eat it with room temperature water but it tasted great. Packed with nutrients and that hint of cacao and goji berry sweetened my morning! I love that this local Bloomington biz has spread north to Indy - I've seen them at Marsh, Market District, and Wildwood so far. They are pricey at $2.50-$3.50 apiece but make a good breakfast or snack to have lying around! read more

Local + delicious: does it get any better? As a nurse, this snack is perfect for before/during/after my unpredictable shifts. Just add water or milk - hot or cold, whichever you prefer - stir, and you have a yummy treat that's like a combo of granola and oatmeal. No need for the fridge, microwave, or even extra utensils (the spoon is even included right in the cup)! I really like the maca double chocolate mixed with cold water. Next up in my pantry to try is the banana chia! read more
