    Banza's mac n cheese is top notch in the gluten free world. Highly recommend the white cheddar, in particular. I also appreciate that the nutritional profile makes it more 'healthy' / feel acceptable to eat a whole box in one sitting... Their pizza is also quite good, but it's more of a flatbread.

    The quality of Italic's products at the price points offered is really impressive. I've purchased products across a range of categories, everything from cashmere joggers to cookwear to candles, and I've generally been impressed. All products are non-branded, so one has to be the type that doesn't care about labels

    Still my go-to water bottle brand due to its temperature control features, but it is quite difficult to clean, given it cannot go in the dish washer. My only complaint is that I end up having to replace my Swell every few months

    Easier cleaning

    Native is my favorite brand of clean deodorant / bodycare products. That said, the deodorant is still an adjustment for those used to non-clean deodorants -- there is noticeably less coverage / long-lasting protection by comparison. Not a knock on Native, but just the reality of clean deodorant products today. Native's rose scent is AMAZING.

    Love the mission and idea behind this brand. Love their social media content & am an avid follower still. Haven't purchased the card game just yet, however

    Feedback

    Tech-enabled versions of the game could be interesting via an app or some other type of content subscription vs. just printed cards

    Peloton's digital classes and instructors are best-in-class. Whether or not you own a bike personally, have access to one through a gym, or don't have one at all, there's ways to get a lot out of Peloton's digital offering with the app content. I also love doing Peloton's 'tread bootcamp' workouts using the app on my phone on a regular (non-Peloton) treadmill

    LMNT is my current favorite of the hydration powder products (LiquidIV, Hydrant, etc.). The nutritional profile is excellent and I appreciate that it's sodium-based rather than sugar-based to reduce any spikes in energy. Great for after / during high-intensity workouts.

    Really delicious -- and has both caffeinated and non-caffeinated flavors to best suit your use case / time of day. Would describe it as a sparkling tonic / would appeal to those who like kombucha and/or tonics like Olipop

    SOOO delicious. I love a flavored almond milk (not a purist on unsweetened / natural flavor in this space), and I was really impressed by the vanilla pistachio milk. Creamy and pretty strong flavor; the vanilla comes through in a nice / subtle way that doesn't overpower the pistachio

    OLIPOP

    Olipop is a feel-good drink. Overall, it's a healthy alternative to traditional soda, but even if this wasn't your goal, the flavors are uniquely nostalgic and innovative at the same time. Big fan of the Strawberry Vanilla flavor in particular; the Cola flavors are more of a 4/5 rating for me.
