Good and Gather Olive Oil Popcorn

Airy, salty, and perfectly snackable, this Good and Gather Olive Oil & Himalayan Salt Popcorn is made with non-GMO kernels popped in olive oil and finished with Himalayan pink salt. It’s lighter than chips but still delivers that satisfying crunch. Because it’s a whole grain, popcorn comes with fiber to help keep you full, making it an easy pick for movie nights, road trips, or tossing in your bag for later.

Grillos Pickle Spears

Grillo’s Pickle Spears stand out because they’re made with fresh cucumbers, garlic, dill, and a clean brine, without the preservatives, dyes, and added sugar. The dill isn’t just for flavor, it’s naturally rich in antioxidants and has been linked to benefits for digestion and heart health. A crisp, tangy snack you can feel good about whether on a burger, with a sandwich, or straight from the jar.

Asiago and Pepper Jack Whisps

Whisps turn real cheese into light, crispy bites you can snack on anytime. The asiago brings sharp, nutty flavor while the pepper jack adds a kick of spice. They're perfect if you like your snacks bold and savory. Unlike chips or crackers, these baked cheese crisps are naturally low-carb, gluten-free, and keto-friendly.

Good and Gather Dried Mango

These Good and Gather Dried Mango slices are just that—mango. No added sugar, no sulfites, no extras. They’re chewy, tangy, and naturally sweet, making them an easy snack to grab on the go. Toss a few in trail mix, layer them into yogurt, or keep a bag in your pantry for when you want something fruity without the junk.

Applegate Turkey Breast

Applegate’s Organic Turkey Breast is made with simple ingredients and humanely raised turkey without the fillers, nitrates, or artificial flavors. While many deli meats sneak in preservatives, this one stays organic, non-GMO, and straightforward. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or topping salads, it’s a fridge staple that makes healthy eating easy.
These Target picks show that eating cleaner doesn’t have to be complicated. It starts with checking labels and choosing products made with real ingredients.
