RSP
Healthy food gifts aren’t easy to find, especially for those picky, foodie types we all love to hate! Don’t worry, we have you covered. When life is busy (and it is so busy), the perfect food gifts shouldn’t compromise anybody’s waistline. That’s why we love the TrueFit meal replacement. It has real food ingredients, grass-fed whey protein, and the much-needed, quality probiotics. All the rich protein you could want and the whole food nutrition even your foodie friends will crave.
If you are looking for quality collagen to add into the mix (because we love healthy skin, hair, and nails), drop in the AvoCollagen along with their meal replacement. With hydrolyzed collagen peptides and the delicious nutrient content from avocados, it’s a one-of-a-kind Keto-friendly collagen powerhouse. If that wasn’t fancy enough the Clarity Creamer should round out your food gifts nicely. Your coffee or tea-loving bestie will get their energy boost from healthy MCTs and brain-clarity nootropics every morning. Since it doesn’t contain any sugar, “cheating” never eve happened, even though this tastes amazing!
Eat Clean Bro
Meals that cook themselves? It doesn’t get much better than that when seeking out food gifts this Christmas. Founded in 2013 in the effort of bringing health to your doorstep, Eat Clean Bro offers a selection of fifty fresh, prepared, and ready to eat meals. The Thai Peanut Shrimp meal has all the veggies you need, cooked to satisfy even the pickiest tastebuds! Over a bed of tender carrot noodles lies an Asian stir fry mix with plenty of juicy shrimp, all for right around 500 calories.
One of the classics from Eat Clean Bro, the Cajun Chicken Burger, is a well-rounded tasty meal perfect for lunch or dinner. This healthy selection is the perfect dish for those searching for chicken as the main protein, or by browsing under “Meal Type”. All of the food is satisfying and healthy making it impossible to go wrong with your selections.
Super filling and coming in under 500 calories, the Green Chicken Enchilada Bowl is a flavorful choice for Mexican food lovers. This meal is served on top of spaghetti squash that works surprisingly well with the slow-cooked and shredded chicken, sautéed vegetables, salsa verde, and cheese.
With so many meal choices, it’s nearly impossible to pick just one. The Anthony Ashnault is a great traditional option complete with salmon, orzo, piccata sauce, and steamed asparagus. All meals can be shipped to the Eastern states listed on the website, or also picked up in-store if close enough to one of the Georgia or New Jersey locations. There is someone in everyone’s life who could benefit from pre-made, healthy meals. Give one of the best food gifts around this Christmas with Eat Clean Bro.
Saxelby Cheesemongers
Just because you’re not hosting a large holiday gathering this year doesn’t mean you can’t party like you are! Put a little bit of splurge into the already indulgent season with Saxelby Cheesemongers. The Cheese and Charcuterie makes a delicious gift to yourself or a loved one.

Hilliards Candy
Don’t you dare get someone some holiday food gifts without some amazing combinations of toffee and peppermint in a keepsake wooden gift box! This won’t fit into a stocking, but it will fit just nicely on your love’s nightstand, an end table, or holiday treat table because celebrating the holiday without Almond Toffee Crunch from Hilliards Candy is just wrong. It’s known as “Buttercrunch”, their classic Hilliard recipe that is a beloved treat for everyone. The tender crunch of the almonds and toffee is swallowed up by delicious dark chocolate, topped with almonds for a stunning finish.
Now, think holiday layers in a gorgeous wooden keepsake box for the ultimate treat. The Limited Edition Peppermint Bark comes with the signature dark chocolate layered with creamy white chocolate with a hint of natural peppermint oils. Then add in yet another layer of crushed bits of Hilliards festive red, green, and white peppermint candy. If the color scheme isn’t tempting enough, the flavors will have your mouth begging for more. Oh, and Oprah even thought it was delicious enough to put it on her “Favorite Things” list back in 2018!
Another beautifully decorated peppermint bark from Hilliards Candy, the Hanukkah Peppermint Bark is layered similarly but comes with a gorgeous, specially made mix of blue crushed peppermint hard candy. It still has the signature dark chocolate and smooth white chocolate layers with just enough peppermint oil to compliment the flavors but now, with the holiday cheer of sparkly blues. Hilliards Candy makes any food gifts an absolute pleasure for anyone who appreciates a lovely sweet treat!

Woodlife Ranch
If the holidays or Christmas morning calls for a stack of waffles, pancakes or French toast, then they definitely call for any bottle of the Woodlife Ranch syrups.

With 4oz. each of the Golden, Amber, Dark, Bourbon Barrel-Aged and Applewood Smoked Maple Syrups wrapped nicely in a branded box, you’ll get a taste of heaven 5-times over. Or mix and match them over your breakfast for a customer flavor creation.
If syrups aren’t your thing, or you know someone who just loves honey, then picking up a jar of their Bourbon Aged Honey is a must. This special sweetener is aged in Williamstown, MA for at least 6 months, which gives it a unique flavor profile you can’t find anywhere but Woodlife Ranch.
What goes best with delectable and sweet syrups and honey food gifts? Most definitely a bag of Maple Buttermilk Pancake & Waffle Mix from Woodlife Ranch. These delicious, easy-to-make pancakes are the stuff holiday breakfast dreams are made of.

Vervana
Sometimes it’s the simplicity of quality flavor and beautiful execution of a gift that makes it the best type to both give and get. We love this Koroneiki Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil Gift Set from Vervana for those reasons and more. With the addition of a loaf freshly baked bread, this gift set becomes a perfect accompaniment to a bottle of wine and good company.

Give the stocking stuffer that keeps on giving, courtesy of Back to the Roots.
Baker’s Bacon
Need some food gifts for the bacon lover in your life? Yes, we know, that was a rhetorical question! Well, if you are looking for an applewood smoked flavor that is smoked twice as long as most other products, then pick up some Thick Sliced Double Smoked Bacon. Heck, not only is it double smoked with applewood, it also gets a blast of smoky goodness from maple wood as well. They’ll enjoy not only a great tasting feast of a bacon piece, but it will beautify their breakfast plate in a deep rich color to match those deep bacon flavors we all know and love; perfectly balanced with salt, smoke, and sugar.
You could also add the Thick Sliced Uncured Back Bacon to your food gifts list. The combination of salt and raw brown sugar lends a dark, nutty sweetness to the signature blend of spices and naturally occurring nitrites from the celery as it’s naturally cured in a wet brine solution. Baker’s Bacon has the flavor from quality pork, spices, and time, and it’s absolutely delicious!
Bee K’onscious
Nothing sweeter to drop into a stocking is sweet sweet honey, but not just any honey will do. Bee K’onscious creates each jar of honey from a single origin sourced from upstanding beekeepers from around the world. For those who love food gifts, they’ll appreciate the “hive to home” approach instead of mass-produced, unknown honey origins with sketchy ingredients.
So, who wouldn’t enjoy 200% pure, unfiltered Organic Raw Brazilian Wild Mint or the festive new Organic Raw Brazilian Christmas Berry, unpasteurized, un-blended honey. The holidays just got a lot more delicious while giving your bodies all the good stuff from raw honey to naturally help fight disease like it’s supposed to.
Big Spoon Roasters
Food gifts for the holidays are ones that your family and friends will truly remember. But instead of just picking something at random from the store, add a bit of creativity to your food gifts with a PB&J of the Month Subscription from Big Spoon Roasters! Each month your loved one will receive a jar of each of their featured jam paired with fresh-roasted peanut butter. There are so many opportunities for unique PB&J, like Fiji Ginger Almond Butter and Chocolate Sea Salt Almond butter with Wildflower Honey. With the option of a 3, 6, and 12-month subscription, this is one of those food gifts that just keep giving!

AMPower Energy Bar
Sometimes it’s hard shopping for food gifts for the athletic foodie in your life. Well, maybe we can give you a bit of a nudge in the right direction. If they would love the equivalent of the protein of 3 eggs with 100mg of coffee (that’s just one cup, chill) with no loss of time getting to the gym, then yeah, we have you covered with the AMPower Energy Bar. It’s 100% natural with Non-GMO ingredients to deliver nothing but squeaky clean energy without artificial side-effects of the jitters or anxiousness that may come with some energy bars containing unfavorable ingredients.
This is the kind of food gift that is pleasant to the gut as well. The added prebiotics help with good gut microbe balancing for health and mental focus. So now, it’s about which flavor to choose, the Himalayan Salt or the Salted Caramel with Himalayan Salt and Cinnamon. Ah, heck, it’s the holidays, splurge a little on healthy food gifts like these, or just keep one for yourself; we totally would.
Universal Yums
Who does not love food gifts during the holidays? They are perfect for the person in your life who seems to already have everything.

Gift one Yum Yum Box or a subscription for three, six, or 12 months to make the adventure last all year.
Lenny & Larry’s
Since cookies are a staple commodity during the holidays anyway, if they are not on your food gift list, there’s either something very wrong with you, or you simply haven’t found the perfect cookie gift! Let’s assume it’s the latter. So, here you go, Lenny and Larry’s Complete Cookie Holiday Variety Pack at your service and into someone’s mouth who will have zero guilt about it later.
