Nothing beats spending quality time with your closest girlfriends. If you’re like me and prefer having an intimate dinner party instead of checking out the latest clubs, a low-key night in with your squad might be something fun to do for a change. 

Slip on your comfiest pjs, put on a romantic comedy and indulge in these delicious party snacks:

#1. Simple Mills Sprouted Seed Crackers

These grain-free crackers are made with nutrient-dense ingredients such as sprouted flax seeds, sprouted sunflower seeds, hemp seeds, chia seeds, cassava flour and rosemary extract. Spread a layer of cream cheese over and enjoy!

#2. Plant Snacks’ Super Seed Mix

These cassava root chips are allergy-friendly, meaning that they are free of the top 8 allergens. There’s also no added sugar! They have a nice crunch and taste great alone.

#3. Siete Grain Free Tortilla Chips:

Made with cassava as well, these thin, crisp chips have just the right amount of salt. The hint of lime is a lovely touch and goes perfectly well with spicy salsa!

#4. Health-Ade Kombucha:

Kombucha is such a delicious, versatile drink. It’s perfect on its own, as a mixer in an alcoholic drink or added to an ice-cream float for a fun, modern interpretation (try this Vanilla Raspberry Kombucha Float recipe).
