Have you ever heard that shopping the perimeter of your grocery store is a good way to eat better? It’s effective advice, as that is where whole-food items such as produce, meat and fish are typically located. But thanks to impressive innovation from new and existing natural food brands, venturing into the aisles of natural grocery stores needn’t curtail your healthy eating plans.

Now in its sixth year, Delicious Living’s Best Bite Awards laud health-promoting packaged products that contain less sugar and sodium; more protein, fiber and good fats; and simpler ingredients you can pronounce. From butternut squash–infused ketchup to a bean-kale-quinoa microwaveable meal, the following winners across 25 categories allow eating well to also mean eating easy. And as savvy natural foodies like you are mindful to not only a product’s ingredients but also where they came from, the following products are from companies that source responsibly.

Keep shopping the produce section—and place these award-winning products into your cart as well.
