The Top Spring Pantry Buys on Amazon to Actually Buy ASAP

Everyone’s heard of Amazon, as for it’s one of the largest online retails for anything and everything from their Echo Dot to weird finds such as this plush pickle creature to this “Hi I’m Mat” doormat. Needless to say, Amazon’s just a tad bit weird, but it’s convenient nonetheless. Aside from buying and controlling Whole Foods along with their prices, Amazon also sells food online. With finals week slapping most of us in the face, the need for care packages and munchies is rapidly increasing; on that note, here’s what you should buy (or ask for) in terms of snacks from Amazon. 

Black Forest Gummy Bears

These are 2019 Product of the Year award-winning gummy bears from Black Forest. They’re not just any gummy bears, though; they’re deliciously juicy since they’re made with real fruit juice for flavor and for color. The gummy bears themselves have a new and improved bright color and a Black Forrest tree on each one of their bellies. 

Del Monte® Fruit & Oats

Another 2019 Product of the Year award winner that’s available for purchase on Amazon, Del Monte® Fruit & Oats™ is the first oatmeal that’s out on the market with one whole full serving of orchard-ripened fruit in it. The nice thing about this oatmeal is that you can eat it whenever, wherever and that the blend of oats that’s used gives you, the consumer of this product 400mg of Omega- 3s and 20g of whole grains per serving.

Nightfood Ice Cream

If you’re anything like me, you are indeed a fan of ice cream; although you try not to scream when you see it; that’s just weird. 2019 Product of the Year award-winning ice cream brand  Nightfood Ice Cream not only is available for purchase on Amazon, but was designed to stop this evil late night cravings from occurring in a healthier and sleep-friendly way. Each and every pint of Nightfood Ice Cream utilizes trademarked CraveMonster packaging and has sleep-supporting minerals, enzymes, and amino acids that are infused in the actual ice cream. Cool right? 

Flavors of Nightfood Ice Cream include Midnight Chocolate, Full Moon Vanilla, Cookies n’ Dreams, After-Dinner Mint Chip, Cold-Brew Decaf, Milk & Cookie Dough, Cherry Eclipse, and Breakfast in Bed (maple ice cream with waffle chunks); so yes if you’ve counted that right, there are eight whole flavors to choose from… not bad not bad.

ZYN® – Holistic Wellness™ Beverage

ZYN all natural infusion beverages are available for purchase on Amazon and exist for the sole purpose of providing healing hydration. ZYN all natural infusion beverages are made from clean and simple ingredients along with 200 milligrams of Curcumin (aka Turmeric’s source of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant healing power) in every bottle. The actual content of said ZYN all natural infusion beverages are blended with Piperine to help move the whole absorption process along; flavors include Mixed Berry and Mango Lychee. All of the ZYN all natural infusion beverages come with 10 calories, two grams of sugar, and no artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors or preservatives.

Sparkling Ice

Low and behold my friend Sparkling Ice, and they have just released Sparkling Ice +Caffeine. Sparkling Ice +Caffeine is zero-calorie sparkling water with caffeine. Flavors include Black Raspberry, Blue Raspberry, Triple Citrus, Strawberry Citrus and Orange Passionfruit. Each bottle contains 70mg of caffeine, zero sugar, zero calories, antioxidants and vitamins. 

While these are just some of the wonderful options that Amazon has available for purchase online, you can’t argue with me on the fact that any and all of these items will save your life time come finals week. Bon voyage.
