While in Detroit, I explored some nice local Michigan companies who are making good quality treats. They are more dessert in my brain - I wouldn't have these as a meal, as I try to be superhero as often as possible. But in a pinch these are great go-to snacks! Check it out:

A company called Pure NRG Raw makes some pretty decent vegan bars. Now, I'm not a believer in bars all the time...but when I'm at work for 15 hours a day and need a snack....these are fun! I enjoyed the cherry pecan, brownie bar, and carob peanut butter flavors the most!

Another bar I liked is the Raw Way Lean Green Crunch - it's darn good and made with spirulina, nuts, raisins, and agave.

I also had a local almond butter that Kind Lifer Wendy brought to me....seriously insanely delicious!!!! Krysten Ritter (pictured above) loves it and so does the whole hair and makeup trailer. I like it so much, although it has sucanat (non-refined sugar cane) in it...so not superhero....but soooooo good.

Local organic grocer Plum Market (locations in Ann Arbor, Bloomfield, and West Bloomfield) has the best cookies I've had since being in Detroit! The peanut butter cookie is insane! The oatmeal cookies and trail mix cookies are amazing too! Holy moly! The fig bar is nice also, but wow those cookies are the best! They are in the little fresh bakery part of the store. They say vegan on a little sign. Not superhero...I repeat not superhero! But an occasional treat for a superhero doesn't hurt.

Avalon Bakery is another cute place that happens to supply Plum Market. I got two loaves of bread there, one cherry-walnut and another scallion-dill. Both were delicious with this olive tapenade we got there too.

Next door was a place called Goodwell's Natural Foods Market, one of my favorite places so far. We walked there, which took about thirty minutes, and the people hanging out there were so neat. They were older people who were groovy and relaxed, just sitting outside enjoying their snacks. One older man had long dreds. It just had good vibes! In the store we had a great, fresh salad, which I was really needing. We also had some rice dream ice cream bars. It was just an all-around great place!
 
I like that all of these companies are Michigan-based. What are your favorite local snacks?
