Every Body Eat® Ginger Cinnamon Cookie Bites Named NEXTY Award Finalist at Expo West 2025

 Proving that 'darn good cookies' can be clean, too

EVANSTON, Ill., Feb. 13, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Every Body Eat®'s Ginger Cinnamon Cookie Bites have been named a finalist for a NEXTY Award at Natural Products Expo West 2025.  The Nexty Awards, recognized as the highest honor for innovation in natural foods, spotlight game-changing products that are revolutionizing clean eating. 

"This nomination proves what we've been saying all along—clean-label snacks aren't just 'good for you.' They can be flat-out delicious," said Trish Thomas, Co-Founder and Chief Eating Officer of Every Body Eat®. "Our Ginger Cinnamon Cookie Bites bring a level of sexy to the cookie aisle. They start out crispy, evolve to chewy with real bits of candied ginger, then crumble and melt in your mouth. The fact that these vegan cookies are certified seed oil free, gluten-free, non-GMO and kosher is just a bonus."

Breaking the Clean-Label Compromise
For too long, consumers had to choose between clean and craveable. Allergen-friendly snacks were safe but bland, while indulgent treats were packed with junk. Every Body Eat® refuses to compromise. "We love food—real food that makes you feel good—and we refuse to sacrifice taste just for the sake of clean," said Nichole Wilson, Co-Founder and President of Every Body Eat®. (She would know. As a former R&D strategy lead at Frito-Lay, she spent years fine-tuning the 'bliss point' of some of the most craveable snacks on the market. Now, she's using her superpowers to make Every Body Eat® snacks just as irresistible—but without the junk.)
