Organic products and the people who purchase them is an ever-growing and changing marketplace. Many people are looking for greener ways to live their lives, which requires a shift in habits—eating habits, purchasing patterns, and even what they choose to wear.

The fact remains, however, that we still live in a busy society where things are moving forward, and fast. Here is a list of some great organic snacks and drinks you can eat in a flash to keep you going.

Energy and Meal-Replacement Bars

1. Bumble Bars: Bumble Bars are not only organic energy bars, but they are gluten-free and vegan as well. Take one of these with you for the commute, or save one for later in the day to keep you going without turning to the nearest snack machine.

2. Pro Bars: These fully-organic bars are full meal-replacements, which is great for those days when you have no time. Nourish your body with a Pro Bar and keep on moving.

3. Clif Bars: The Clif brand is one of the leading manufacturers of organic energy products, including drinks and other snacks.

4. Peak Bars: Peak makes organic products for a variety of lifestyles. Whether you need bars for wellness, balanced nutrition, performance, or even snacks for your kids, take a look at what Peak has to offer.

5. Think Organic: Think Products makes 100% USDA Organic nutrition bars, as well as other bars made with whole foods and all-natural ingredients.
