Cliff Mojo Bar

Cliff Mojo Bars in Peanut Butter Pretzel Flavor

Though they’re ultra convenient, I find that most snack/energy bars taste yucky in an artificial/cardboard kinda way. After a pal introduced me to these, however, I am completely hooked on their salty-sweet goodness. They’re packed with roasted whole nuts, organic pretzel pieces and little peanut butter chip morsels. These babies are seriously GOOD. And at only 200 calories each, they’re a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon guilt-free snack. If you like peanut butter and pretzels, I have no doubt that once you try them, you’ll be keeping a stash in your car, purse and diaper bag, too.

($13.25 for a case of 12 bars, www.amazon.com)


Method Fresh Air Laundry Detergent

Method Fresh Air Laundry Detergent

This ultra-concentrated, biodegradable, plant-based laundry detergent will leave your clothes super clean and fresh-smelling, yet leave only a teeny-tiny footprint on the planet. Here’s how: The detergent is ultra concentrated—eight times concentrated, to be exact— so you need a much smaller amount than with other leading brands, which means you'll also be using less water and other resources to wash your clothes, and the compact, recyclable bottle is made from 50 percent recycled plastic. And thanks to a compact design and a no-mess, precision-dosing pump that's designed for one-handed use, it couldn't be easier or more convenient to use.

($15.12 for a 20-oz. bottle, www.amazon.com)


Kokopax Eco-Classic Carrier

Kokopax Eco-Classic Carrier

I’ve always loved the idea of a backpack-style baby carrier, but I’ve never found one that doesn’t scream “camping gear” (I know, I know, this is probably a function-over-form item, but I’m just not an outdoorsy kinda girl, okay?). This one from Kokopax, however, is so absolutely freaking adorable that I’d welcome the opportunity to tote a baby around in it. On top of its cuteness, it’s eco-friendly, too, as it incorporates the latest technology in green textile printing. And what a great “from the group” gift for a baby shower, no?

($180, www.kokopax.com)
