I have some really exciting news for you guys! You know CVS, right? Well they contacted me recently and wanted to know if I would help them spread the word that they are carrying a whole bunch of healthy food. They rattled off a ton of brands that we love, so I was intrigued. They sent me this gift box and I’m BLOWN AWAY you guys.
CVS sent me this gift box FULL of gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly, WHOLE foods! There’s a CVS a very short walk from my house. Much closer than the grocery store where I shop. Not to mention, thousands of CVS across the country. To be able to run in and quickly grab these healthy foods is ah-mazing to me. Are you applauding them as loudly as I am?!?!
They also sent me a gift card, because they wanted me to see what they have for myself, and truthfully, I was hoping that my CVS would have some of the brands that they mentioned to me, but didn’t include in my gift box. So I went across the street to my CVS, and…
…score!!! I was texting my husband photos of this stuff as I was finding it, I was so happy! 🙂 I’ll give you the breakdown of what they sent me (which I also found at my CVS) as well as the other items that I picked up myself!
- Krave Beef Jerky, Sweet Chipotle and Chili Lime
- Crunchies, Freeze Dried Strawberries
- Dang, Toasted Coconut Chips
- Organic Mama Chia, Green Magic and Cherry Beet (my kids are OBSESSED with these)
- Larabar, Blueberry Muffin, Cashew Coconut, and Apple Pie
- Go Raw, organic Banana Bread Sprouted Bites
- Kind Bars, Oats & Honey with Toasted Coconut
- Vita Coco (one of multiple good brands that they had in the fridge and the grocery aisle!)
- Organic Grape Juice (there was also organic apple by the same brand, and not pictured: Knudsen Organic, Just Cranberry, Just Tart Cherry, and Just Pomegranate!!!)
- GimMe Organic Seaweed Snacks
- Kind, Mango Apple Chia
- Emmy’s Dark Cacao Macaroons (they also had Emmy’s Lemon Ginger Macaroons)
- Alive & Radiant Foods, Organic Ranch Kale Krunch (they also had the Quite Cheezy flavor, both excellent!)
- Wild Planet, Wild Sardines in extra virgin olive oil
- Wild Planet, Wild Alaskan Pink Salmon
- Curate, Harmonious Blend Bar, and Dark & Tempting Bar
- Epic, Almond Cranberry Turkey Bars, and Pulled Pork Bars
This is HUGE, right? And all the prices were right on, not overpriced! I know I know, I’m totally cheerleading for CVS 🙂 It had me thinking: how many people who don’t shop at health food stores are going to find this real food goodness now that they’re at CVS, ya know? The checkout lady told me that she had never had any of the brands I was buying until CVS started selling them, and now she’s hooked! That’s so awesome.
At my CVS I also found, but didn’t purchase yet: Unsweetened Non-GMO Almond Milk and Coconut Milk, Pellegrino, Pacific Organic Bone Stock (chicken and turkey), Drink Maple, Organic Black Chia Seeds, almond butter, gluten-free crackers, and organic salsa without added sugar.
In addition to the 2, 900 stores stocking these healthy foods, another 360 CVS stores are getting new layouts with a wider variety of healthy foods in expanded refrigerated sections and prominent displays. Ah, yaaaaaass!
Thought you’d want to know! This sure makes my life and traveling SO much easier! 🙂

Awesome! I have one in walking distance too! I’m going to have to give them a try! It’s great to know they are reaching out to our community.

These snacks are healthy snacks and paleo friendly…
Diana says
This is so great to know, thank you! I was at a conference in Anaheim and literally CVS was the only place I could walk to find produce! Great for those going to Disney to keep in mind…
Jill says
I recently moved deeper into the Southwest and noticed this at my local CVS, I thought it was the strangest thing and wondered if it was a small experiment of some kind. So glad the goodies are here to stay! Everytime I go back there’s something new!
Meredith says
Wow! This is amazing! I can’t wait to check out my local CVS stores. I’m really hoping they are carrying these brands, too, since I live in a rural area that’s not exactly a health-mecca.

CVS needs to come to Coeur d’Alene, ID.
Jeanne says
This sounds really great. My only problem is that many of these items contain sugar and I can’t have any! I react badly to sugar, even organic cane sugar. But it is great to know there are some things in there that I can eat. It is so frustrating when traveling, like you say!
Suzanne says
Woot Woot!
My local po-dunk town wal-mart began carrying organic grass-fed beef this past summer! Things are looking up!
CalRee says
Thank you for letting us know CVS is carrying these items! I shop at CVS regularly but NEVER go near the food aisle so I would never have spotted any of these products.
Patty says
This is great! I never went to the food aisles in CVS because I always thought it was junk food. So happy to know about this!
Dorothy says
This is awesome. Thanks so much for sharing. I never would have thought to look for these products at a CVS. BTW, thank you for all the goodness you share on your blog.
