In addition to I am Grounded \"Supr Bars\" -- a caffeinated protein bar from an Australian-based company on a mission to reduce food waste by upcycling coffee fruit -- Sassos shared two additional favorites below.

Elevated water

With the beverage space booming -- from people looking to level up hydration habits with trendy reusable bottles to innovative sips -- Sassos pointed out that \"consumers are thirsty for beverages with health benefits, like added electrolytes, vitamins and antioxidants.\"

\"Pricklee's cactus water is made from real prickly pears and is a natural source of electrolytes, antioxidants and vitamin C, and has a light and fresh fruity taste,\" she said of one such drink. \"Sparkling water is also a fantastic option and has become anything but boring, like Aura Bora's super unique flavors. Sanzo is a sparkling water that celebrates Asian flavors and fruits without excess sugar or artificial additives.\"

Luxury produce

While designers prepare to hit the runways of New York City next month with high fashion, there's something to be said about adding a little luxe to your lifestyle beyond the closet and into the kitchen.

\"High-end fruits are popular in Japanese gifting culture, and we’re seeing this idea gaining traction in the U.S.,\" Sassos said. \"These more expensive options are often grown in a special way.\"

Consider things like fruit that grows one per tree or is vertically-farmed, hand-picked, then shipped all over the world from producers in places like Costa Rica, Vietnam and Japan. Examples range from \"the $20 Oishii strawberries to Fresh Del Monte Pinkglow Pineapples,\" Sassos explained.

If \"luxury\" produce isn't in your budget, don't worry: There are plenty of supercharged fruits with vibrant flavor that can help you reap nutritional benefits without spending more, like Cosmic Crisp apples.
