Kristen Bell
Beloved actress Kristen Bell is co-founder of the snack bar company This Bar Saves Lives, which makes nut- and seed-based bars that give back. Every time you buy one, they donate a nutrition packet to a child in need. The company just debuted new flavors that include Dark Chocolate & Coconut and PB & J (yum!) at Expo West.

Jennifer Garner

Elle Macpherson
Supermodel Elle Macpherson felt transformed by adopting a mostly plant-based diet and taking two teaspoons of a green powder developed by her nutritional doctor, which inspired her to launch WellCo. “I have had more energy and felt healthier than ever. It made me realise the profound impact food can have on the way I feel. It has transformed my life,” she says. In addition to the SUPER ELIXIR Greens Powder, the company now also sells plant protein and calming teas.

The famed Italian TV chef has probably already taught you a few kitchen tricks, but how about her approach to snacking while Neflix-ing? Laurentiis collaborated with Simply7 on a line of popcorn that’s pretty compelling: think flavors like Parmesan Cheese or Sea Salt & Olive Oil made with non-GMO blue and red corn that’s higher in antioxidants.
