Here are some of my favorite healthy packaged snacks for the kids (and let’s be real… for me too!). Perfect for those busy grab-and-go moments.
Packaged Snacks For Kids (and adults too!)
Sure, simple fresh foods and homemade snacks are always a great choice. They’re healthier and more budget friendly. But real life? Real life is BUSY – between schedules, activities and just… everything!
It’s super handy to have some packaged snacks in the pantry ready to go. Luckily there are tons of great options out there that are made with real ingredients and perfect for those busy days when you need something quick and easy to give the kids (and yourself!).
Great For Kids & Adults
My Favorite Packaged Snacks
Below is a list of my current pantry favorites – great for kids (and I love them too!). What I love about these healthy packaged snacks:
- Made from real ingredients: Short and simple ingredient lists with things I actually recognize.
- School safe: They are all nut-free and great lunch box snacks. You might spot a few of them in these Easy Lunch Box Ideas For Kids.
- Versatile: No refrigeration needed! Perfect for after school, lunch box snacks or grabbed on the way out the door.
- Delicious: Obviously want snacks that taste good!
Healthier Sweet Packaged Snacks
- Crunchy fruit chips and bites: I absolutely love the Bare Fruit Chips (so crunchy and satisfying!). They come in apple, coconut and banana, and the best part is they’re literally just fruit baked until perfectly crunchy. If you’re a pineapple fan, the Dole Good Crunch Pineapple Bites are another fun crunchy fruit snack made from 100% pineapple.
- Fun fruit snacks: The Bob Snail fruit snacks (so cute!!) are made with just fruit and come in all sorts of shapes like rolls, sticks and more. You can grab them on Amazon and Well.ca. Another fun one is Bear Fruit Rolls – also just fruit, super tasty and easy to find on Amazon or Well.ca too.
- Granola bars and bites: Some type of MadeGood granola bars or bites are always stocked in our pantry. All their products are safe for school, certified organic and even sneak in some hidden veggie extracts (every bit helps with kids!). Most importantly, my kids love how these taste! Find them on Amazon or Well.ca.
- Coconut rolls: Love this crispy little sweet snack made with a few ingredients. Find them on Amazon or Well.ca.
Healthier Savory Packaged Snacks
- Popcorn: Popcorn is one of my go-to savory snacks. Most of the time I pop it myself but also like keeping a few grab-and-go bags of this high fiber snack in the pantry. Snack size bags are available on Amazon and Well.ca.
- Roasted Chickpeas: A crunchy, high-protein snack that also are a great school safe alternative to nuts. Find them on Amazon or Well.ca.
- Roasted Fava Beans: Another crunchy high fiber, plant protein snack similar to the roasted chickpeas. Grab them on Amazon or Well.ca.
- Pita Chips: The whole family has really been loving these Cedar Valley Pita Chips that are cooked in coconut oil.
- Bunny Crackers: Kids are all about the fun shapes and I love that these ones are made with better ingredients. You can easily find them on Amazon and Well.ca.
