When the after school snack attack hits, you better be at the ready. We went on a mission to find truly healthy treats that didn’t taste, well, healthy. (Our kids don’t fall for kale “chips”.) These fall into the winner winner chicken dinner category. Stock up.
- Roasted Fava Beans: As addictive as chips but totally good for you.
- JicaChips: We’re partial to the white cheddar flavor.
- I Heart Keenwah: A healthy cheese puff?! Say no more.
- Hickory Beef Jerky: We buy it by the 5-pound bag. On the regular. ‘Nuff said.
- Cookie Butter: It’s not the most healthy, but it’s school-safe and healthy-ish when you dip apples into it.
- English Chips: Because if you’re going to eat chips, eat the real deal English variety, which these are.
- Native State Foods: Pinole hot cereals are the answer to breakfast, snack, and dessert.
- Chirps: These tortilla-like chips made of – wait for it – cricket flour (!!) are full of protein and surprisingly delicious.
- Pipcorn: Hull-less kernels are easier to digest and don’t get stuck in your teeth. (The Rosemary flavor is the jam.)
- GinnyBakes: Gluten-free, vegan, non-GMO, kosher, very crunchy, delicious cookies.
- Blood Orange Bites: There’s no reason to ever buy processed gummies when these tasty bits exist.
- Nona Lim: Noodles and broths make quick, satisfying snacks (or meals) – minus all the preservatives.
