My Favorite Packaged Snacks

While my first choice when giving snacks to my kids is to offer whole, organic foods, that’s not always realistic. A supply of packaged snacks is essential between school, camp, afternoon activities, sports practices, impromptu park dates, travel, etc. Fortunately, there are a lot of great healthier packaged snack options that are based in real, wholesome ingredients with minimal processing available these days. I love attending Natural Products Expo West each year to learn about the best new products on the market. I still do my best to moderate the amount of packaged snacks my kids are consuming, but like I say about everything - 80/20 when possible and no need to make yourself crazy.  Here are a few of my current favorite packaged snacks: 

Skout Organic: Plant-based ingredients and free of gluten, dairy, and soy. Use code DRORGANICMOMMY

Asha Pops: Popped water lily seeds plant-based puffed snack.Use code DRORGANICMOMMY

Solely gummies and Solely fruit snacks: dried mango and pineapple, when eating these make sure your kids floss their teeth. I tape a floss stick to the package so my kids can floss their teeth after eating this.

Chomps organic beef sticks: Grass-fed and finished. I only use these for travel when needed.

Brami beans: Lupini superbean is one of the most nutrient-dense plants on the planet.

SeaSnax seaweed: Sustainably grown roasted organic seaweed with a touch of organic extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of sea salt.

Lundberg Thin Stackers: Great to eat plain or add hummus or guacamole.

Philosopher’s Foods Gut Nuts: Fermented and dehydrated almonds.  Use code DRORGANICMOMMY

Bare baked apple snacks: I make sure to get organic.

Joolie's dates: Pit free and organic.

Feel Sunnie: They currently offer local delivery within the Los Angeles area and ship to all 48 states in the contiguous US. Use code DRORGANICMOMMY

Masa chips: Even better if you can pair with cottage cheese or guacamole. Use code DRORGANICMOMMY

Wise Bars Use code DRORGANICMOMMY Each bar has 3000mg of functional mushroom blends, packed with adaptogenic properties that serve a health purpose. 

Happy Wolf Bars sweetened with honey and dates and tastes amazing.

Pan’s mushroom jerky mushroom jerky made with coconut sugar. It is such a delicious snack. I love that I can have it in my bag and it won’t go bad.

May not count as packaged food but I like to include:

  • Organic pickles

  • Organic hearts of palm

  • Homemade fruit leathers: I have a reel on how I make these. You can use left over fruit to make these fruit leathers, chia jam, or cobblers. * When eating these make sure your kids floss their teeth. I tape a floss stick to the package so my kids can floss their teeth after eating this.
