Healthy Snacks My Kids Actually Love
I grew up on Kudos Bars, lunchables, Squeez-Its after soccer games, and my favorite cereal when camping was Corn Pops.
Back then, we didn't think twice about what was in our food - it was fun, it was colorful, it was flavorful, it was popular. What else mattered?
Well, a lot matters now; and, as a mom of two boys under 5, I have a great appreciation for being able to control the food we bring into our home and teaching them how food can nourish the body while not skimping out on flavor...or fun! This is a list of kid-tested and kid-approved low tox snacks on repeat in our home:
-
Skout Bars - my older son has one of these organic snack bars as his morning "treat" every day and they're so much cleaner than other kids' bars on the market! Use code HOLISTICMRS at checkout and save up to 30%!
-
Snack Mates by New Primal - If you have a hard time getting protein into your kids' diet, this is such an easy and delicious way to sneak it in! Fan favorite flavors include the Chicken & Maple and Pizza
- Organic Valley Stringles - most string cheese on the market use milk from GMO cows, contain detectable residues of pesticides, and can have higher levels of growth hormones. Organic Valley is made with organic milk from pasture-raised, non-GMO cows.
-
Simple Mills Pop Mmmms - if your kids love Goldfish, think of this as the cleaner alternative
-
Solely Fruit Jerky - organic, non-GMO, allergen friendly and just whole food ingredients make these fruit strips an excellent swap
-
Sunnie Cheddar Crackers - Skip the Cheez-Its, filled with seed oils and other inflammatory ingredients, harmful food-coloring agents, and TBHQ (a preservative linked to cancer). These taste just as good and way healthier!
-
Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels - great for all ages!
-
Goodpop Freezer Pops - These are one of our favorite Summer treats!
-
LesserEvil Organic Cheddar Space Balls - all the flavor, none of the harmful ingredients
-
Quinn Peanut Butter Pretzels - real ingredients that don't skimp on the nostalgic flavor of a pretzel
We find all our snacks on Thrive Market, a membership-based online market that carries organic and non-GMO groceries, home goods, and beauty products at a more budget-friendly cost. They even have a Price Match Guarantee program and give you the difference in Thrive cash!
