Healthy Snacks for On the Go

School is in full swing and between pick up, drop off, errands, dance classes, and martial arts, I can barely get a break.  Is anyone else feeling like that right now?  Today, I'm sharing what I put in my on the go snack bag because no one likes a hangry mommy.

I try to keep healthier snacks in the car or my purse to keep me.  I also try to have self stable options that I can carry around so that I don't have to worry about bringing an ice pack or finding a fridge.  Also, I am one of the clumsiest people you'll ever meet do I try to find things that are sturdy because having smashed banana all over your phone isn't very fun.  I also try to keep snacks that I can hand to my kids too because no one likes a hangry kid.


1. Beef Jerky.  Jerky is my favorite healthy snack.  Obviously, you can change that out for turkey jerky too if you'd like.  I find that protein keeps me full and satisfied.  My whole family loves it so this is our go-to road trip snack as well.  I've recently really started like "original" flavored jerky which is usually lower in sugar than the other flavors.

2. Arbonne Bars.  I think bars are the easiest, most convenient healthy snack.  I really like these Arbonne Bars because they are lower in sugar than other bars but they have lots of vegan protein and fiber.  I also like that buying these bars supports my local mom friends who sell Arbonne.

3. Eat Right Edibles Veggie Chips.  I love this brand because they are really health conscious and keep up with the current food trends!  They are also a local company.  They never add artificial dyes to their products.  This chip bag contains sweet potato (yellow and purple), squash, taro, carrot, and green beans.  I feel like some times I just need a crunchy snack and these fit the bill for me.

4. Almonds.  I live in what feels like the almond capital of the world which is lucky because they are my favorite nut!  Often times I will pick up almonds at my local farmers market or sometimes I'll pick something up at the store like these Hog Wild cajun almonds.  I LOVE spicy almonds!  I love spicy flavors AND it usually makes me drink more water so it's a win win.  Sometimes I'll have lightly salted almonds and sometimes I treat myself to the chocolate ones too.



What kind of snacks do you like when you're on the go?  Do you also feel like you run a taxi service for small children who never tip you?  Let me know in the comments!

  5. Almonds are the best! I always have good intentions with apples or bananas, but I either end up wasting them or bruising them to death haha. Larabars are amazing - no added sugar at all, but they're really tasty!

  7. I LOVE jerky but I never buy it because my husband isn't a fan. I do love those dried mango strips you can get at Costco though, those are so yummy!
