Good Things Come in Some Packages!

September 9, 2010

On the topic of healthy snacks this week (and just in time for school), it is within my knowledge to show you what is out there. Snacks that you can get your hands on that I approve of. We all need snacks, they are available, but we have a choice to make. If you have a guideline to follow of what to choose, how to choose, then you are taking one step closer to wellness and a healthy body! In a another post you will learn how to make your own snacks at home.

As a general rule, you want to look for whole foods that are packaged. Pure ingredients made from whole grains, nuts, seeds, dried fruits and natural sweeteners. You should be able to read all of the ingredients on the label (and there shouldn’t be more than 5 unless it is jam-packed super bar) and feel confident that you are putting a good product into your body even though it is packaged!

So here is a my approved guideline for healthy packaged snacks (most of which are in my home):

Bars: Lara Bars, Vega Bars, Pro Bar, Honey Bar, Prana Bar, Organic Food Bar (there are more that aren’t listed here, but hopefully you get the idea)

Rice Cakes with Almond Butter

Sun Warrior or Vega Protein Powder with Almond Milk, Hemp Milk or Rice Milk

Sha Sha Ginger Snap Cookies

Halvah

Pita Break Spelt Crackers with Hummus

Mary’s Crackers with Goat Cheddar

Sheep Yogurt with Granola

Whole Grain Bread with Almond Butter

New Moon Kitchen Cookies

Coconut Bliss Ice Cream

Go Raw Cookies/Chip/Crackers/Granola

Trail Mixes made from Navitas Naturals Products

Raw Crackers and Kale Chips

Dark Organic Chocolate

Raw Dark Organic Chocolate

Herbal Tea

Did I miss anything? I am sure I did. What are some of your amazing, wonderful and healthy snacks that you like to buy ?

Please do share, we all want to hear them!

    And to think that some people disapprove of snacks!
    I recently discovered Mary’s Crackers – they are wonderful. So far I’ve enjoyed them on their own and with my homemade hummus.

  2. You have nailed most of my favorite snacks! Vega & Navitas are two of my favorite options for packaged snacks.
    Thanks for including Coconut Bliss!
