Snacking on the fly can be a challenge, especially when it comes to finding nutritious, non-perishable options. But fear not! We've compiled a list of 32 exquisite snacks that require no refrigeration and are packed with health benefits. Dive into these tasty suggestions, and say goodbye to those unhealthy, convenience store treats.
Store-bought Delights
- Annie Chun's Seaweed Snacks: Loaded with antioxidants, calcium, and various vitamins and minerals, this tasty treat can make you feel like a seaweed queen (or king) without tasting like yuck-algae. With flavors like brown sugar, snack time has never felt so heavenly.
- Trail Mix: A favorite among hikers, trail mix is a delightful blend of nuts, fruits, and other goodies. However, be cautious of high sugar and saturated fat content. Luckily, with some clever tricks, like portion control, storing in individual bags, or trying homemade trail mix recipes, you can make this classic snack healthier.
- Green Pea Chips: For when store-bought is easier than homemade, there's Trader Joe's Contemplative Inner Peas. Filled with greens and packed with flavor, try not to inhale the entire bag at once (but we won't judge if you do).
- Pretzels and Cheese: Cheese might need refrigeration, but string cheese doesn't. Pair this cold-stored delight with some whole-grain pretzels for a perfect midday munchie.
- Mary's Gone Crackers: If you're gluten-free, rejoice! These crackers are tasty, sturdy, and made with healthy grains, including brown rice and flax. Top them with Justin's nut butter squeeze packets for a filling, delish snack.
- Dry Cereal: Known for being an easy, convenient breakfast, some cereals can be thrown into a container, tossed in your bag, and enjoyed on the go. Just watch the serving sizes and scan the labels to ensure your chosen cereal isn't packed with excess calories and sugar.
Flavorful Packaged Options
- Suzie's Puffed Rice Thin Cakes: Look for a lighter, compact alternative to traditional rice cakes with these puffed rice cakes. They're perfect for topping with avocado and a dash of Sriracha for a delightful, flavor-packed snack.
- Dark Chocolate: Enjoy the antioxidant-rich, and even mood-boosting benefits of dark chocolate but watch your moderation. Pair it with a healthy sidekick, like clementines or pomegranate seeds, for a satisfying treat.
- Turbana Plantain Chips: Chips made from plantains might be less familiar, but they're a fantastic, healthier swap for regular potato chips. With Turbana's all-natural ingredients in seven delicious flavors, you're sure to find a new favorite.
- Buddy Fruits: Enjoy the convenience of squeezed fruit in a pouch with Buddy Fruits. These convenient pouches come in various flavors, made with 100% real fruit. A healthy snack for all ages!
- KIND Cinnamon Oat Bar: High in fiber, low in sugar, and incredibly delicious. Just be aware that these bars tend to crumble, so make sure you pack a napkin along.
- CHOMPS Grass-Fed Beef Jerky: Packed with high protein, this jerky makes for an easy, back-pocket snack. Pair it with whole wheat crackers for a tasty, mini-meal.
