protein is the number one marker! none of us get enough protein!
we are always trying to add more protein to our diet and these snacks help get us to our goal
girls (and hubby) weren’t a huge fan of most of the other meat sticks we tried but these one they all loved and we’ve eaten them for probably 5 years without getting tired of the flavor
The New Primal, Snack Mates Sticks, Chicken & Maple
there are even better options if you want to go full in on this one but here’s our go to for less expensive bone broth. contrary to popular opinion in the health world - bone broth is actually not recommended for every day. But I like to use some for...
Thrive Market Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth
maybe my most proud entry on the whole app… it took me YEARS to work my girls away from sugary junky yogurt to one that is truly healthy - that they actually LOVE. They call this “flower yogurt” because of the vanilla on the front. I buy two tubs of ...
Siggi's Icelandic Skyr Nonfat Yogurt, Vanilla, 5.3 oz
fruity snacks that are always a win
fruit flavor and nutrition without having to clean/slice/store/wash dishes!
I started getting these for hubby when he needed more fiber in his diet, but the girls saw them and wanted some and then ended up loving it, so now these are a monthly staple… great for a diaper bag addition so if you’re on the go and can’t get to so...
Mamma Chia Organic Prebiotic Blueberry Snack
we used to buy applesauces from Costco but the girls got tired of them, so I tried these… always a hit and they actually ask for them for breakfast sometimes! Another great diaper bag option

the whole family loves these and we've brought them on every road trip, camping adventure, plane ride, and keep these in the diaper bag too… also great to have for healthy fruit for lunches that requires no prep!
1 Pack of Trader Joe’s - Organic Dried Mango Unsulfured & Unsweetened
strawberries are my girls' favorite and these are so handy to have in the cupboard! I use them to add to cereal, top yogurt or oatmeal, and add to baked goods… endless options but makes things fun and tasty (while staying healthy).
Freeze Dried Strawberry Slices - 1oz - Good & Gather™
such a great quick snack that always hits! travels well and doesn't make a mess in the car or on the go!
Organic Sultana Raisins - by Food To Live 2.5 lb
other snacks we only use every so often
the nutritional value / ingredients on these are not completely ideal.. but they are healthier than other options and give my girls a swap for “normal” things the other kids/cousins have, so we use them every so often as a special snack
we don’t have these alllll the time because i have to say no! but my girls could literally eat a whole bag in one sitting if I let them. I love putting them in lunches or bringing a bag on a trip so I have an exciting snack if they get bored and star...
Annies Cheddar Cheese Puffs
only use for a special treat - not a fan of the oils/wax in here but when you need a win - these work! my secret weapon for switching from frustrated to fun attitudes.

fun and healthy treats!
we don't do “goodies” every day, and everyone once in a while we get something full of sugar (because: balance), but for the every day option… here's a list of our go-to's!
my girls LOVE these... all year, but especially in the hot summer months. we had ac go out last summer in the 95+ degree heat (san diego) and these were a life saver to keep my babies cool.
Kids Squeezable Smoothie, Strawberry Beet
every once in a while you just need a brownie! these have higher quality ingredients and nutritional value... so I can feel a little better about what we are putting in our bodies!
