We’re a snack house. I honestly don’t love to cook every day - I love being able to piece things together. I am also a mom to three kiddos and I want them to feel like they have access to food whenever, but also in moderation. We have some dietary re...

Fructose Free
We swapped goldfish for bunnies right away and found that our kids prefer them! My fructose free kiddo is not a savory cracker lover, but my oldest is!
Did you know a bunch of pretzels have high fructose corn syrup in them? I honestly didn’t. I’ve started looking at nutrition information with most new purchases and have been so absolutely surprised by how much stuff has it.
Snyder's of Hanover Pretzel Sticks Family Size - 16oz
Fan favorite in our house. I always forget how much I like puffcorn until it’s in our cupboards. It rarely lasts more than a day or so between the five of us.
Old Dutch Cheesy Puffcorn - 7oz
My tiny fructose free queen requested popsicles for her last birthday. Turns out she’s not a fan of popsicles (?), but she was super happy to bring them!
JonnyPops Organic Frozen Rainbow Fruit Stacks Water Pop - 14.8oz/8ct
My oldest went to camp this summer and isn’t a huge breakfast gal. These were great for in the car. I also ended up liking them and had a stash in my desk for snacks.
CLIF ZBAR and ZBAR PROTEIN Chocolate Chip, Iced Oatmeal Cookie, Cookies and Crème Granola Bar Variety Pack Made with Organic Oats - 19.05oz/15pk
My kids only eat the strawberry flavor of these, but they do really like them. I don’t live the various syrups, but my kids have them once in a while.
Nature's Bakery Strawberry Crumble Bar - 8.46oz/6ct
Anytime Treats
We call these cheese bricks in our house. I like them with cheese and crackers. My sweet little cheese queen likes them plain.
Tillamook Medium Cheddar Cheese Snack Portions - 7.5oz/10ct
We call these tiny cheeses in our home and they’re a freaking hit. I have been known to buy them once in a while to add to pasta salads when I’m feeling less than motivated to chunk my own cheese. My middlest is probably about 30% cheese and a HUGE f...
Mild Cheddar Cheese Cubes - 8oz - Good & Gather™
Applesauce pouches are pretty regularly restocked in our home. Our kids can have these - within reason - kind of whenever. They’re quick, easy, and they each will have both flavors. Although our oldest went on a cinnamon strike for a bit.
GoGo SqueeZ Applesauce and Fruit Puree Variety Pack Apple & Cinnamon Pouches - 64oz/20ct
These are also a hit - probably one of the top favorites indoor our oldest two. They freak me out a little because they’re shelf stable and that seems wild to me. They pretty much love al yogurt though!
I just recently tried them and they’re not my favorite, but hear me out: they’re plain. Turns out I really like them as a pair for blueberry goat cheese which is my absolute favorite.
Sea Salt Pita Chips - 8oz - Good & Gather™
I genuinely forget how much I like veggie straws all the time. I like them, my kids like them, our dogs like anything edible or not, even my husband - who is incredibly selective - will eat them.
These would fall so firmly into the anytime treat category for my kids if they would fricken eat them. They will not. However, I do love them and took the giant bag I purchased - without knowing if the kids liked them - to my office.
That's It. Mango Blueberry Mini Fruit Bars - 10ct/7oz
Fun Fuel
Big fan of these personally - my kids haven’t actually tried them, but I love them! I think they’re such a nice evening treat - honestly I take a few on my way down to our room and have them as a late night snack.
Tru Fru White and Milk Chocolate Frozen Strawberries - 8oz
These are a guilty pleasure. When I was pregnant with my middlest all I wanted were these cups and pasta with tomato based sauce.
Lay's Barbecue Flavored Potato Chips - 7.75oz
These are in fact filled with fructose and syrups my middlest cannot have. I, however, am a slut for a good Rice Krispie treat.
Rice Krispies Treats Halloween Mini Marshmallow Squares - 23.2oz/60ct
I am a sucker for marketing and I love tiny things. I just do. So these were a fun treat in our house. I don’t buy them often because honestly they’re kind of expensive for what you get, but they’re fun.
Doritos Minis Cool Ranch Tortilla Chips - 5.1oz
I could eat these until my mouth caught on fire. I fell in love with them in high school and remember everyone in a while how much I like them. I feel like I’m breathing fire after a while and they cut up my mouth as most crunchy treats do, but I lov...
Doritos Spicy Sweet Chili Tortilla Chips - 9.5oz
What can I say, I’m a Midwest gal. I don’t think I have ever used this for its “intended purpose” which in my mind is probably for mashed potatoes or something along those lines. I pretty exclusively use it as a dip for my potatoes chips. It’s incred...
Mid-America Farms Family Size Top The Tater Chive Onion Sour Cream Dip - 24oz
