11
items With multiple dancers in our family, we spend a LOT of time at the studio—and dancers are always hungry. 😂 These are the snacks I actually pack for long class days, rehearsals, performances, and those awkward hours when everyone needs to eat but a f...

Aloha Protein Bars: Plant-Based Nutrition Near Me - Walmart.com
I love good marketing, and love when a product lives up to the hype. We have both the strawberry 🍓 and chocolate 🍫 and they are amazing!
Farmer Protein Powder | 24g Protein Per Serving
One of my favorites for long Saturdays at the studio when we need something with a little more staying power. They’re easy to toss in the dance bag, have a good amount of protein, and are great when a bar or something sweet just isn’t sounding good.
Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Sticks, Honey and Jalapeno, 12 Count | 6g of Protein, No Antibiotics, No Hormones, Gluten Free, Soy Free Meat Sticks - Keto Snacks, Weight Watchers Approved
This is one of my easy options when we need more than a snack but don’t necessarily have time for a full meal. Easy to make before we leave or bring along for a long studio day, and an easy way to get some extra protein in.
Protein Powder | Organic Plant-Based Protein
A fun higher-protein option for the days when we’re craving more of a treat. I like having a few snacks like this around because sometimes another protein bar just isn’t going to cut it.
Legendary Foods - Walmart.com
Easy to keep on hand for long rehearsals and busy dance days when we need something with protein that still feels like a treat. They’re especially handy for Mom when I’ve been at the studio for hours and realize I haven’t eaten. 😂

Fruit + Grab-and-Go Snacks
Fruit leather, dried fruit, nut mixes and other easy things that can live in a dance bag.
Such an easy dance-bag snack. They’re individually wrapped, don’t take up much room, and most importantly—they don’t melt! Perfect for keeping in the bag when someone needs something quick between classes.
Fruit Leather - Walmart
Love the convenience and the variety.
Sahale Snacks Glazed Mix Nut Blend Variety Pack, 1.5 Oz Grab & Go Bags (12 Total Packs) - Four Different Dry-Roasted Deluxe Mixed Nuts Blends Included - Non-GMO Kosher & Certified Gluten-Free Snacks
Crunchy + Light Snacks
I always like having a lighter crunchy option in the bag. These are great when someone is hungry but doesn’t want a heavy snack sitting in their stomach right before dancing.
Quaker Rice Crisps, Gluten Free, 4 Flavor Sweet and Savory Variety Mix, Single Serve, 30 count
A great little grab-and-go snack when they want something sweet and crunchy without needing anything too heavy before class. Individually wrapped also means I can throw a few in the bag and forget about them until somebody inevitably says they’re hun...
MadeGood Organic Chocolate Chip Granola Bites, 5ct x 0.85oz
Hydration + Electrolytes
This is conspicuously missing from a long-dance-day list. Your Ultima absolutely belongs here, and then you could add whatever other hydration products you genuinely use.
An easy grab-and-go way to sneak in more fruits and veggies! I love Evolution Fresh juices when I want something refreshing and nutrient-packed without having to pull out the blender or juicer. Perfect for busy days, after a workout, or alongside a q...
