10 Grab and Go Quick Snacks
Part of being a millennial means I’m part foodie. Being a part foodie means I love to snack on everything from gourmet bites to grab-and-go quick snacks. However, the most important snacks for me are the grab-and-go ones. These quick snacks are a lifesaver when I am on the go, which seems to be most of the time.
Some of the quick snacks are healthy, and others just cure my sweet tooth, but all of them are delicious. Having easy, grab and go quick snacks on hand will help curb your hunger and live a healthy lifestyle. The question is, which is right for you?
Not everyone loves the same snacks, and some people may not be able to enjoy your favorites at all. Cashews are fantastic snacks that you can take with you just about anywhere.
However, not everyone can enjoy cashews. But you can find other snacks that are delicious, healthy, and quick.
10 Grab and Go Quick Snacks
Popcorn
When I go to Disneyland, there are two treats I have to get before the day is over: a churro (or 3) and popcorn. When I go to the movies, popcorn is a must; no need to ask if I want any.
Then I found the Boom Chicka Pop pre-popped popcorn, and I had to try it, and I’m glad I did. You can get a variety of flavors, and you will enjoy every last one of them.
Apple Chips
One of the reasons I love churros is the cinnamon. What goes well with cinnamon? Apples do; apples go well with cinnamon. Bare makes some of the best cinnamon apple chips I’ve ever eaten.
The best part of all is they’re 100 percent natural, and there is no added sugar or preservatives. Look, Mom, I’m eating healthy!
Cheese
When I visit my sister, she usually has a small stock of these for her kids, and I steal some of them every time. Horizon Organic mozzarella cheese sticks make me feel good when eating them.
These cheese sticks are organic and delicious and are really easy to grab and eat as I walk to my car.
Biscuits
You can call them cookies or chips, but Belvita calls them biscuits, breakfast biscuits to be exact. Whenever I need to run out in the morning and have no time for my usual hearty breakfast, I grab a bag of Belvita.
The biscuits are delicious and have a mixture of sweetness and grains to give you energy. These are some healthy quick snacks.
Chickpeas
If you have Biena Roasted Chickpeas, then you are enjoying award-winning snacks. You can get a few different flavors and will find the protein and fiber content to be perfect.
Chickpeas are fast becoming the healthy alternative to peanuts, but I will never give up my cashews. Instead, I’ll just enjoy both.
Nuts
My favorite quick snacks are cashews; I love cashews. I even love cashews when a health-conscious company like Sahale Snacks produces them. Sahale Snacks is a Seattle-based company that has become known for its focus on health and organic snacks.
Pro tip: get the variety pack with dried fruit options and find your favorites along the way!
Graham Sticks
We all remember eating graham crackers as children, and while they’re still around and delicious, they’re not very convenient. Thankfully, Back to Nature has turned the graham crackers into graham sticks, and they’re perfect.
If you’re feeling really frisky, you can get some of those travel packs of Nutella and dip your graham sticks to make a really sweet snack.
Snack Mix
I really like snack mixes, and there’s another one coming up that is awesome. However, right now, let’s talk about Cheez-It snack mix. I get some trail mixes, and I pick out the things I don’t like.
I don’t do that with Cheez-It Snack Mix. It’s perfect, just the way it is, and no customizations are needed.
Muddy Buddies
As a kid, I liked to make my own snacks, and one of them was called puppy chow. Puppy chow was a recipe on the side of Chex cereal boxes. I would make it by warming up peanut butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl.
Once warm enough, stir the mixture with Chex Mix cereal. Then, pour the cereal into a plastic bag and add powdered sugar. Close up the bag so it has plenty of air, and then shake it like there’s no tomorrow.
Now, you don’t have to do any of that; just buy the Muddy Buddies pre-made.
Coconuts
Not everyone loves coconuts, but I sure do! I recommend you try these chips. Creative Snacks is the company behind these salty and sweet coconut chips, and they’ll make you rethink the coconut in general.
