Snack Attack [Healthy Version]

items I live in a rural part of the country that is classified as a "Food Desert" by the USDA. The healthy snack selections are hard to come by and if I can find them, they are ridiculously expensive. I never thought of myself as a snacker until I didn't h...

Drool-Worthy Healthy Snacks [Sweet]
Trying to wrangle your sweet tooth but you're on a roll with your healthy choices? Here are some sweet treats that don't come with a side of regret.
Luna Bars have been in my snack rotation for over 20 years. They taste good, digest well, and make me feel like I'm cheating and eating something a lot less healthy.
Luna Bars
I'm not going to admit how many times these fig bars by Nature's Bakery have been a meal replacement for me in a pinch! I'm partial to the raspberry and peach apricot flavors.
Whole Wheat Fig Bars
To. Die. For. I like that each piece is individually wrapped. That helps slow my consumption rate down long enough for restraint to kick in. :)
UNREAL Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups
If you mix this chocolate protein powder with Good Karma Unsweetened Flaxmilk + Protein you can knock out almost 30g of protein AND it tastes like a tasty chocolate shake!
Om Mushroom Superfood Master Blend Protein
Pace yourself! If you have ever dug into a jar of a nutella with a spoon (or finger!) and had a hard time stopping, this snack is for you!
Justin's Choc Hazelnut & Almond Butter Pack
I'm not sure these classify as “healthy," but they are a health-ier option than a regular ice cream sandwich. These used to be a stable in my house when my kids were little. I haven't been able to find them in Far West Texas and it's too hot to ship ...
Tofutti Vanilla Cuties
Satisfying Snacks [Savory]
I usually love my sweets, but lately, the savory snacks have been calling my name!
These artichokes are so tender and tasty! You will not find any gristle/chewy bits found in a typical can of artichokes. The seasonings are perfecto!
Artichokes With Basil & Thyme
These are addictive! Good luck making a bag last for 7 servings!
Golden Turmeric Wrapped® Cashews - Karma Nuts
First off, this brand gets extra points for their clever name! Secondly, these puffs are seriously addictive. Order the small bags in bulk to help parse out your consumption rate!
Hippeas Chickpea Puffs
I love a few slices of this mozzarella goat cheese when my hunger pangs hit. (Try adding a dollop of Fig Jam if you want to get really fancy!)
Mozzarella Goat Cheese LaClare Creamery
I do not regular, cocktail-style green olives, but these speckled orbs of buttery, tangy delight melt in your mouth. Try not to eat the whole can in one sitting!
LINDSAY Crafted Medium Green Ripe Pitted Olives
Occasionally I can find this popcorn in my neck of the woods, but it's cheaper to buy online in bulk. The hard part is not consuming it in bulk!
