In an effort to help me and my kids eat more healthy foods during the day, I carved out space for a snack pantry area in our mudroom. Let me tell you – it has been revolutionary!!
It has made packing for lunches so easy, and when the kids come home from school, they just grab something from the bins (thus avoiding any “mo-ommmm, I’m hunnnggggrrryyyy” whining). And I love that the shelves are near the back door, so it’s easy for me to grab a little snack for myself before I hit the road (thus avoiding any potential to get hangry and the temptation for fast food).
It’s been working so well! I usually keep fresh fruit like apples and bananas in there and I’ve also recently been using NatureBox to keep my snack pantry stocked with lots of healthy options.

mmm…the yellow curry peas!
This is a great idea. I do something similar at work to avoid vending machines and it works really well. Why I didn't think to do the same thing in my own pantry, I don't know!
I've been dying to try the Honey Crunch Crisps.
Wow, there is a lot to choose from. The dried peaches jumped out at me first.
Citrus Chipotle Chickpeas sound delicious!
