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.

Ooo the peanut butter nom noms sound divine!
I can only choose one?! Impossible. I'll start with the South Pacific Plantains, then move to the peanut butter nom noms, baked sweet potato fries and garden tomato crunchies.
Yellow curry peas FTW! Love that you recycle the nature box in the pantry!
Lemon pucker pistachios !!
Yogurt dipped pretzels are always a favorite at our house!

Sorry to be negative, but this is SO unnecessarily wasteful. When the kids are home they can get themselves a snack and eat it from a real plate or bowl. All those unnecessary plastic bags! It's a lovely idea in theory but so so so not green.
Love the trail mixes
I love dried fruit, so pretty much everything on that page looks awesome!
I know the dark cocoa almonds would be a hit at our house, but everything sounds good!
Love this! The Dark Cocoa Almonds look delish.
ohhh the chipotle maple almonds or the garlic pumpkin seeds sounds delish!!!
I am intrigued by the southern bbq sunflower kernels!
Thanks!
Oh my….decisions, decisions….I guess my first pick would be the sunshine chips although I don't think you can go wrong with any of the choices.
