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.

Citrus chipotle chickpeas for my gluten / egg / dairy / peanut intolerant loved one.
the banana bread granola sounds good…actually, all the granola sounds good.
However, there is something to note — as a mother with a child who is allergic to nuts, i notice that majority of the snacks would be unsuitable.That's pretty much the challenge i have — seems like most "healthy" snacks have some sort of nut in them.
Blueberry almonds bites sound so yummy to my tummy
Oooh, I would love to try Cranberry Macaroon Granola…we love anything with cranberries!
Ooh, baked sweet potato fries sound excellent to me, and my husband would love the peppery pistachios (he's a nut for nuts ^_^).
