In today's fast-paced world, finding healthy and convenient snacks can be a challenge. I was thrilled to work with them because I love their product.Healthy Non-perishable Snacks: Top Choices for On-the-Go Nutrition **This post was sponsored by Nick’s Sticks. Next time you’re on the go, choose one of the delicious snacks above! There are goji, almond, and sprouted buckwheat balls, no-bake cookies, grain-free “oatmeal” raisin cookies, molasses cookies, oatmeal chocolate chip, or gluten-free lemon cranberry cookies. There are a lot of cookies that you can make that are actually pretty healthy. What’s not to love about popcorn? Make your own healthy popcorn with coconut oil, and try these 11 different flavoring combinations. Try this sticky trail mix, sweet and salty trail mix, or create your own! Make your own mix of nuts, dried fruit, or whatever else you like in trail mix! Some people prefer the mix, and you can even add coconut shavings and other sweet or ‘unusual’ but nourishing ingredients. There are also maple nut granola bars, and peanut butter chocolate chip granola bars. Depends on what you prefer! Try this granola recipe, or this simple soaked version, or granola bars. Granola bars might be a little easier to manage. It’s not perishable, and can be eaten alone (try snack cups for the kids) or with yogurt. While granola can be a little messy, it can also be a great snack. Make your own! There’s coconut, banana, and PB&J versions, chocolate date balls, or you can create your own! (They’re mostly pureed dates, sometimes raisins, with nuts and other flavorings.) They’ll last for months so you can leave them in the car for last-minute “I need something to eat!” times. They don’t contain MSG, or nitrates or any of that junk that most commercial meat sticks or jerky do. They’re seasoned with Real Salt, so they are 100% awesome and nourishing (and delicious). We bought some while we were there, and had to share them with the kids when we got back - darn! 🙂 They loved them too and begged for more. They’re Nick’s Sticks, and they’re made with pastured beef or turkey. When I was in Utah, I was introduced to these delicious jerky-like meat sticks. Pair with nut butter, cheese, sliced meat, or just eat them plain. Make your own! 4) CrackersĬrackers are a great snack. Nut butters are high in protein and great for a quick snack, or made into a sandwich for a meal. Grab an apple or some carrot or celery sticks to dip, or some crackers (see the next point).
Nut butters are a great way to eat nuts that almost anyone likes, and that the younger set can enjoy too. Eat them plain, or flavor them with cinnamon sugar, chili, and lime, or whatever spices you like! I like walnuts a lot, but you can do this to any nut. Make your own crispy nuts (the “crispy” part makes them more digestible). Any form of dried fruit is great! 2) Crispy nuts
We like to puree fruit and make our own fruit leather. There are freeze-dried versions available. You can buy raisins or prunes, or dried cherries or blueberries (whole fruits). There are so many delicious ways to eat dried fruit. I need to take my own advice and start keeping these on hand more often… Others can actually be kept for weeks or months in the car or wherever you want. Some of these are “non-perishable snacks” in that they don’t need to be refrigerated and will last several days. That said, there are several snacks you can take with you. I don’t like taking messy snacks with us, and sometimes, I even stay home when I’d prefer to go out because thinking of something to prepare to eat is just so annoying. What about snacks that can be left in the car for days or weeks? Stuff you can always have with you? That’s the dream.
The elusive non-perishable snacks (that’s easy to take with you and non-messy)… Everyone wants to know, right? It’s simple to say “yogurt” or “leftovers” but those aren’t exactly non-perishable.
