Figuring out ways to eat healthily and creatively each meal is only half of the battle. Once your meals are as nutritious and tasty as they can get, it may still be difficult to actually remain healthy. When it comes to snacking, so many things can hinder progress: too much sugar, too much sodium, little to no nutritional value. But at these places, offering a variety of healthy snacks (with the occasional treat here and there) puts the ease into eating between meals.
Thrive Market
This online shop offers major discounts on all sorts of name-brand healthy snacks, vitamins, and beauty products with a membership – $60 for one year, which helps sponsor free memberships for low income users. With free shipping on orders over $50, low prices on generally expensive foods, and only healthier and more natural options, Thrive Market is a good investment for those serious about snacking and avoiding store crowds.
Trader Joe’s
A cheaper and more homey option, Trader Joe’s is a definite favorite. Providing mostly store-brand products at generally low prices, TJ’s has a wide variety of interesting snacks, like Thai Chili Lime Cashews and Churro Bites, catering to more health-conscious folks and sweet tooths alike. Their Fearless Flyers also highlight popular products and seasonal goods accompanied by a curated shopping list if you like to be prepared before buying some snacks.
Sprouts
This U.S. chain does offer its fair share of packaged snacks, but its bulk foods section is really where it shines. Sometimes, creating your own healthy snacks is the best option, and with a full selection of nuts, grains, dried fruits, etc., Sprouts has you covered. Even some of the hand-packed snacks they sell (in the clear plastic containers with printed labels) are good options if you’re not sure how much to scoop.
