Back-to-school season is here, and having convenient snacks on hand can make busy mornings, lunch packing and after-school activities a little easier. I’m on CBS Washington, D.C. with four delicious options to help families refresh their snack routine, starting with one for crunchy-snack lovers.
A snack for crunchy lovers
Catalina Crunch Snack Mix combines the brand’s signature protein cereal, crunchy protein pretzels, nuts and more—all tossed in a savory seasoning blend for a satisfying balance of texture, flavor, protein and fiber.
The snack packs are convenient for lunchboxes, backpacks and after-school activities, while the full-size bags are perfect for stocking the pantry.
Available in Cheddar, Honey Mustard, Creamy Ranch, Spicy Kick and Traditional, there’s a flavor for every kind of craving.
You can find Catalina Crunch Snack Mix at CVS, Target, Giant and more.
Make Fruit More Convenient
Next, help meet the recommended two servings of fruit per day with Crispy Fruit by Crispy Green.
Made with 100% pure fruit and nothing else, Crispy Fruit contains no added sugar or preservatives—just the naturally sweet flavor and satisfying crunch kids love.
Available in seven delicious varieties and convenient four-packs, these snacks are portable, mess-free and easy to tuck into lunchboxes or backpacks.
You can find Crispy Fruit by Crispy Green at Giant, Safeway, Whole Foods, Harris Teeter and Amazon.
Satisfy Savory Snack Cravings
Next, satisfy those savory snack cravings with Frankie’s Organic Puffcorn.
Made with organic ingredients, including avocado oil, cornmeal and seasonings, Frankie’s Puffcorn is oven-baked rather than fried. It delivers the nostalgic, melt-in-your-mouth experience of traditional puffed snacks with a light, airy crunch in every bite.
Frankie’s products are USDA Organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, Certified Gluten-Free and kosher.
You can find crave-worthy flavors—including White Cheddar, BBQ, Dill Pickle and Hot Honey—at Target, Amazon and Thrive Market.
Snack with a Purpose
Finally, snack with a purpose and help fight food waste with Uglies Kettle Chips.
Uglies transforms cosmetically imperfect potatoes that might otherwise go to waste into delicious, small-batch kettle chips. In doing so, the brand helps support farmers, reduce food waste and give back to charity.
In fact, Uglies has saved more than 38 million pounds of imperfect potatoes. They are the only Upcycled Certified potato chips and are available in nine sweet potato and white potato flavors.
You can find Uglies Kettle Chips locally at Whole Foods, Giant and MOM’s Organic Market.
