The Best Trader Joe’s Healthy Snacks for Kids: Delicious and Easy to Pack

The packaging pretty much sums up this sweet, slightly tart, delicious snack — it’s Just Mango Slices!

Skip the mango peeling and stickiness, and pack a few of these no added sugar golden slices into your kid’s lunches — a win-win for both parents and children! FYI, these snacks are definitely a top-seller at any NYC TJ’s you walk into, so make sure you snag a few and stock up!

You can say that these Kind® bars are a one-of-a-kind! Pick up a 10-pack box of miniature Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt and Caramel Almond & Sea Salt bars that are soft-textured and chewy — YUM! These 100-calorie, bite-size bars are perfect for a quick bite in between classes and to hand out at those soccer games for a fast refuel.

A classic snack with a modern twist, these Orangic Applesauce Crushers bring something new to the table when it comes to apple sauce. Far from the conventional, these Apple Sauces are loaded with five fruity flavors: Apple, Apple Strawberry, Apple Banana, Apple Mango, and Apple Carrot (TJ’s snuck some veggies in). The best part is that they are all from fruit and vegetable purees, and without any synthetically derived colors, or artificial flavors or preservatives. These are ideal for lunch boxes and can be kept in the pantry, no refrigeration required!
