Shopping at Whole Foods can be overwhelming for anyone, especially when searching for healthy snacks on the go. With so many options to choose from, how do you know which snacks are truly healthy for you and your family? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered.

Keeping healthy snacks on hand can curb cravings between meals and provide needed fuel for those warm sunny days. But it’s not enough for them to simply be healthy — they need to be portable as well.

Here are our top 5 Whole Foods on the go snacks to satisfy your appetite and provide quality nutrition.

Original Beef Chomps

1. Chomps Original Beef Chomplings

Here at Chomps, we’re all about making healthy eating the easy choice. Our original beef Chomplings are delicious, provide a good source of protein, and will easily satisfy any salty craving. They’re also completely carb- and sugar-free, making them one of the best low carb snacks on the go.

Chomplings are a miniature version of our original beef jerky, which means they’re even more portable to fit into the smallest purse or fanny pack. This also makes them one of the top on the go snacks for kids to fit into crowded backpacks and sports bags.

Nutrition Facts per serving: 40 calories, 4 grams protein, 0 grams carb, 0 grams sugar, 125 mg sodium, 0 grams fiber

2. RX Bar

These high-quality protein bars are about as natural (and easy!) as you can get. Most protein bars are loaded with added sugar and other additives, while RX Bars are 100% whole-food based.

With only 7 ingredients or less such as fresh dates, cashews, and egg whites, you’re getting all of the nutrition with none of the B.S. (as the company says). Keep a handful in your car for when hunger strikes.

Kale Chips

You may be a kale lover, but it’s not exactly easy to bring fresh kale on the go. These crunchy kale chips are one of the best snacks for on the go if you love kale and want a healthier alternative to potato chips.

These chips are incredibly crunchy and low in calories, which is especially great if you’re a volume eater. They are also uber filling as a result of their protein and fiber content.

And not only are these a convenient snack, but they can also be added to quick and easy weeknight meals like this taco jerky burrito bowl.
