These healthy individually wrapped snacks are kid-friendly options to use for school snacks, classroom and birthday parties and sports team snacks. They’re simple, affordable and can often be purchased in bulk.

Hi friends!

I’m wrapping up my snack series with a post specifically dedicated to individually wrapped snacks. I shared several in my Healthy Amazon Snacks post but wanted to share some available from other stores as well. Single-serving snacks come in handy if you need to provide snacks for a whole classroom at school, for a sports team or party snacks, if you’re not allowed to send reusable containers and more.

Why You’ll Love These Individually Wrapped Snacks

There are lots of options out there for individual packages of cookies, chips and pretzels and I’ve included some of those. I also wanted to go beyond that and give you some healthy everyday options for both adults and kids. These snacks are:

Relatively healthy – I try to choose options that are lower in added sugar and sodium
Budget-friendly – Many can be purchased in bulk to save money since they’re shelf-stable and won’t get stale quickly!
Kid-approved – Most of these are choices my own kids eat and enjoy!

These items would also be great in lunch boxes. If you need more lunch box ideas, check out this resource: A Month of Easy Packed Lunches For Kids.
