Individually Wrapped Snacks | For School, parties and more! (1)

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.

We’ve all seen the individual packages of cookies, chips and pretzels (which have their place) but I wanted to go beyond that and give you some healthy everyday options for both adults and kids. 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.
