With everyone getting back into their routine, it’s all about on-the-go! Whether you have children in school or just need an on-the-go snack at work, we’ve rounded up 10 healthy back-to-school (or….just….normal career/work madness) snacks to make ahead and take with you!

7. I’m a sweets fanatic, but sometimes you just need something salty! Like chips. But healthy. OH I KNOW! Kale chips…yes! And MinimalistBaker.com has you covered with this Cheesy Kale Chips recipe.

8. Peanut Butter and Honey Cereal Bars, by HealthyFoodForLiving.com! Only 3 ingredients! Super easy and great for kids! Or adults, with a serious cereal eating problem, like Cody and I.

9. Vegetables in a muffin? Oh yes! Thank you, SugarFreeMom.com, for making this happen. Mini Carrot Zucchini Muffins!

10. And last but definitely not least, delicious Plantain Crackers by ThePaleoMom.com! I think these speak for themselves 😉

And this just happens to be a shameless plug for a secret 11th Healthy Back-to-School snack to take on the go. Your kids (or you) will think they’re getting doughnuts, when really they’re getting dates, lots of blueberries, and rolled oats! Here’s to a happy new school year!
