School has begun and my schedule has been non-stop! Being on the go all the time it can be easy to just go and buy something when you get hungry. But that can get expensive and it can be hard to find healthy options. With such a busy schedule I always find it important to have snacks at all times because you never know when you'll get hungry. And I'm ALWAYS hungry. For the most part I try my best to keep the snacks that I have on hand healthy! In this post I'm going to share my favorite go to snacks that I like to keep with me for times in need.

1. KIND Bars

I love KIND bars. They are super easy to just throw in your bag when you are in a rush or a quick and easy breakfast if your not much of a breakfast person.

2. Protein Bars

I love taking along protein bars because their a good snack if your going to the gym after class or a post-workout snack. The two protein bars I tried are the VEGA chocolate caramel bar and the Go Macro banana and almond butter bar.

3. GFB Bites

I love these for when I'm having a sweet or chocolate craving. These Gluten Free Bites are packed with protein and taste so good! And satisfy my sweet tooth. They also are super easy to throw in my purse when I'm on the go.

4. Fruit and Nut Mix

This is my all time favorite snack! I could literally eat the whole jar in one sitting. This snack is kind of like a trail mix but you can make it your own! You can add any type of nuts or dried fruit that you want. I use to make this with just dried cranberries and almonds but I recently added coconut chips to it to add a little more sweetness. And I'm in love!

5. Boom Chicka Pop Popcorn

This popcorn is BOMB! And you don't have to feel guilty about eating too much of it and you know I do. It is only 60 calories per cup and it is completely gluten free! If your a popcorn lover like me this is the popcorn for you! This brand also has a bunch of different flavors from savory to sweet.
