10 healthy, on-the-go snacks for busy moms, according to a dietitian

The Only Bean edamame beans are crunchy, satisfying, and bound to keep you full and satisfied between school pick-up and playdates. Each serving has five grams of fiber and 13 to 14 grams of protein. With flavors like ranch, sriracha, wasabi, buffalo and sea salt, there’s a taste for any mood and plenty of heat to keep your little one from stealing your snack.

If you love white cheddar popcorn and Cheetos, meet their healthier cousin, Hippeas. These puffs are loaded with white cheddar flavor and have a crunchy but melt-in-your-mouth texture. You can feel good about eating them, too, as each serving has three grams of fiber and four grams of protein, helping them keep you full while satisfying your crunchy chip cravings.

IQBARs are perfect for slipping in your purse or diaper bag for a quick pick-me-up when you need it. Each bar has 12 grams of plant-based protein and eight grams of fiber to keep you full and satisfied. There are no added sugars and each serving has brain-supporting nutrients like vitamin E, choline, Lion’s Mane and omega-3 fatty acids.

For high-protein healthy on the go snacks, toss a packet of Justin’s Peanut Butter into your bag along with some fruit like a banana or an apple. These packets make it easy to carry peanut butter (also available in almond butter) with you, no knife or spoon is required.

When you need an afternoon pick-me-up, reaching for a coffee drink could actually leave you feeling zapped, especially if it’s high in sugar. Instead, snack on a Verb protein bar that has 10 grams of protein, three grams of fiber, and 80 milligrams of caffeine to power you through the afternoon slump. Plus, you can even order from their website with a subscribe and save option to save yourself precious time and money!

With just figs and 2 billion CFUs of probiotics, there’s no question that everything in this bar is good for you and your gut. The figs, and the four grams of fiber that come with them, act as prebiotics in your digestive tract, feeding the good gut bacteria.

We don’t always have time to blend a protein shake or smoothie together, which is exactly where these Orgain pre-made shakes come in. Whether you’re on your way home from a workout class or taking the dog for a walk, these shakes are smooth, creamy and have 16 grams of protein to help fuel for or recover from any workout. There’s no need to refrigerate them, so just toss one in your bag or car for a protein boost when you need it.

Squeeze pouches aren’t just for your kids! Keep a stash of these Mamma Chia Prebiotic squeeze pouches in your car or bag for a sweet boost of prebiotic fiber any time of day. Each pouch has six grams of fiber for a happy gut as 1,200 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acids to support a healthy heart and brain.

Another crunchy snack that is sure to leave you satisfied and full, Harvest Snaps have four grams of fiber per serving and five grams of protein. Since they’re just peas, oil, rice and salt, you could even count them as a serving of veggies!

For a savory snack that doesn’t need a refrigerator, beef sticks can help fill you up and satisfy a meaty, umami craving, no matter where it strikes. I love that these beef sticks have just 12% of the daily value for sodium and have six grams of protein per stick with no added sugars or artificial preservatives.
