HIPPEAS Organic Chickpea Puffs + Vegan White Cheddar, Pack of 12, $20
Think Cheetos, but vegan, gluten-free, organic, and high in both protein and fiber...but just as addictive.
YumEarth Organic Vitamin C Lollipops, $7
Okay, so these aren’t healthy, per se — but they’re certainly a healthier alternative to, say, Blow Pops and with just 5 grams of sugar per pop, they’re a nice way to get a little energy boost without the ensuing crash.
Quinn Microwave Popcorn Organic Popcorn Kernels, "Just Sea Salt," 18 Bags, $30
If you’d rather pop your own popcorn, Quinn makes non-Gmo, organic kernels, and with 18 bags for only $30 - that’s such a "poppin" price!
Larabar Vegan Fruit & Nut Bar, Box of 16, $15
Made with just three good-for-you ingredients: cashews, dates, and bananas. Despite their brief ingredient list, they somehow really do mimic the taste of banana bread with none of the fuss of actually, you know, baking banana bread.
Blue Diamond Almonds Oven Roasted Dark Chocolate Flavored Snack Nuts, Pack of 32, $16
Unlike most chocolate-covered almonds, these are dusted with cocoa powder — not dipped in milk chocolate — making them a lower-sugar, high-protein alternative that’s just as delectable. They taste the tiniest bit like Cocoa Puffs (which is to say they taste perfect)!
Smart Sweets Sweet Fish, Pack of 6, $17
You would literally never guess that these have just 3 grams of sugar (92% less sugar than Swedish fish!) and are only 100 calories for the whole bag. You would also literally never guess they’re as good as the regular thing.
Justin's Classic Peanut Butter Squeeze Packs, Pack of 10, $7
These little squeeze packs can be thrown into your backpack for on-the-go protein, and combined with a banana or apple, they make for a fairly substantial snack that’ll get you through the afternoon. But if you’re desperate, you can also just down it straightt.
Amazon Brand - Happy Belly Mini Twist Pretzels, $6
There’s really no better snack to munch on literally at any time of the day - during any class, sporting event or library sesh - than pretzels. And this jar is only $6!
Happy Belly Almond Butter, $11
A totally college budget-friendly almond-butter option!
