Funky Monkey Snacks
PER SERVING (1 single-serving package, 1 oz.): 90 - 120 calories, 0 - 1g fat, 0 - 35mg sodium, 23 - 27g carbs, 2 - 3g fiber, 19 - 22g sugars, 0 - 1g protein
What Are They? Freeze-dried fruit bits in fun flavors like Pink Pineapple and JiveALime.
Why We Love 'Em… We're suckers for all things cute; not to mention we love our fruit crunchy and bite-sized. The best part? You don't have to worry about these fruity snacks going bad or getting squished in your bag. Score!
Mishima All Natural Edamame Soup, Soybean and Potato
PER SERVING (1 packet, approx. 2/3 of a cup prepared): 50 calories, 1g fat, 320mg sodium, 7g carbs, 0g fiber, 5g sugars, 3g protein
What Is It? Just-add-water soup from a packet, with only 50 calories per serving, that can easily be stored in your desk at work.

Luna Protein Bars

What Are They? All-natural, nougat-y treats that are packed with protein (12 grams each!) and full of fudgy goodness.
Why We Love 'Em… It takes a pretty good protein bar to impress us, and Luna has done it with these bars. They taste really good -- especially that choc-PB one! -- and we appreciate the fact that they come in under 200 calories each. Plus, the combo of protein and fiber helps keep you feeling full.
Blue Diamond Almonds 100-Calorie Packs
PER SERVING (1 pack): 100 calories, 8 - 9g fat, 0 - 80mg sodium, 3 - 5g carbs, 2g fiber, 1 - 3g sugars, 3 - 4g protein

Why We Love 'Em… Like your nuts spicy? Go for the Bold Wasabi & Soy Sauce. Have a chocolate craving? The Dark Chocolate should do the trick. Watching your sodium intake? Get the unsalted Whole Natural or the Lightly Salted Low Sodium. In a nutshell, we're nutty about all these options! (Okay, we'll stop with the puns...)

Why We Love It… When we have a craving for something sweet and salty, we turn to the Caramel Apple and Kettle Corn flavors. If it's just salty we want, Butter Flavor is always a great choice. And look at all that fiber... YEE-HAAA!

What Are They? Assorted veggies -- like carrots, celery, and stringless sugar snap peas -- with light ranch dip in compartmentalized, easy-to-carry packs.
Why We Love 'Em… These are an easy way to get CRUNCHY good-for-you stuff into your day. (No need to cut up your own veggies!) And most varieties have between 60 and 70 calories per serving. (The pack that comes with raisins has 150 calories per serving.) Not bad!
