The 13 Healthiest Snack Foods

Katie! Grow up!

You can purchase many of these items at your local Whole Foods Market! For a location near you, visit www.wholefoods.com

i like healthy food show in fruits and in veg. or in snaks.

Do you idiots @ yahoo ever read the comments? Most people think that you are a bunch of stupid idiots. Maybe ... that is because ...

YOU ARE A BUNCH OF STUPID IDIOTS WHO JUST PIMPP AND WWHORE FOR CORPORATE AMERICA!

I am not aganist healthy snacks or organic (since organic can taste even better then processed) but this stuff looks horrible.

The whole point of this piece is that we don't always have fresh fruit available, sometimes because of storage issues and maybe we want a little change now and then. You know the old saying "variety is the spice of life".

While I agree that fresh fruits and veggies are, for the most part, the most healthy... if you actually looked at the sentence above all the pictures it says the article is about, "These tasty, nutritious Packaged Bites will wean you off the vending machine". All of these items seem to be meant as healthy options to common packaged snacks.

I don't know about the other products, but I live in Vermont and I swear by the Vermont Smoke and Cure sticks. They are about 90 calories each and pack some good protein. I take a handful on my 60+ mile bike rides and they do the trick. (You can get them shipped to you and they cost about as much as a slim jim.)

organic double bacon chili cheese burger with extra onions, organic fries ,and an organic 40oz beer in an organic frosted mug..while watching the organic football game, on my 50 inch plasma organic TV ..then in about an hour let out some greenhouse gasses that will would knock an endangered buzzard off a sh!t wagon..

Sadie: I've seen the Just Apples, Annies, and Kale snacks at our Whole Foods for quite a while. I haven't paid attention to the others. A lot of times I can find the items on amazon.com and they have free shipping with orders over $25.

But I agree with several people. They aren't all the healthiest snacks, just healthier version of the regular snacks. Kale chips vs. regular chips. Just Apples is healthier than those fried veggies/fruits that I see in the bulk section of grocery stores. Annies is organic. And they are way more expensive than my favorite snacks - apples, pears, carrots, lettuce wraps, spring rolls, etc.

However, if the author had said healthy *packaged* snacks, I think it would not be as misleading. These snacks definitely are handier, healthier, and keep in the pantry for longer. They are expensive though!

Why is the healthiest stuff always newer fringe items, never normal everyday items that have been around forever. How did the healthy people of yesteryear ever survive?

squid jerky - tastes better than it sounds

I prefer a bag of dirt & twigs over a bag od dried seaweed. How about an apple or an orange for a healthy snack

I have never seen any of these products!!!

More treats for gluttons for punishment!

I love eating seaweed like chips. Most Walmarts carry nori wrappers now, and these are tasty and pretty cheap. If you have an Asian market near, you can find roasted seaweed which has a crispier texture. Some brands come in snack packs, and they are delicious.

Why not just eat grass?

The Danielle Chips are gluten free and a great snack. The Coconut Chips are awesome!
They are real popular at http://www.glutensolutions.com, where you can find your favorite and best tasting gluten free foods.
