Is there anything kids like more than a snack?
I swear, I must hear, “Mom, can I have a snack?” about a million times a day. Our house if full of fruits, veggies, and other healthier snack options.
If those kids are going to ask me for snacks all day long, they better be snackin’ on good stuff!
When it comes to packing a school snack for my kindergartner, I try to go with something easy that I can throw in the backpack. We do an apple pretty often and a banana that we put in the best thing ever…
a banana keeper!
I’m telling you, if you don’t have one, you’re missing out. I got this at the dollar store, but I also found a banana keeper on Amazon for $2 with free shipping, and this pack of three banana keepers with different colors – I should get these for stocking stuffers. It’s the little – and sometimes weird – things that make my kids happy!
It’s amazing how it helps to keep the banana fresh. Even when we have a half banana, it stays fresh in the fridge in that thing.
Ok, totally off track here…
Besides the apple and banana, and the occasional pear, a lot of fruits and veggies need to be prepped or will take a beating in the backpack of a kindergartner.
So, we’ve been looking for other ideas to keep keep him fueled up for the rest of the day with a snack he loves and I can feel good about. Prepackaged, affordable organic snacks are a total time saver!
Affordable Organic Snacks
Just before I wrote all about our lunches, snacks, and favorite containers (Drink in the Box is the best!!!), I heard about Pure Growth Organic. I happily accepted their offer to try some of their affordable organic snacks to add variety to my kiddos’ snack time.
They have so many products to choose from! It’s impossible for me to choose, so I asked for a surprise.
We received some strawberry biscuit bites, Mickey Mouse shaped chocolate animal crackers, a salty snack mix, and cinnamon brown sugar breakfast bars.
The breakfast bars and biscuit bites are individually packaged and super easy to throw in a bag or the lunch box. My daughter lovs these! She feels like she is getting a special treat.
The snack mix and animal cracker are in larger bags and I send these for my son in his Snack in the Box container. He loves them!
The fact that these are also really affordable is such a bonus!
It’s not easy trying to budget for organic snacks. It’s so important to invest in our kids and be careful about what is going into their bodies…
However, when you can find an organic snack at these prices, it is such a relief!
As of right now, on Amazon, a box of the breakfast bars or biscuit bites are under $3. A few of the others I checked are so popular that they’re sold out at the moment. However, Pure Growth Organic is committed to making sure they have good products that families can afford.
Snacks and lunch ideas are always on our radar. If you’re looking for lunch ideas, check out these ideas for healthy lunches and our favorite containers.
Also, here is a huge list of some of our favorite healthy snacks kids love – including fun ones like yogurt bites and the reason my kiddos request peas on a regular basis!
I’ve gotten so many positive comments on Instagram from others who love Pure Growth Organics? Have you tried them?

They are so great!
I need a banana keeper for myself! Sometimes I only use 1/2 of a banana if I’m making pancakes with it or oatmeal. Adding a whole banana would just be too much. As of now, I’m just not unpeeling the banana all the way and wrapping it up in a bag or plastic wrap. A banana keeper would be much better!
I LOVE that thing! I always used it for myself too and wrapped up 1/2 a banana from a smoothie. It always made it to the next day (or the following) beautifully. They’re great!
I haven’t tried Pure Organics, but these do sound like a great snack for the kiddos!!!

I hadn’t tried them before this either, but they’re great!
I haven’t heard of this brand yet, but they look like great wholesome products for the kiddos. And I totally need one of those banana keepers! I always end up with smushed bananas when I try taking one to go!
The banana keeper is a life saver! My husband takes one in his cooler with his lunch – doesn’t get smooshed by the huge water bottles and doesn’t turn super brown from the cold. Definitely get one!
Not just for kids 😉 I want some too!

haha! I know, me too!
Haha it only gets worse! My teenager is ALWAYS hungry and when she has soccer or is active it’s even worse. I am always stocking up on “the good stuff” for her.
Oh my goodness! I can’t even imagine! They are hungry all the time – I keep thinking about how our grocery bills will be when they’re teenagers.
You guys eat such amazing food! I’m going to have a hard time because I don’t make that much variety. 🙂 Snacks are key!
I’m always in the market for easy healthy snack options. Not just for my kids but for me too! I love snacks. You go off track with that banana keeper but I think I need one!!

Exactly, we could all use some quick and easy options!
The banana keeper is the best! I can’t recommend it enough!
I love healthy organic snack bars for my kids! I haven’t seen these before – thanks for sharing this Kristin! I’ll check them out!
They have a huge variety of snacks – all sorts of things! It’s a great new line to find.
Does the banana keeper just prevent it from getting beat up, like a suit of armor?
haha! It kind of does, but I’ve used it in the fridge when I’ve had 1/2 a banana and I’ve even had it in two days ant the cut end didn’t get all brown and slimy either.
LOL I can’t imagine leaving a 1/2 banana!
haha!! I know! I used to use only half pretty frequently when I made overnight oats
The banana protector is just like genius to me. How didn’t someone come up with this when we were kids?!

I agree! Where has this thing been!???
This looks like great quality products from a great company! You are the mom I want to be when I grow up! LOL I’m glad your kids are liking the products. I hear it’s so hard to get kids back on eating healthy if they didn’t start out this way. You are a great mom for keeping them healthy and feeding them good foods that they will only thank you for later.
Oh, thank you!! That is the best compliment I could receive! They are great kids, and have always had healthy foods. Now that they’re getting older and more exposed to junk food and treats they want them more, but I can still distract them with fruits and veggies – which I’m grateful for!
Organic snacks for kids? Yes! Finally.
