These are some of our favorite healthy snacks to have on hand when we need something quick!
Before actually becoming a mom, I had a lot of ideas about what kind of mom I was going to be. Some of those things have remained… but many have changed as I have experienced the reality of daily parenting.
One of the things I’ve come to terms with is that there will be some processed foods involved. Thankfully there are some really great companies out there making foods that are easy, but still provide peace of mind with their healthy ingredients.
Amara Smoothie Melts:
My little one goes absolutely bananas for these. They are the thing I keep on hand for doctor visits, long car rides, etc. because I know that pulling them out will inevitably result in at least a few more minutes of happiness.
Find them here on Amazon.
Serenity Kids Puffs + Pouches:
Serenity Kids puffs are a big win because they are grain-free, organic, free from sugar and they contain healthy fats from olive oil. A couple of the flavors even contain bone broth! There are my go-to for when I need a few more minutes to get dinner plated, for transition time between activities, etc. They are a consistent staple in our house!
Serenity Kids pouches are my kiddo’s absolute favorite, and they come in a huge range. Featuring ingredients like Kabocha squash, ginger, bison, turmeric, etc. these pouches pack a flavor punch that is amazing for expanding your little one’s palate. I know meat in a pouch might sound weird… but trust me, they are amazing. They help keep kiddos full much longer than most snacks. When my little one was going through growth spurts we would be waking up a ton throughout the night. I started using the meat pouches for some extra protein and calories right before bed. Works like a charm!
Find the puffs here on Amazon or here directly through the Serenity Kids website.

Cerebelly Bars + Pouches:
Cerebelly is a really cool company founded by a practicing neurosurgeon, Teresa Purzner. When Teresa became a mother she realized that the baby foods available on the market were seriously lacking in the nutrients needed to support baby and toddler’s rapidly growing brains. So she teamed up with a group of pediatricians, nutritionists and food scientists. Together they developed a line of organic, farm fresh baby food containing 16 essential nutrients. Cerebelly snacks support healthy neurological and physical development in kids.
Cerebelly, like Serenity Kids, has a great range of flavors which I have appreciated for the opportunity to expose my little one to new things. I keep the bars in my purse and in the car at all times for snacking emergencies.
You can find the bars here on Amazon or here on the Cerebelly website.
You can find the pouches here on Amazon or here on the Cerebelly website.
