26 Healthy Kid Snacks They’ll Love Munching on — All From Trader Joe’s

Lauren Breedlove

When the kids pile in through the door home from school with rumbling tummies and you're not quite prepared for them and their friends, it's best to have snacks on hand to keep them full and happy. While giving them fresh fruit to nibble on is always much appreciated, it's not the type of thing you can always stock up on (fruit goes bad!). Lucky you, Trader Joe's has tons of healthy snacks that are kid-friendly, easy to put together, and perfect for the pantry or fridge. Regardless of how adventurous their palettes are, here's what's at TJ.
