1 Quinn Maple Popcorn
"I love Quinn's maple popcorn, especially if I need a 'dessert' after dinner. But the company just came out with a prepopped kale bag that I'm dying to try."

2 Chobani Flips
"I love that this healthy snack is available at truck stops and Wawa on the East Coast. When I was driving home from the Delaware beaches, this was the only thing I could find that I knew wouldn't hurt my stomach."
Chobani Bluberry Power Flip ($20 for 12 flips)
— Susi May, fitness director
3 Kind's Caramel Almond and Sea Salt Bar
"I don't have a huge sweet tooth, so Kind's Caramel Almond and Sea Salt Bar offers the perfect balance of salty and sweetness for my taste. With six grams of protein and only five grams of sugar, it's a bar that satisfies and fills me up for a sweet afternoon snack, but I don't have to worry about crashing from too much sugar a few hours later."

4 Krave Chili Lime Jerky
"I eat the whole bag in one sitting. I can't help it. My mouth is en fuego, but my body gets all the protein and sugars it needs after a hard gym session."
Krave Chili Lime Jerky ($9 per bag)
— Anna Monette Roberts, assistant food editor
5 NatureBox Pineapple Rings
"So much flavor! They are on the chewy side, but they taste and smell so fabulous, you'll think you are in Hawaii. Definitely cures the sweet tooth!"

7 Seapoint Farms Energy Mix
"I found this snack at Costco and fell in love with it . . . I put it in my salad or eat by the handful. It's sweet and salty, and my kids like it too!"

9 Annie's Bunny Graham Friends
"Adorable mini bunnies that come in chocolate, graham, and chocolate chip flavors. They are crunchy and sweet and pair perfectly with a handful of almonds and dark chocolate chips — yum."

— Aemilia Madden, editorial assistant
10 TJ's Roasted Coconut Chips
"Salty-sweet and provides a satisfying crunch. Good for mixing into other healthy treats, like yogurt or oatmeal, but I prefer to eat them straight up."
Trader Joe's Roasted Coconut Chips (find a store near you)
— Emily Orofino, editorial beauty assistant
11 TJ's Crunchy Curls
"They have that crunch of chips you crave but deliver a serious serving of protein due to their secret ingredient — lentils! Careful, I can easily eat the whole bag in one or two sittings."

— Emily Orofino, editorial beauty assistant
12 Stonyfield Petite Crème
"It has the health benefits of Greek yogurt but tastes more like rich, creamy dessert. Definitely something to snack on when the postdinner sweet tooth hits."

— Leah Rocketto, assistant moms editor
13 Kashi Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies
"Sort of a hybrid between a granola bar (thanks to the oats) and a real cookie (the dark chocolate is yummy!). It's my guilt-free, after-dinner sweet treat!"
Kashi Oatmeal Dark Chocolate Cookies ($12 for pack of three)
— Lauren Levinson, beauty director
14 Newman's Own High Protein Pretzels
"So great for dipping into hummus or on their own! I like the bit of protein with my carbs."
Newman's Own High Protein Pretzels ($35 for pack of 12)
— Susi May, fitness director
15 TJ's Wasabi Almonds
"A bit more interesting than raw almonds, these are a go-to household snack that pack a protein punch. They're also perfect served alongside a cold (light!) beer."
Trader Joe's Wasabi Almonds ($26 for pack of two)
— Grace Hitchcock, audience development associate
16 Matt's Munchies Fruit Snacks
"I love chewy candies but obviously can't eat those every day. This fruit leather has the same texture of a Gummy Worm, but it's made from real fruit so it's way healthier. The apple flavor is only 35 calories per pack!"
Matt's Munchies Fruit Snacks ($25 for 12 packs)
— Leah Rocketto, assistant moms editor
17 TJ's Just Mango Slices
"This satisfies that craving for something chewy and sweet; I could easily polish off an entire bag."
