5 Grab And Go Snacks We Love #FiberOne #FiberUp

August 24, 2016 in Food

This post has been sponsored by Acorn Influence. All opinions are my own.

This summer has been a whirlwind and now with school right around the corner, our upcoming school year is going to be just as busy.

I have a Freshman in high school now, a fourth grader and a first grader and with different activities lined up for this fall, I have to have some sort of plan of attack for after school snacks.

I prefer to have a few items that they can get some decent nutritional value from as well. Moms, you know what I’m talking about!

And after discovering that my kiddos love Fiber One bars, I include those in our famous snack basket as well. What is funny is my youngest has a hard time remembering the name of bars, so she calls them quite appropriately, “num num” bars.

With 25% less sugar than before, you can count on Fiber One Lemon Bars and Oats & Chocolate bars to be your guilt-free, go-to snack! By stocking up on these delicious snack options at Costco, you can be sure to always have your favorite snack on hand.

Top items you can find in our snack basket for our grab on-the-go snacks:

1. apples
2. bananas
3. Fiber One bars (aka num num bars)
4. crackers
5. fruit snacks

What works perfectly is I can grab any of these items before I leave for work in the morning if I am too busy to eat breakfast or just for a mid-morning snack. The Fiber One bars come in handy when I get those cravings and what is even better is Costco sells them in bulk!

Fiber One bars are so delicious, they really should have another name. We call them num num bars at our house!

“So good it should have another name!”

What do you grab for your on the go snacks?

    This summer flew by didn’t it? Thankfully, we have a few more weeks until school starts. I’m NOT ready for that. I’ll have a high schooler!!
    Having quick and easy healthy snacks is essential for busy moms. I need to stock up!

    Ooh, we have the same I think. It’s the one with the marshmallows in it. It’s so good! They’re so convenient especially when we go out and our baby cries. He’s 1 now and just learning to eat grown up snacks, so we tear off bits for him to chew on and keep busy.
