Popchips Variety Pack

$5 off a box of 30 0.8-oz bags

If you love potato chips but want a break from the fried variety, Popchips has got you covered. Instead of frying or baking, thinly sliced potatoes are placed under pressure with heat to create a light and airy popped potato chip. And since just one flavor might not satisfy your whole gang, this variety pack loads you up with three choices—Sea Salt, BBQ, and Sour Cream and Onion—so there’s bound to be something for everyone. 

Nature Valley Bars

$3.50 off boxes

Speaking of options and variety, the Nature Valley coupon is good for three different flavors. You can choose from their Protein Chewy Bars (26 count), Blueberry Breakfast Bars (24 count) or Fiber One Chocolate Fudge Brownie bars (40 count). You can only use the coupon on one box of bars, so choose your favorite! The protein bars have 10 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber per bar, the blueberry breakfast bars offer 3 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber, and the brownie bars will give you 2 grams of protein and 6 grams of fiber. The protein-fiber combo helps satisfy hunger while stabilizing blood sugar. It’s important to note that if sugar alcohols bother your gut (hello, gas and bloating!), you’ll want to steer clear of the Fiber One brownie bars since they’re sweetened with erythritol. 

Wellsley Farms Dried Fruit

$1 off 1 bag

Dried fruit can be a great way to get your fruit in, especially when you’re on the go. Wellsley Farms dried fruits are touted as being plump and juicy—without the risk of juice running down your shirt. The dried apricots (32 oz) and dried plums (44 oz)—aka prunes—have no added sugars, while the dried mango (30 oz) has 11 grams of added sugar (all dried fruits contain natural sugars). So if you’re watching your added sugar intake, go for the apricots or prunes. Because dried fruit is more concentrated than fresh fruit, ounce-for-ounce, you get more of certain nutrients per serving size—like fiber and antioxidants. With that said, eating too much dried fruit at once could give you a belly ache. Stick to what the label says is a serving size and don’t get all your fruit servings in the form of dried fruit. It’s important to get fresh fruit, too.

Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Whole Almonds

$2 off 40-oz. bag

Almonds are one of my favorite snacks to have in the afternoon. I usually enjoy them with a little bit of dark chocolate or an Unreal Dark Chocolate Coconut Mini—which is just the perfect pairing in my humble opinion! These Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Whole Almonds are roasted and then kissed with just a light sprinkling of salt, so you don’t feel like you need to suck down an entire bottle of water after eating them. And almonds are chockful of nutrition—fiber, healthy fats, antioxidants, calcium and vitamin E, which is necessary for a healthy brain, skin and hair. Toasting almonds brings out their natural sweetness while adding that extra crunch so many of us are looking for in a snack.  

Naked Juice

$1.50 off 64-oz. bottle

I love a good smoothie, no matter what time of day it is. When I make them at home, I pack them full of berries, pineapple, avocado, carrots, chia seeds, cottage cheese, kefir and olive oil—plus a scoop of acacia fiber and collagen powder. But sometimes I don’t have time to whip one up at home, which is where Naked Juice smoothies come in handy. They’re loaded with 100% fruit juices and purees, which means they bring lots of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to your glass. If you choose the fruit-only Naked Juice smoothies—which is what is pictured on the coupon—they don’t have a lot of protein, and with all those juices and purees, it could send your blood sugar soaring. So what I do is mix it with plain kefir and a teaspoon of acacia fiber. The kefir adds protein, calcium and probiotics and the acacia fiber adds, well, fiber. This combo will help slow down how quickly the smoothie is digested, provide a steadier stream of energy and help stabilize your blood sugar.

Vita Coco Pure Coconut Water

$3 off 6-pack of 1-liter cartons

If you’re looking for an all-natural electrolyte replacement drink to pack for your sports-loving kiddos, Vita Coco Pure Coconut Water is a healthy option (assuming they like the taste of coconut). This coconut water is the real deal, containing only coconut water, vitamin C and a tiny amount of added sugar—which will replace some of the carbs they’re burning off and provide quick energy for them. Coconut water may also help replace the electrolytes that are lost through sweating, including sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium. Of course, this is also great for adults after a workout or while sitting on the beach during your last summer hurrah before the kids go back to school. 

Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk

$2 off 6-pack of 32-fl. oz. cartons

Need a cow’s milk replacement but aren’t sold on the taste of soy milk? Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Milk might be what you’re looking for. Smooth and creamy like cow’s milk, almond milk is mild in taste with a very subtle hint of almond flavor (you might not even notice it if you didn’t know it was almond milk). According to the label, Almond Breeze fortifies its almond milk with calcium, but not vitamin D. Calcium and vitamin D work together to help strengthen bones. If you drink primarily almond milk, meet with a registered dietitian to figure out how you can also get enough vitamin D, which is found naturally in very few foods, including egg yolks, mushrooms and fatty fish. It’s also important to note that, unless it’s fortified with a protein supplement, almond milk also has very little protein, so if you’re switching from cow’s milk to almond milk thinking it’s an equal swap, it’s important to be aware of the nutritional differences so you can plan your eating pattern accordingly.

Kodiak Power Cakes Buttermilk Mix

$2 off a 3-pack of 20 oz. boxes

Kodiak Power Cakes Buttermilk Mix is perfect for busy mornings when you want a quick, healthy breakfast or an easy breakfast-for-dinner. This mix even made our list of the top healthy pancake mixes. I love this mix because it’s made with 100% whole-grain wheat and oat flours, which means you start—or end—your day with a fiber boost. But unlike some mixes made with 100% whole grain flours that end up as dry, dense discs, this one yields perfectly light, fluffy pancakes. What also makes this mix different from traditional ones is the addition of protein sources—whey and wheat protein isolates and milk protein concentrate. This results in 15 grams of protein per serving (three pancakes). These cakes also provide a healthy dose of calcium and iron. Altogether, the nutrients in this mix will help fuel you with steady, stable energy. Top your pancakes or waffles with berries and Greek yogurt to round out your meal.
