It’s Friday, so I’m linking up with Fairytales and Fitness for the Friday Five. You may have seen my recap last week of this year’s Sweets and Snacks Expo. If not, you can check it out here. Since I started attending six years ago, they healthy snacks and treats have grown exponentially. The Today Show had a segment of the “8 Hottest Healthy Snacks from Sweets & Snacks.” It included some of my faves like Bada Bean Bada Boom and Bubba’s Fine Foods. It also included some of my new finds.
5 New / New to me Snacks from Sweets & Snacks
The Smart Co Smart Tarts – These are basically Pop-Tart’s healthy cousin. Each toaster cake has 8g of protein and 50% less sugar than other similar products. They also have functional ingredients like chia, acai and cinnamon with nothing artificial. The best thing about them? They taste amazing! You can find them online.
Landcrafted Foods Grassfed Meat Sticks – Landcrafted makes 100% grass-fed beef sticks. They are small-batch crafted in their farmer-owned smokehouse in Virginia. The cows are humanely raised and fully traceable. They use no added hormones or antibiotics. These meat sticks have less than 1⁄2 the fat of other beef sticks and are lower in saturated fat and cholesterol. They’re made with organic cane sugar and sea salt, are gluten-free and contain no MSG or nitrates. Stay tuned for a full review of all four flavors and a giveaway. You can get find them on Amazon and at Mom’s Market.

They’re gluten free and non-GMO. They come in four flavors Berry, Peach, Apple and Strawberry. They have adorable animals for each flavor, too! You can find them on Amazon.
Lebby Chickpea Snacks. I was excited to try these after seeing them everywhere on the ‘gram. These chickpeas snacks come in Honey Sesame and in three chocolate covered varieties. Chickpeas are packed with protein and over 70% less fat than peanuts. Lebby Snacks are gluten free, non-GMO and kosher. The chocolate flavors are very tasty but the Honey Sesame is my fave. Stay tuned for more from Lebby. In the mean time, you can find them on Amazon.
Figgin’ Fruit – These poppables taste like Fig Newtons, but are better for you. These healthy, whole-grain snacks are filled with a blend of real figs, sweet blueberries and açaí. They’re dairy free and vegan and contain no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives. The size is perfect and I love the 1.25 oz packs for on the go and portion control. You can find them on Amazon.
