We are all at home, so we thought we’d share some of our favorite sweet snacks. We haven’t tried all of these, but the ones we haven’t, have great reviews. In case you missed our healthier snack options, you can find that post here.

Chocolates

Sam is a MAJOR chocoholic, so to keep her satisfied, she loves any of the Hu Chocolate Bars. This one is raspberry and cashew butter and so good.

If you like chocolate patties, we love these Heavenly Organics honey patties because the ingredients are so good.

If you’re a peanut butter cup fan, these Unreal peanut butter cups are insanely good and much better ingredients than Reese’s. Also, these Eating Evolved coconut butter cups are also amazing.

We haven’t had a chance to try these That’s It truffles. The ingredients are ON POINT.

Caramel lovers, you all HAVE to try these coconut milk caramels!

Candies

If you’re a candy lover, these Smart Sweets are a fan favorite and come in so many flavors. Healthy eater or not, you’ll love this take on your favorite candies.

Starburst lovers, these Chewie Fruities are so good and made with more natural ingredients.

For those of you that like hard candies, these lemon manuka honey drops are full of amazing nutrients!

Chips

You all already know we LOVE our Bare apple chips. They’re so good, and just made of apples, that is it!

These plantain chips are really good and made with great ingredients!

Our Favorite Snacks and Protein Bars

Our Favorite Healthy Snacks | adoubledose.com

We originally shared this post last year, but we wanted to share it again, and make some updates to it since we get a lot of questions about what our favorite snacks and protein bars are. We tend to love eating fruits, vegetables, lean proteins like eggs, chicken, steak, fish, etc, but we definitely like to snack on stuff and have a MAJOR sweet tooth!

You can also check out our tips on Eating out At Restaurants and Fast Food Hacks.

Here are our go-to snacks:We always go for something with protein and carbs together. The protein is super important because it keeps you full! We get our carbs from mostly fruits and vegetables, but also love toast, granola, etc.

As far as some of our favorite protein powders, we have a hard time with Whey protein powder most of the time, but here are some of our favorites:

We also LOVE these GG crackers for snacking. They have A TON of fiber in them and they are pretty good. They also come in a plain version and we found some topping ideas here!

We have also gotten a ton of questions about which protein bars are our favorite. We almost always go for Quest protein bars because they’re lower in carbs, high in protein, and high in fiber. We love them toasted in the oven for a few minutes because they get crispy on the outside. You can also put them in the microwave for 10-20 seconds.

Here are some other favorite snack ideas:

Although this isn’t really a “snack”, we both tend to eat this as a snack/meal any time of day. We will prep grilled chicken at the beginning of the week with veggies. We love roasted carrots and brussels sprouts!
This is also another snack/meal for us. This is a HUGE salad from Snappy Salads with grilled chicken.
We have this chocolate mug cake for dessert a lot of nights. It has a ton of protein in it and is super easy to make! Recipe HERE!
