26 Costco Snacks Nutritionists And Dietitians Actually Swear By

"The organic Wholly Guacamole Minis are a great way to get healthy fats into your diet. I also love that they're individually packaged, so you don't have to worry about your guacamole turning brown. Use them as a dip for veggies, as a spread for avocado toast, or as a topping for dinner bowls!"

—Anjali Shah, board-certified health coach, founder of the Picky Eater, and author of Kid Chef Junior: My First Kids Cookbook

"Protein is incredibly important for stabilizing blood sugar. I always teach my clients to first identify what their protein source will be for snacks and meals. Beef jerky is one of the best ways to incorporate protein on the go. Unfortunately, most jerky has sugar in it — this one doesn't, which is why I love it!"

—Holly Perkins, BS, CSCS, author of Lift to Get Lean: A Beginner's Guide to Fitness & Strength Training in 3 Simple Steps, and creator of the Nutrition Project

"I love the Harvest Snaps Green Pea Snack Crisps for my kids' lunchboxes or when I'm craving something salty, crunchy, and healthy. The freeze-dried peas have 3 grams of fiber per serving, which is great for a kid-friendly snack!"

—Kath Younger, RD, founder of Kath Eats Real Food

"These are great because they're made from peas and are a high-fiber, relatively high-protein crunchy snack, which makes them a great alternative to chips. One serving of 22 crisps has 4 grams of fiber and 5 grams of protein."

—Anjali Shah, board-certified health coach, founder of the Picky Eater, and author of Kid Chef Junior: My First Kids Cookbook

"These are low in added sugar, since you are getting nearly all of the sweetness naturally from the fruit. They're filled with antioxidant-rich berries, including blueberries and goji berries, and they hit the sweet spot naturally."

—Delilah Bisase, RD, founder of Remedy by Delilah

"Costco is a great place to stock up on protein bars, such as RXBAR or Lärabars. I like that both of these provide protein and fat from egg whites and nuts and are made from foods you can pronounce and recognize."

—Kath Younger, RD, founder of Kath Eats Real Food

"The SkinnyPop bags are a favorite because they are individually packaged, non-GMO, and super satisfying. I like pairing them with an apple or some baby carrots and hummus for a more filling snack."

—Anjali Shah, board-certified health coach, founder of the Picky Eater, and author of Kid Chef Junior: My First Kids Cookbook

"The key to optimal energy is stable blood sugar, and the best way to achieve stable blood sugar is by eating a combination of protein and carbohydrates each time you eat. I love these fig bars, which have 2 grams of fiber per bar, when I want a sweet treat."

—Holly Perkins, BS, CSCS, author of Lift to Get Lean: A Beginner's Guide to Fitness & Strength Training in 3 Simple Steps, and creator of the Nutrition Project

"These are a classic favorite! I love chocolate as much as the next person, but for a more nourishing pick, I go for these. They're sweet, but they're basically sesame seed brittle, so you get satiating, healthy fats with your sweet treat! They're also perfectly snack-size."

—Abby Langer, RD, founder of Abby Langer Nutrition

"Nut butter is wonderful for individuals following a keto plan — I ask my clients to always purchase *plain* nut butter, then add their own flair with cinnamon, nutmeg, or a bit of cocoa. When I get a sweet craving, I'll eat a spoonful (sounds weird, but I love it!)."

—Shelly Marie Redmond, MS, RD, LDN, founder of the KLA Kitchen

"These are low in added sugar and provide a satisfying combo of fat and protein. The seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, and chia) have fat and protein, while the coconut is just tasty fat. Plus, they're super crunchy, which is great."

—Delilah Bisase, RD, founder of Remedy by Delilah

"I LOVE seaweed! It’s an incredible source of iodine, amino acid tyrosine, and other minerals. The salty and crispy texture hits the spot when I’d otherwise want chips. They are incredibly satisfying and a great snack option to hold you over until your next meal."

—Holly Perkins, BS, CSCS, author of Lift to Get Lean: A Beginner's Guide to Fitness & Strength Training in 3 Simple Steps, and creator of the Nutrition Project

"One of my mantras for a balanced snack is that it should include fiber, fat, and protein. This snack combo checks those boxes. The Balderson portion of cheese paired with crunchy and seedy crackers — you're getting so much yumminess without sacrificing any of the nutrition."

—Nita Sharda, BSc, RD, founder of Carrots & Cake Balanced Nutrition Consulting

"For the nut lover out there, it may be hard sometimes to choose which one you want. Costco’s Kirkland Signature Snacking Nuts Variety Pack solves that problem by including an assortment of peanuts, almonds, and cashews. The bonus is that they come individually portioned, have less than 200 milligrams of sodium, and provide around 10 grams of protein per serving."

—Keri Gans, MS, RDN, CDN, author of The Small Change Diet: 10 Steps to a Thinner, Healthier You

"Finding a tasty and nutritious granola can often feel impossible, but this one is both great on its own or alongside yogurt or milk. The granola isn't overly sweet and includes pumpkin seeds and flaxseed, making it a fairly good source of protein, which helps keep you full for longer. Tasty and satisfying!"

—Nita Sharda, BSc, RD, founder of Carrots & Cake Balanced Nutrition Consulting

"Popcorn, made from heart-healthy whole grains, can be an ideal snack. Costco’s Popcornopolis comes in handy individually portioned bags, each with 2 grams of fiber."
