This year, a lot of parents are resolving to buy healthier lunchbox snacks that are kid and cool mom approved. Seem like a tall order? Not with these five healthy snacks.

I know that healthy snacks can be hard. So many taste, well, healthy. These five products are different. They get high marks on health and taste, and I'm not the only one doing the grading. My boys have signed off on these treats, too. Hooray for one no-brainer resolution! -Stacie

Thought the quinoa trend was over? Think again. The most genius product churned out by the quinoa craze is just hitting stores now in the form of this tasty, bite-sized snack. Made with puffed quinoa flakes, whole quinoa, nuts and all-natural sweeteners, these naturally gluten free snack clusters are nutritious and delicious. They have a hint of quinoa's trademark smoky flavor, which goes particularly well with the dark chocolate drizzled on top of the chocolate sea salt flavor. If chocolate isn't your thing, choose from one of the other three flavors: almond, cranberry cashew or ginger peanut.

I've got to admit: I tired the all-natural roasted chickpea snacks by The Good Bean a while back and wasn't so sure about them. Many months later, I decided to give them a second try. Lo and behold, the boys and I were pleasantly surprised. Turns out, they adjusted their recipe ands are churning out undeniably delicious treats in four flavors: sea salt, cracked pepper, smoky chili and lime and, my our favorite, sweet cinnamon. Now we munch on these high-fiber, high protein snacks all of the time. Good thing they are also low fat, gluten free and non-gmo! The Good Bean has also started making a tasty Fruit & NO-NUT Bar in three flavors that's especially awesome for families following allergy-free diets.

The OneBar is a simple concept: one perfectly sized snack bar with one pure serving of fruit. The OneBar has no added sugars, is gluten-free, peanut-free and vegan. It is also enriched with baobab, an African super fruit high in antioxidants, calcium, essential minerals, and vitamins C and B complex. It's just the right size for little ones and--the best part--at $0.99/bar, it's just the right price for you. OneBar comes in three flavors: apple, cherry and mango. We have a hard time choosing our favorite!

I was initially drawn into this brand by their mission: committed to helping feed 200 million hungry children, Two Degrees donates one meal to a hungry child for ever bar that you buy. When all it takes is buying an all-natural, vegan, GMO and gluten free snack bar to help feed hungry children, consider me in. When the bars actually taste good, consider me in over and over again. These snack bars, made with quinoa, chia and millet, come in four flavors. I'm partial to cherry almond, but my boys like the chocolate peanut best. 

I'm not one for secretly tucking veggies into kid favorite foods, but that doesn't mean that veggies shouldn't be incorporated in unexpected recipes. If I wasn't okay with that, there would be no such thing as deliciously sweet zucchini bread and that would not be okay! Bitsy's Brainfood cookies are a lot like my favorite zucchini snack: a sweet treat packed with veggie goodness and delicious flavor. These are still cookies, but reasonably sized ones that serve as a source of Omega-3's, vitamins, calcium and whole grains. They come in four flavors. I like the Zucchini Gingerbread Carrot (of course), but my kids dig the Lemon Broccoli. And, yes, they know there's broccoli in there, but yours don't have to.

You can buy these cookies through the Bitsy's Brainfood site.
