10 Plant-Based Snacks + Recipes to Keep Kids Satisfied All Day Long

Pop Zero Popcorn Movie nights are big right now as we're all huddled at home. Swap your usual kernels for this algae oil-based variety. Algae is high in monounsaturated fats (the good kind) and omega-3 fatty acids. Gluten-free and non-GMO, Pop Zero has some fun flavors (and super cute packaging) like Simply Cinema (classic), Cinnamon Toast, Sea Salt and Chili Lime.

BRAMI Lupini Beans Snack Lupini beans, or lightly pickled legumes, pack a salty crunch that would make any salad swoon-worthy. Good for afternoon munchies too, they have more protein than chickpeas and fewer cals than almonds. Go for the multi-pack for a mix of savory (for them) and spicy (for you) Sea Salt, Garlic & Herb, Chili Lime, and Hot Pepper.

The Coconut Collaborative Salted Caramel Ganache Paradise Pots Swap your kid's chocolate pudding cup for these mini pots of smile-making dairy-free deliciousness. Also available in dairy-free yogurts, the company replants coconut trees in the areas where they source through its Pur Project.
