Easy Paleo Snacks (the best of 2020)

Aug 16, 2020 · 4 Comments

This post contains a collection of 15 simple Paleo snack ideas for kids (and adults).  These are my go-to healthy snacks of the year (currently year 2020).  These easy Paleo snacks are great for the summer, school lunches or packing up and bringing on-the-go.

Let's talk snacks.

When it comes to snacks, I feel like a pro.  Only because my kids feel the need to eat every couple hours.

But trust me when I say it wasn't always that way.  Nope.  I used to struggle with what Paleo foods to feed my kids.

Now, my kids don't eat 100% Paleo, but more often than not their meals and snacks include primarily Paleo foods.

In order to help you all with snack and meal ideas for feeding your own kids (or yourself), I've come up with a collection of 15 different Paleo snack plates.  These aren't just individual snacks, but healthy, well-rounded plates featuring a variety of foods.

Snack Goals

With each snack that I prepare for my kids, I have a few specific goals in mind.  I want each plate to be:

  • healthy
  • quick, easy to prepare
  • contain fats, carbs and protein (usually)
  • have variety and color

Because one of my goals is to have quick, easy to prepare snacks, none of these ideas include Paleo snack recipes (as in things you have to make and bake).  All of these items are Paleo snacks to buy; either purchased in store or on Amazon.

Although most of these snacks are presented on plates, they can be packed up in a lunch box or container and eaten on-the-go.

Hopefully, these ideas will provide you with some fun snack inspiration that your kids will love and you can feel good about feeding them!

Snack 1

  • fresh veggies: carrots, celery and mini bell peppers
  • miniature dill pickles
  • That's It apple mango fruit bar (Trader Joe's sells these too)
  • salted, dry roasted almonds (if your kids don't like raw almonds they may like them dry roasted and salted - so tasty)
  • Inka Plantain chips (usually cheaper to buy online than in-store)
  • New Primal grass fed meat stick (my kids love this brand)

Snack 2

  • sauteed asparagus (cook fresh asparagus with a little avocado oil and salt on the stove top over medium heat)
  • fresh fruit: raspberries, kiwi
  • carrot
  • dry roasted hazelnuts (good price at Trader Joe's)
  • simple mills sun-dried tomato & basil crackers

Snack 3

  • Lesser Evil Paleo puffs
  • peaches (topped with hemp seeds and pumpkin seeds)
  • sauerkraut
  • mini dill pickles
  • boiled eggs

Snack 4

  • Forager grain free chips (made with cassava, tigernut & coconut oil)
  • raw pumpkin seeds
  • salami
  • unsweetened coconut chips
  • grapes

Snack 5

  • Hu grain free crackers
  • boiled eggs
  • cucumber, carrots, tomatoes
  • apples
  • frozen blueberries
  • raw nuts: almonds & walnuts

Snack 6

  • Bare apple chips
  • Justin's maple almond butter (my kids love being able to eat nut butter straight from the packet...also, buying online tends to be cheaper than in store)
  • peeled carrot (just peel a carrot using a simple vegetable peeler - my kids love eating carrots this way)
  • boiled egg
  • medjool dates, chopped

Snack 7

  • salted beet chips (go for salted over unsalted - huge flavor difference!)
  • dry roasted macadamia nuts (can find for a pretty good price at Costco)
  • Inka plantain chips
  • coconut chips
  • fresh strawberries
  • cucumber

Snack 8

  • New Primal grass fed beef stick
  • cucumber, olives, snap peas
  • Trader Joe's coconut strips (not 100% Paleo because it has a small amount of sugar, but gluten free and a great treat)
  • dried mango
  • chocolate chips
  • gluten free flatbread
  • dry roasted almonds, raw pumpkin seeds
  • Inka plantain chips (yes, we eat a lot of these!)

Snack 9

  • snap peas
  • fresh fruit: blackberries, strawberries
  • raw walnuts
  • banana chips (note: most brands contain added sugar, which isn't Paleo but fine for a treat.  Look for ones cooked without vegetable oil.)
  • avocado
  • Artisan Tropic cassava chips (these aren't very salty, but they taste good and have an excellent crunch)

Snack 10

  • sliced apples
  • nut/seed butter: almond butter, tahini, sunflower seed butter
  • Bare banana chips
  • goji berries
  • chocolate chips
  • walnuts

Snack 11

  • fresh berries: raspberries, strawberries
  • veggies: snap peas, bell pepper
  • avocado (made into an avocado rose)
  • Paleo pretzels (these are the only Paleo pretzels I have seen on the market and we love them)
  • pecans

Snack 12

  • Simple Mills pita crackers
  • New Primal grass fed meat stick
  • broccoli (if your kids don't like raw broccoli, then sautee it for a few minutes prior to serving)
  • apple slices
  • Justin's maple almond butter packet

Snack 13

  • simple mills almond flour crackers (the sea salt ones, shown above, are my favorite)
  • fresh veggies: purple carrot, cucumber (sprinkled with hemp seed)
  • cutie oranges
  • pumpkin seeds

Snack 14

  • fresh veggies: tomatoes, rainbow carrots, celery, snap peas
  • chocolate chips
  • pecans
  • Lesser Evil paleo puffs (I LOVE these!  However, if you don't like the flavor of coconut oil, these probably aren't for you.)
  • Real Food From the Ground Up grain free chips and organic salsa
  • strawberries

Snack 15

  • Late July grain free tortilla chips (made with cassava flour & tigernut flour)
  • raw walnuts
  • chopped baby carrots
  • fresh figs
  • Nick's Paleo Beef Sticks (100% grass fed, Whole30)

And that sums things up!  This collection should provide you with a lot of great easy Paleo snacks, especially if you have little ones.

    I love reading your blog, but I had no idea how similar we were until this one! I love your food beliefs and how you feed your family! Looks like I need to head to Trader Joe's for a few items I haven't been able to find at Sprouts, like all that dried fruit without sugar added. I've been searching for a year and have only found dried apples. Thanks!
