One of my favorite holistic grab-and-go snacks are sweet and hearty KIND Bars. They're really delicious and minimally processed, so they give you a wholesome and long lasting energy boost. Each bar is made with ingredients you keep in your pantry and/or a 3rd grader can pronounce (a la Michael Pollan's Food Rules).
Fun yummy things like dates, walnuts, sesame seeds, mango, peanuts, coconut, almonds and honey are mushed together into one delectable and portable treat. And because they're nut-based, you get plenty of heart healthy (good) fat in every bite. "A recent Yale study suggests eating 2 KIND bars a day promotes weight loss, and fruit and nuts are known to lower the risk of heart disease and cancer." Smart little snack food. 
just in from the beach eating my snack of choice!
My friend Becky said it the best, "the bars look like what they are." Isn't that refreshing? Especially in an age when most things we see in the grocery store are "strawberry flavored," for example, and look nothing a real strawberry.
My personal favs flavors include: Fruit & Nut Delight, Walnut & Date, Sesame & Peanut with Chocolate. Almond & Coconut is a little too dry for my taste and I'm nuts about (pun intended) the Fruits & Nuts in Yogurt or Almond & Apricot. Just one ladie's opinion. There are over a dozen different varieties to try and I've even seen them recently at Starbuck's in NYC. So they're easy to get your hungry little hands on. Pick one up for a snack when you're on the go. After all, you deserve to Be KIND to your tummy :)
