To help us all get in some goodness with snacks, I’m partnering with goodnessKNOWS Snack Squares. They combine the goodness of whole nuts, real fruits, toasted oats and dark chocolate. And this fall near Seattle, goodnessKNOWS is taking over the city with sampling events, inspiring its citizens to “Try a Little Goodness” with a little surprise and delight! You can try them out and fall in love… and only a 150 calorie snack to boot!! More details on Seattle dates and locations below. Being a work at home mom, I’ve got a lot going on in my day and I’m always looking for the perfect little pick-me-up! Between fixing lunches, school drop-offs, walking my cute furry dog, and spending time on a creative business at home, I need to find the time to eat something! And that’s all before everyone gets home from school and everything repeats for the afternoon, phew! So here are 3 simple snacking ideas I’m loving for my busy lifestyle.

Instead of making cookies with the kids, fix up these no-bake cookie dough balls instead! They give you a burst of energy right when you need it on the go. Pop them into a travel container and you’re set for a carpool ride to dance class!

2. Easy Homemade Microwave Popcorn

We make this easy popcorn snack all the time at our house! Plus the kids can make it by themselves too, win-win. So we’ll have a simple savory snack ready to go as we head out for soccer practice!

3. goodnessKNOWS Snack Squares

These babies are a delicious snack with all the goodness of whole nuts, real fruits, toasted oats and dark chocolate… my favorites! And they fit perfectly in my purse. I might even have one in the glove box of my car too, haha! We love to pop them into a container along with some veggies for a quick after-school snack on the go.

Find goodnessKNOWS Snack Squares available nationwide in six flavors, all crafted with dark chocolate:

cranberry & almond apple, almond & peanut peach, cherry & almond blueberry & almond mixed berry & almond strawberry & peanut
