7 Easy Healthy Meals and Snacks We’re Testing

Foodstirs Brownie Cupcakes. My kids love helping in the kitchen. They love picking flowers. They love lollipops. And they love eating. So the Foodstirs Blooming Brownie spring kit was a huge hit in our family. Co-founded by Sarah Michelle Gellar, Foodstirs offers convenient, delicious and healthier ways to bring people together in the kitchen. Its creative cooking kits and premium signature baking mixes help inspire creativity while being made with premium and real ingredients, free of artificial preservatives, dyes and flavors.

If you need a little hand-holding when it comes to nailing your Pinterest ambitions, this kit is for you. Plus, the brownies were super tasty and kid-approved.

Revolution Foods Lunch Bundles. These little snack bundles look innocent, but they pack a super-filling punch. You might think “Lunch!?” but you’ll soon find out that they are plenty to satisfy you — or a hoard of kiddos. I tested out the Revolution Superfood (gluten-free corn and flax chips, zesty chickpeas and almonds, real veggie crisps, harvest blend trail mix, chocolate-covered raisins) and Sundipper bundles (gluten-free pretzels, banana chips, no nut butter, harvest blend trail mix, roasted soy nuts), and they were both gone in a hurry.

It’s a nice variety of foods to get a big nutritional bang for the calories (510 and 570 for the two we tried) and the fact that they’re shelf stable means you can keep them on hand for snacks on the go, lunches when you don’t want to cook or when you’re a nursing mom who needs all the calories. Bonus: 1 percent of sales go to the “Feeding Good Fund” which helps provide schools with fresh meals.
