8 Healthy Snack Subscription Boxes You Can Sign Up for Online
Staying energized between meals is easier and more fun when you have new snacks to try every month.
For many of us, snacks are a necessary part of a healthy diet that keeps our bodies fueled all day. A mid-morning fruit-and-nut bar can be exactly what the doctor (or dietitian, perhaps) ordered to get us through to a late lunch, and a handful of whole-grain chips or beef jerky can help ease the 4:00 PM hunger that might otherwise derail an afternoon.
If you love snacking but often come up short on snack ideas or prep time, a healthy snack subscription box is a great way to make sure you always have something on hand when you need it. Plus, getting a variety of different snacks sent to your door each month means it's tough to get bored. No matter what kind of snacks you're looking for, there's probably a box out there that caters to your likes and preferences. Here are eight of our favorite healthy snack subscription boxes.
Marketed as a "snack discovery box," UrthBox curates a variety of better-for-you snacks that you may or may not already know about. They offer mini (6-7 snacks), small (12-14 snacks), medium (19-21 snacks) and large (25-28 snacks) boxes, and you can choose to order a single box or a recurring monthly subscription. There are vegan, gluten-free and keto box options in addition to a classic box for anyone with specific dietary needs, too. The snacks in the box change each month, but past boxes have included things like dry-roasted edamame, chickpea puffs, fruit and protein pouches, flavored hemp hearts, dark chocolate-covered espresso beans, gluten-free cookies and prebiotic sodas.
Subscribe to Oh Goodie's box of the month and get 12-15 better-for-you snacks each month, or at whatever frequency works best for you. The snacks are made with "whole foods with limited added sugar," which means things like grain-free tortilla chips, grass-fed beef jerky and lower-sugar granola packets. There are also vegan and gluten-free boxes available if you'd like your snacks to fit into one of those categories.
Snacking on sardines and pickled mussels may not be everyone's cup of tea, but we love this unique snack box. It's a great way to add more heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids to your diet while also ensuring that you're eating protein-rich snacks. Each monthly box contains three premium tinned fish selections, plus condiments and other snack items like crackers to help you build out a full snack. Between the pretty packaging and the international selections, this box makes snack time instantly more sophisticated.
If you're an endurance athlete who's sick of the same old sports gels, energy chews and electrolyte powders, a Fuel Goods snack box subscription is a great way to discover new options. You can choose between The RunnerBox and The RiderBox, although, frankly, both contain pretty much the same snacks but come with different sport-specific add-ons, such as therapeutic food tape for runners versus sweat bands for cyclists. You'll get a box every two months filled with popular brands like Honey Stinger, plus lesser-known ones like Näak and Tailwind. Subscribers also get discounts on any other items ordered through Fuel Goods.
For strength training enthusiasts looking for new protein-rich snacks and performance-focused supplements, The Lift Box has you covered. Choose from the original Lift Box with snacks, a drink, supplements and a T-shirt, or The Snack Box with snacks plus a few supplements. While we can't speak to the supplements (whose usefulness really depends on the specific product and the person using it), the snacks are heavy on various protein bars and high-protein versions of classics like chips and chocolate puffs that are easy to throw in a gym bag.
With box sizes ranging from 15 to 600 snacks, the Simpalo Snack box works for single people, families or entire offices. You can choose to receive weekly, bi-weekly or monthly deliveries of classic healthy snacks from well-loved brands like Dole, PopCorners and Larabar. This is a great option for anyone who wants some variety in their snack routine but likes sticking with tried-and-true favorites. Expect options like popcorn, baked fruit bars, flavored nuts and popcorn.
With an emphasis on high-protein snacks, Snack Beast boxes are full of things like keto balls, protein tortilla chips, grass-fed beef sticks and smoothie packs. You can choose from different types of boxes that cater to more specific nutrient needs, like low-sugar, low-carb and plant-based, all available as small (10+ snacks), medium (15+ snacks) and large (20+ snacks) monthly deliveries.
This woman-owned company curates monthly snack boxes filled with better-for-you snacks like flavored almonds, gluten-free cookies and superseed cereal. Unlike most other subscription boxes, you'll get fewer selections each month (5-8) but in full-sized, multi-serving packages instead of just single servings. (There's also an option for a Mini Snacker snack box with 8-10 single-serve snacks.) In addition to the regular box, they offer vegan, gluten-free and keto box options. And if you want to go beyond snack foods, they also offer a pantry subscription box with staples like pasta and salsa, or a lifestyle box with toiletries and other self-care items.
