I’m an avid shopper and long-time lover of CVS, so I’m proud to be working with CVS Pharmacy again to help spread the word about #BetterHealthMadeEasy and how to #FindYourHealthy. All opinions expressed are my own, and all product claims or program details shared should be verified at CVS.com or with the appropriate manufacturers. Thank you for supporting CNC! 

I’m sure many of you can relate to running into CVS for a quick purchase and leaving with a bag of peanut M&Ms or canister of dark chocolate covered cashews. Well, ok, maybe that’s just me, but I’m sure you guys have experienced a similar situation when you’re on-the-go and in need of a snack.

If you haven’t noticed already, the checkout area at your local CVS looks quite a bit different nowadays. Instead of the typical sugary candy bars, you have your pick of healthy snacks, including roasted chickpeas, turkey jerky, marinated olives, and more! In fact, nearly half of the foods found in CVS stores are “better-for-you” options.

I’m sure we can all agree that healthy snacking and eating right is important to our overall wellness, so I love that CVS continues to curate a selection of awesome, better-for-you brands that make eating on-the-go convenient and affordable. It’s important to me (and my family) that we can quickly and easily find CVS healthy foods. (Please note my tiny photography assistant below.)

Nowadays, you’ll find more than 250 fresh, refrigerated, and non-perishable healthy foods and beverages inside a CVS store, including more than 175 organic items. Hey, I’m impressed! 🙂 That said, read on for 17 healthy (and awesome) snacks, including 8 of my personal favorites that you can final at your local CVS!

Dark Chocolate Almond Perfect Bar – These babies taste just like chocolate chip cookie dough – perfect if you’re craving something sweet. I also love that they’re a balanced snack with a healthy amount of protein, carbs, and fat. They’re a little high in sugar, but, hey, they’re basically dessert in bar form.

Gold Emblem Abound Mango Coconut Nut, Grain and Rice Bites

Another tasty treat if you’re craving something sweet – maybe you’re not a chocolate fan? These rice bites are made from wholesome ingredients and have just 120 calories per serving, so if you want just a “bite” of something, this is the perfect snack. The flavor is subtle, but tropical, so if you like mango and coconut, you will love these!
