Healthy Snacks to Go Ebook: Review and a Giveaway
This giveaway has now ended.
One area that is really tough for a lot of mamas is figuring out what kind of simple, fast and nourishing snacks they can feed their kids.
Committed to whole foods myself, there are the odd days when I long to be able to just grab a few packaged fruit roll ups or plastic containers of apple sauce or crackers as we fly out the door. We all crave convenience sometimes. One of the fastest ways to start making unhealthy eating choices is to get hungry when you’re away from home. Temptation is bound to get you.
Fortunately, it doesn’t have to be that way. Katie has crafted a stellar handbook for moms wanting to keep everyone happy, healthy and NOT hungry. Her snack recipes and ideas are sure to please.
Enter the Healthy Snacks to Go ebook!
Healthy Snacks to Go is the first ebook from Katie Kimball of Kitchen Stewardship. I think that she has really outdone herself and created a useful resource for busy moms, who want something healthier to give their families (and themselves).
A few reasons I loved this ebook:
:: For anyone still learning and transitioning to more real and traditional foods, Katie makes it all so simple and basic. She offers lots of explanations and info, in a completely down-to-earth way.
:: The recipes are very kid friendly. I don’t think there is anything in the book that my kids would take issue with, and plenty of yummy things that would thrill them (an in fact, already have!).
:: Beyond some different takes on things that I already make (power bars, granola, baked goods, etc.) I found a few completely new ideas, like Tater Skin Crispies, made out of potato peels (that’s right- the part you usually throw away or compost). Brilliant! Just another way to make food out of something we might otherwise waste. Love that!
:: I had been wanting to figure out how to make Larabars recently, and this ebook had impeccable timing. It saved me from having to experiment and figure it out myself, and not only that, gave me 14 scrumptious variations to choose from based on what’s available in my pantry! We’ve tried 3 versions so far, with definite plans to try more. They’ve all been winners, for sure.
:: Plenty of options for those with allergies and food restrictions (including dairy, gluten and grain free). There are easy-to-spot icons that will tell you at a glance whether a recipe is easy to make, low cost, needs cold storage (or is backpack friendly), includes soaking, or is free of common allergens.
:: There are fantastic bonus tips, like the fact that I could toss potatoes into the oven to bake for dinner while my granola baked (which I thought was s super idea and helped me to make granola AND potato salad with little fuss or wasted energy). Katie has a wonderful focus on stewarding our time and energy well, and she’s always looking for ways to make things more efficient and streamlined in the kitchen.

Disclosure: I have received a copy of this book for review, but have not been paid or compensated to write this review. These are my honest opinions about the book. I do receive a small affiliate commission on each sale from my site, but I only recommend products I truly think are worth buying.
I’d love to win a copy! I definitely have a problem with planning ahead. When we go to town, there’s a mad dash to get out of the house and then I’m libel to grab something unhealthy to get us by while we’re out. I’d love to make my own larabars- yum!
I would love to win this book because this is a struggle for my family. I’ve had to work later hours lately which means my son is starving (and I am too) by the time we get home. I try to have apple slices or boiled eggs ready, but sometimes he is too far gone by then. If I could give him something before we ever leave daycare I think he would be a lot happier!

We need snacks because of our crazy schedule: violin lessons, baseball practices and games, mission trip meetings. We often do what I call “car schooling” (we homeschool and take books and work to do in the car.)
I would love a copy of this ebook! Thanks for telling us about it!
I love your blog!
My biggest struggle with serving healthy snacks/to-go foods is finding the time to make them with a full-time job and 2 kids and a husband to care for.
I’d love a copy! Planning ahead is my biggest struggle. We so often find ourselves “out and about” at snack time and even meal times. I’m also dealing with picky eaters lately.

I have a lot of problems coming up with healthy snacks. My kids, even though they are 15 & 12, are very picky eaters. They would prefer to eat chips after school not fruit or anything healthy. I would love to win Healthy Snacks To Go! I need help!:) Thank you for the chance!
My biggest struggle is my husband. He grew up on packaged junk, his first girlfriend, according to him, was little debbie. It’s really hard to get him to understand and I struggle to find things that he’ll eat rather than turn to the vending machine or gas station.

Time! Time is my biggest constraint to eating healthy, including snacks and lunches to go.
We are just transitioning to “real” foods – so, my biggest struggle IS what kind of snacks to keep on hand for my nine year old. I don’t want to buy the pre-packaged, chemical-laden stuff anymore, but it’s almost impossible to find healthy options in cookbooks. And, my creativity is running low in this area. This e-book sounds like the perfect answer!

My biggest struggle is the convienance. Our kitchen is literally about 8X8 (a temporary rental) and with two little kids and a big dog, someone is always under-foot. I’ve definitely noticed that I am cooking WAY less for them than I normally would because there is just no space!

This is such a timely topic! I am trying to get rid of the “goldfish, crackers and cheerios” habit for the kids. But it is really tough, especially when on the go! It’s difficult to bring cut up fruit, etc. for the one year olds; I can’t wait to get some good ideas of thing I can prepare that are good snacks for the kids!
I would love to win a copy! I struggle with finding healthy snacks that are easy to grab as we go out the door!

Since I just had my first 5 weeks ago I can’t speak from mommy experience. However, I have had problems finding quick, healthy snack foods that I can eat while being the busy new mom. I’m sure I will find out about having healthy to-go snacks for kids in a few months when he starts eating table foods.

My biggest struggle with healthy snacking is the need to eat often while working full-time. I’m petite and I don’t eat much at any one sitting, but I definitely need a snack mid-morning and mid-afternoon to keep my already-low blood sugar levels from dropping. I grew up eating pretty healthy foods thanks to a brother with food allergies and a wonderful work-at-home mom, but now that I’m an adult it’s easier to just buy something off the shelf at the store. My husband and I are expecting our first baby in August, so it’s even more important to me now that we eat healthy and wholesome foods.
My biggest struggle is finding healthy snacks that can be eaten while walking, in the car, in the stroller- things that don`t make a mess, that my two year old will like to eat. Definately easier said than done!
Ugh, I have a lot of challenges with this. I try to make granola bars, which my family loves, but they get eaten up so fast! And when they run out, it often takes me a long time to get around to making more. Plus, that’s pretty much my only idea for a take-along snack, so I would love some more options!

My biggest challenge is finding foods to make that I can easily take along to feed my 1 year old daughter AND my husband and me. I have a hard time finding things that will fill up all three of us.
Oh, I was just drooling over this book last week and wishing I had the money to get it! I think my biggest struggle is the planning ahead, closely followed by lack of ideas! 🙂
I also subscribed to both blogs, and “liked” them both on facebook (I’m hoping that’s what you meant by following)
This is so timely for me! I am trying to get away from giving my girls crackers all the time. My 1 yr old likes to eat anytime she sees anyone else eating. But she is dairy intolerant, so I can’t give her cheese and a lot of other snacks I use to give my older daughter. Trying to come up w/ healthy sbnacks have been a real challenge for me. Oh and thanks for connecting up to Kitchen Stewardship. I had visited there before but lost track of her site.

My biggest struggle with healthy snacks is changing my kids’ “idea” of what a snack should be. The oldest one is only eight, but I’m working on undoing several years of bad choices on my part.
I struggle with remembering to plan for snacking. I will make healthy-ish oatmeal cookies or something or banana bread that isn’t too bad, but those things are not greatly portable. Sometimes I will throw nuts in my purse, but still having young kids, the littlest ones aren’t always able to eat those. If we have fresh fruit around I might manage to grab that to go but again that can be tricky if its messy or needs to be cut up to share.

Serving healthy snacks isn’t the only hard thing for me, serving ANYTHING healthy is hard for me. I was raised in a home that ate NOTHING healthy…EVER…I actually had my first strawberry when I was 19 (After I left home) and my first salad shortly thereafter. I have had to make myself eat healthier foods, and learn to like them. It has been a process for sure. Now that I am a mom I am desperately trying to figure out how to prepare healthy meals/snacks for my family. It has been much harder than I ever imagined. I so wish I could just go with menus I grew up with, but that really isn’t an option. I tend to rely on blogs and other websites to help me figure out how to feed my family….:) So the “what part of serving healthy snacks is hard” answer is “all of it…” 🙂

I struggle with having Gluten free snacks available. All of us but my oldest has to be gluten free and snacks to go are just not one of my strengths yet… I used to grab granola bars or something but most all of them have gluten. I also struggle with eating healthy snacks for me since I am pregnant..something quick and easy would be nice.

I’d like to have healthy snacks ready to use when we have go out!Sometimes we have to be outside and I didn’t have time to fix up something they could eat, so it’s helpful to have somethng good and yummy to eat and not having to buy something on the go.
I struggle with finding healthy snacks that all of my kids like, as well as having them ready to go when I need them. I guess that’s the lure of the pre-packaged stuff that’s usually not the best.
This sounds like a great book. One of my children has several food allergies so it can be hard to make snacks everyone can enjoy.

With three children 3 and under, it is difficult to always make the best food choices…with this book I am confident I could give my children healthy snacks instead of being tempted by all that pre-packaged junk!

Creative ideas…we’re home a lot, so we don’t eat on the go much, but when we do, I never know what to bring that doesn’t make a mess or require refrigeration, except, you know, crackers or apple slices. This e-book would be great. Thanks!

I try to make healthy snacks, but I seem to get stuck in a rut of what to make. So I think this book would be great for lots of different ideas on what to make for my kids.
My challenge is that most to-go snacks I make involved baked goods of some sort, then my husband and I eat the same snack all week and by the time it’s Friday we’re sick of it! This ebook sounds like good inspiration for introducing more variety in the snacks we take to work.

Have them already made so they are just easy to get out. Having enough variety so it’s not always an apple, banana, pear or orange.
Wow, we just tried making Larabars on our own and had some decent success, so I would love to see how she does it. Plus, that’s about our extent of snacks to go, so we need new ideas.

My kids like to have their afternoon snack while we are watching a program or reading stories. They love applesauce, yogurt, and Kashi cereal bars but they make such a MESS if not eaten at the table.

Oh Stephanie! I can barely read your website! I am using IE6 (outdated, I know but I’m reading at work and have no choice). So I tried Firefox and it’s pretty much the same. The brown is faint, but I can read it. The light green is horrendous. I know it’s a strong word but I literally cannot read your the content written in green. I tried to find how to contact you directly instead of posting in Comments but I couldn’t see this option.
Beatrice
@Beatrice, Yikes, I’m surprised to hear it’s so bad for you. We’ve heard that the blue-green is a bit light for some people (so we’re darkening it) but we haven’t head problems with the brown at all. Can you tell me what browser you use and what size monitor you have? Thanks for letting me know! We’re working to make it readable for everyone!
@Stephanie @ Keeper of the Home, IE6 at work but I also checked on Firefox. I can send you screenshots if you like. The brown is ok but it’s not as crisp as it could be. Maybe my eyes are failing me! 🙂
I can check at home too which is IE8.
I love your site!
@Beatrice, I really appreciate the feedback, Beatrice! It helps my designer and I know where to go with the color changes. Thank you!
I usually do good at the store not buying junk, but then get home and have nothing ready to feed the hungry kiddos at snack time!

I have feed my son organic and traditionally since I became preggo. The hardest thing for me now, he is 15months, is when we are around other kids that are eating junk and he wants it. If I don’t have a snack for him then it’s a real headache. I love snack ideas and advice. What a great topic.
My kids are used to packaged snacks, and as we’re trying to get away from those, they are resisting the change.

I am new to the “real” food way of living. I have 2 children ages 4 and almost 2. And it seems like we are constantly on the move. My 4 year old is a picky eater to put it lightly and will only eat PB&J and processed foods/snacks-although he is a big fruit fan as well. I really need ideas of healthy foods to prepare and serve to my family-especially in the way of snacking. I am so tired of feeling like I am not providing healthy foods for them. And the stores don’t provide enough good/pure options. I just bought your book Real Foods and am feeling inspired. Healthy Snacks to Go would be an answer to prayer for me!

My biggest struggle with snacks is that I want to be able to GRAB and GO! I don’t want to take the time to prepare something (because I’m usually late enough as it is). 🙂
I “liked” KS on Facebook.
I would love to have these snack recipes! I love to give my kids healthy snacks!!! I love to cook them!!! Also when we go on trips it would be nice to have a bag of healthy things to munch on! Yahoo!
My biggest struggle is just keeping it quick… if it’s not quick, it’s not going to happen.
.-= Creative2xmom´s last blog .."Make Do" Pasta =-.
My biggest struggle is the whole time factor. I need some ideas for quick, easy, make ahead snacks.
I would love the e-book. I always struggle with homemade snacks! Processed is so much easier at this point. The few recipes I have tried for granola bars, etc have totally failed.
Hi! I need this ebook! I struggle with giving healthy snacks and especially on the go foods. For convenience, I usually just buy healthy, organic, prepackaged snacks (and spend a good chunk of change doing so)…all the while knowing I could make them myself (and they’d be healthier and cheaper). I am just stuck in a rut for good ideas, and need a book centered on kid friendly options. Thanks!!!!
my husband 🙁 He loves nonfoodish snacks. we’re working on it though!
My biggest struggle is having things ready when the hunger strikes. I would love to win a copy.

My biggest struggle is the preparation. My 6.5 month old baby is very needy, and trying to meet her needs and that of my 2-year-old is a struggle– having any extra time for prep is hard to come by.
We live an hour and a half away from our family. Close enough to be able to drive down frequently, but far enough away that we have to leave the second my husband gets home from work on Friday night if we want to get there at a decent hour. We have so many events going on in our hometown (graduations, weddings, birthday parties, etc.) soon that we’ll be going down there every weekend for the next 2-3 months. We will need to figure out things to eat on the road! We’re used to eating dinner at 5 pm every night, but on weekends, we have to leave as soon as my husband gets home at 4:30, and we’re on the road until 6 or 6:30, so we miss dinner. Not to mention we get extremely hungry since we have to wait so long until dinner! We usually end up stopping at a fast food joint (yuck, I know) because between my husband working a physically demanding job and my nursing, we’re unbearably hungry as soon as we get on the road. I would LOVE to win a copy so I could figure out something healthy to bring with us on the road every weekend for the next few months!

my biggest challenging with snacks is keeping up on making them. I should probably designate a snack making day once every 2 weeks or so to keep up the supply. When they’re gone we resort to quick, unhealthy stuff from the store….I think I’ll go make some granola bars now:)
We really miss all the snack bars and such that we once always had available but now don’t. It would be great to make healthy ones in our cupboards so we don’t always struggle with wanting to get something quick somewhere out. I’d love this e-book! We don’t have kids yet so it would be great to learn some recipes and prepare for that day when we’ll need lots more healthy snacks to go!
I also subscribe to both blogs, both on twitter, and both facebook fan pages. Does that give me 7 entries? I hope so! 🙂
I think some of the things I rely on for snacks take some planning to make (just like meals) but I typically don’t have a plan for making them. I need to schedule the soaking time or whatever into my meal planning for the week.

My biggest struggle with serving healthy snacks is coming up with enough variety, I have several things I give my toddler for snack which I know are nutritious, but I don’t branch out much from those few things 🙂 I would LOVE to win a copy of this book, it would be extremely helpful and I love getting ideas that I can feel good about implementing for my family.

My biggest difficulty is finding the time to bake healthy snacks. I seem to be able to get healthy meals, but it is difficult to fit one more thing in. So we mostly eat fruit and other things that don’t need to be made separately. I would love to be inspired with some new recipes.

My biggest challenge is finding time to bake. My kids love fruit, but they eat so much of it that we run out quickly. I’d love some ideas for quick snacks to have on hand when we’re in between trips to the produce stand.
My biggest struggle with healthy snacks is planning ahead. When I do try to plan snacks, then my struggle is finding recipes that are healthy AND work with our food allergies (family allergies are dairy, egg, peanuts and tree nuts). I would LOVE to have this book!

Oh man, I would love to win this! We are on the go all the time, and it’s so hard to come up with good snacks. I’ve mostly resorted to buying not so healthy to-go snacks from the grocery store because I figure they are slightly more healthy than fast food…which is what we’ll end up with if I don’t bring a snack 🙂

My greatest struggle is individual packaging-once I make these lovelies for my kiddos I feel really good about it, but then become frustrated because I don’t know how to package them so they are convenient-yet environmentally friendly.
I would be delighted to have someone else’s inspiration for snacks from a traditional foods focus! I can make almost anything myself but sometimes I just get tired of coming up with new ideas and default to easy… which often comes up short in the actually-nourishing-for-you category. My youngest son was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year and it has become even more important to make sure we always have a snack on hand for those low blood sugar times.

Snacks are where it is easy to fall back into the “processed” routine…and we have. We eat non-processed real foods for every meal except for snacks. This might help me with some, real snacks that I can make ahead of time to avoid the processed snacks.
This is an area I definitely struggle in – I do a pretty good job with meals, but when we are on the go . . . it’s processed or from a restaurant – rarely good choices. I would love to win this book!

finding healthy convenient snacks, my kids will like is my biggest challenge!
One of my biggest struggles is that I have 4 children under the age of 4. 2 of them have many medical issues so we are constantly on the road at least one hour each way to appointments. Spending this much time in medical offices seems to make my kids even hungrier than normal:) 2 of my kids have many food intolerances, this book would be a huge help for me:)
Thanks for all you do
I am new to most of this and am trying to take baby steps, but I am being met with resistance from most of my family! They are used to eating processed foods, so are very skeptical of eating healthy for every meal/snack. Trying to find things they like is very difficult, but it’s going to be my summer project, and now that I know more, I can’t go back with a good conscience.
I just subscribed to Keeper of the Home, and found you through Kitchen Stewardship (which I recently subscribed to).
This book would be a great next step for my family on our healthy eating journey. On the go snacks are something we really struggle with.

I’m so glad I stumbled across your site! It’s become such a foreign and unappealing concept today for women to place such a high importance on serving their husbands, as though it makes them inferior. I’m thankful to have found someone who understands the importance of our God-given role and gifts as keepers of the home. I’m newer to the whole foods lifestyle, but am excited to keep learning from your wisdom. :o)
Finding time is hard, but good ideas–snacks that are not too sweet–are hard for me too.
My problem with snacks is that when I look at the cupboards…everything needs to be cooked. And I only have ideas for sweet snacks.

Oh, I’ve been wanting to win this e-book! I’d love to be able to make more of my snacks and have them ready ahead of time. Thanks for doing this giveaway.
I would love a bunch of snack recipes but I am curious are there instructions for soaking grains (oats, nuts, etc). I have trie to look for granola bar recipes but none so far have soaking instructions. Thanks
My toughest part with healthy snacks to have variety and a ready-made supply at work. Especially now since I’m dealing with 1st trimester nausea, so I’m eating All. Day. Long.

I’d love to win a copy of this e-book. I have five children, and we homeschool. Snacks are tricky, because after making all of our meals, I often feel like I’ve run out of ideas for making more food for snacks. I don’t buy many convenience products, so we’d love some new, creative snack ideas –using healthy, affordable ingredients!
Oh, I would definitely love this book! For me the hardest thing is coming up with healthy snacks that are readily available so I can grab them on the go. Plus, I tend to get in a rut with choices. Sure, grabbing an apple is easy but I get tired of eating apples every day. Plus, they aren’t always available local. I would love to have more ideas of things I could make ahead of time. The bars sound delicious!

I need all the help I can get with getting my family to eat healthy snacks. I am still learning how to make wholesome food and they don’t always get excited with my experiments:) This would be great help.

I struggle with serving healthy snacks because of 1.the vast age difference in my children ages 17, 4, and 2 years old. 2.Because of my boys having severe peanut and tree nut allergies. Thankfully my son has outgrown his egg allergy!!! Try finding a healthy snack that doesn’t have eggs and/or nuts!
OOOO please pick me. I am struggling with eating junk and want healthier alternatives to the garbage I keep buying. I need this change for my health. It is seriously in crazyland at the moment.

1. Healthy snacks are a huge struggle to me. I’m a single mom and I work full-time and by the time I get home I feel like I have no time to even look for healthy snack recipes. And even when I do the returns aren’t always truly healthy. So I just feel like I’m really unsure about direction in this area. We are pretty new to eating healthy and eating real food, so I’m still learning a lot on this stuff.

I follow Keeper at Home on facebook. My biggest challenge to healthy eating is my teenagers, who would much rather I buy sodas and chips!

My biggest struggle with serving healthy snacks is finding time (and energy) to make them. I have a 2 yr old daughter who gave up naps 2 mos ago and am 6 mos pregnant! Good timing huh? Seems like when I make a healthy snack, it is gone in a hurry and then it’s back to our yuck store-bought crackers….
We could really use more variety. It seems like when I find something that works for us, I end up burning us out on it, so a fresh supply of ideas would be really welcome!

I just subscribed to Kitchen Stewardship also. Looks like a great resource!
My biggest challenge in having snacks available for the children is keeping ahead of them. With eight sons who want to eat nonstop, not to mention four daughters who would like a little too every now and then, food prep is a continuous task if I want to keep it healthy.

I have now subscribed to receive your emails, as well as following on Facebook. You books look like just the thing to help transition my two teens to healthier food choices. We have made a lot of changes over the past few months, all in our quest for a healthier diet and planet, and way of living, but some days my boys are close to mutiny! I talk to them a lot about our food choices, but some days it falls on deaf teen-aged ears! I am loving this new community of like minded people, at last I feel like I am not alone on this path!
I need to have snacks available to tote in the car. With one son in high school and one son in junior high, we are constantly on the go between homeschooling activities. My older son is doing much of his work at outside classes and the junior college and my younger son is usually seen doing his schoolwork in the car. We often don’t have time to come home for meals between things.
My husband works at a large tech firm with snacks and soda at hand all the time, so I need to make sure I am sending healthy real food with him to work. He frequently gets stuck in meetings and such and fast easy snacks are the only thing that keeps his metabolism going! But I need snacks that are not high in sugar, and I can only send so many celery sticks!

My biggest struggle is the time to make it. We are a gluten free family now and so even lots of healthier options available when we are traveling are now not okay for us. Good recipes that are already figured out would be SO helpful!

The biggest struggle for me with serving healthy snacks is the thinking ahead time required – I am more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kinda girl. So I need all the help I can get in the planning ahead so that there are great choices for my girls. Thank you for what you do to help those of us who are always searching for better ways.
Looking forward to reading through this book.
My kids are pretty good about snacking on fruit at home, but I struggle with having healthy snack on hand for grab-and-go – I’d love to have more ideas than just string cheese and Cheerios.
I follow you on Twitter.
The hardest part is finding a REAL healthy recipe to begin with, and then having the time to put it together. With six kiddos, time is not abundant 🙂

I am extremely interested in exploring your site. As a local food activist and real food advocate myself, I am always looking for great, affordable, and simple ideas for preparing food. I am especially interested in portable food, since there is really NO PLACE in a hundred miles from my home, where I can buy fresh organic food. I have made so many concessions over the past year, it has really had a significant impact on my health.

I clicked on the link to follow kitchen stewardship on facebook, and it took me to her page, but I didn’t see a follow button, so I’m not sure if clicking on the link above automatically signs me up or not?

As a mom of 6, I’m always running an errand here and there. I’d love a book of ideas for healthy snacks to make ahead so whenever I head out the door, I can pack the snack for the car. Something to feed them when they tell me they’re “starving”. Thanks!
My biggest challenge for having healthy go to snacks is…TIME! I run out of it…:) I need some help! God BLess..
I would love this book. I have two struggles in this department. One is making all this good healthy food on a tight budget. Another is finding snacks that please my hubby’s palate.
Shalom, This sounds like a really good book for my young daughter in training. Although we follow a very healthy lifestyle, my almost 14 year old daughter who loves to bake always seems to favour sweet desserts and snacks which are not always healthy. I do give in once in a while. we are working on making better choices. This would definitely be a good fit for her. I’ve subscribed to keeper of the Home.
congrats on your book!

My 5yo is in process of diagnosis of hypoglycemia. I would love to learn to serve her healthy snacks….granola bars and chips probably aren’t going to work anymore. It wouldn’t hurt the other 3 kids to learn to eat healthier, either.
