First, let’s be clear… The healthiest snacks at Walmart are probably going to be found in the organic produce section. Things like baby carrots, celery, fruit… you know the stuff. But today, we’re going to look at the seven healthiest snacks that you can find in the snack aisle. Snacks that actually satisfy that certain craving we all know so well…

Most Addictive Snack
Hippeas Organic Chickpea Puffs
These irresistible chickpea puffs are an organic, vegan, baked-not-fried alternative to classic Cheetos. And let me tell you… they are completely addictive. They come in a few different flavors, but the most popular is definitely the vegan white cheddar.
These tasty snacks are low in both sugar and carbs, while being high in protein and fiber. They contain zero artificial preservatives, and they’re also completely gluten free, nut free, kosher, and non-GMO. You can find them for just $3.28 per bag on Walmart.com.
Best Classic Snack
Annie’s Organic Cheddar Bunnies
This organic alternative to cheddar goldfish is one of the best-selling healthy snacks on Walmart.com. They’re made with real organic cheddar cheese and contain no artificial preservatives. They do contain a small amount of added sugar, though… So small, in fact, that it doesn’t even show up as a measurable amount in a single serving. Perfect!
Of course, because they contain real dairy, they are not vegan. They’re also made with wheat flour meaning that they are not gluten free. That said, if you’re looking for a healthy nostalgic snack to remind you of your elementary school lunchroom days, grab a box of these. Each 11.25-oz box is currently priced at $4.28 on Walmart.com
Best Savory Snack
Mary’s Gone Crackers Organic Superseed Everything Crackers
Another bestseller, these everything crackers are vegan, gluten free, organic, and made with whole grains. They have zero sugar, high vitamin content, and an impressive amount of protein for a cracker.
Imagine these rich crackers topped with a bit of salami and cheese. Or try dipping them in your favorite healthy dip or spread. However you eat them, they’re absolutely delicious and one of the healthiest snacks available at Walmart. They’re currently priced at $4.33 for a 5.5-oz box.
Best Kids Snack
Earth’s Best Organic Peanut Butter Baked Corn Puffs
These Sesame Street-themed snacks are a huge hit with kids, making them another one of Walmart’s best-selling healthy snacks. They’re low in both fat and carbs, and they contain zero sugar. (Not to mention that Elmo is on the front of the bag, so if your kiddos see them at the store, they’ll probably ask you to buy them anyway.)
Just be aware that these snacks do contain real peanuts, so they are far from nut free. That said, they’re 100% gluten free and contain just five ingredients. If you’re shopping online, you can find these for $3.63 per bag on Walmart.com.
Best Low-Calorie Snack
LesserEvil Organic Popcorn
Who doesn’t love a handful of popcorn? It’s arguably one of the best snacks ever invented, and it also happens to be one of the lowest-calorie snacks around, too.
This simple, clean snack from LesserEvil is made with just three ingredients–organic non-GMO popcorn, organic extra virgin coconut oil, and Himalayan pink salt. Three whole cups of this stuff only contains 120 calories, so it’s a great way to get your snack on without adding to your calorie load for the day if that’s something you’re watching.
This popcorn is both gluten free and vegan, and each bag costs just $2.98.
Best Gluten-Free Snack
Annie’s Gluten-Free Chewy Granola Bars
A gluten-free alternative to the classic Chewy bar, Annie’s Granola Bars are the best-selling gluten-free snack on Walmart.com. Unfortunately, they do contain 7 grams of added sugar per bar, so they’re not quite as healthy as the other snacks on this list. But they definitely deserve a mention for all the gluten-free folks out there. You can buy a box of five of these chewy granola bars for $3.98.
Best High Protein Snack
Chomps Grass-Fed Beef Jerky Sticks
Made with 100% grass-fed beef, these Italian-style beef sticks are the perfect high-protein snack to grab anytime you need a healthy protein boost throughout the day. They’re made with zero sugar and zero artificial preservatives, and the cows used to produce them are never fed antibiotics or hormones.
Each stick packs 9 grams of protein (plus zero carbs and just 6 grams of fat). They’re also keto-friendly and gluten-free and are currently for sale for $2.12 a piece on Walmart.com.
Does Walmart Have A Healthy Food Section?
If you’re shopping at a Walmart store in person, finding the healthy food requires a bit of searching. Walmart definitely stocks healthy items, including vegan, gluten-free, and organic items, but they’re interspersed with all of the other products.
To make it easier for shoppers, Walmart has started putting up signage throughout their stores to indicate where the organic foods are. Look for large or small green signs that say “Walmart Organics” above shelves or aisles where organic food can be found. Not all of the signs are green, so just keep your eyes peeled for the word “organic.”
It’s especially likely that you’ll find organic options in the produce section and snack section, but you can find at least a handful of organic or other healthy options in almost every department at Walmart.
When shopping online, Walmart.com has an organic produce department under the grocery tab to make it easy for shoppers ordering groceries for delivery or pickup. For all other grocery departments, simply search for what you’re looking for using the search bar. For example, you can type “organic snacks,” then click search, and Walmart.com will show you all of the products that fit into this category.
