Today, by popular request we’re tackling some of the best healthy snacks at Target. Target has come a long way with their food options in the past several years and there are tons of great snack options. Here are a few of our favorites.

As always, this is not an all-inclusive list and not everyone will agree with all the snacks on the list. When I’m looking for snacks for my family, I try to focus on options that have at least 2g of both protein and fiber, as well as ones that are lower in added sugar. I typically aim for 6g of added sugar or less per serving but do make exceptions, especially if the snack is also a good source of protein and fiber. I also look at the sodium content.
