The 13 Best Healthy Snacks in 2022: Eat This, Not That! Food Awards

Stash these winning items in your pantry for a tasty and nutritious snack anytime!

With a ton of restaurants closed, cooking fatigue still going strong from 2020, and nothing else to do but curl up on the couch and binge-watch yet another TV show, snacks became much more than comfort food during 2021. Snacks were one of the primary ways Americans nourished themselves.

While many of us gravitated towards childhood favorites (think sugary cereals or neon-colored chips) to satisfy our cravings, others were on the lookout for some more health-supporting options. Thankfully, food brands were on the same page—so much so that a whopping 100 new healthy snacks that launched nationwide between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2021 on grocery store shelves were nominated for the 2022 Eat This, Not That! Food Awards.

In the end, 13 snack products stood out from the rest with their impressive nutrition and great taste. Eat This, Not That! Medical Expert Board member Lauren Manaker, MS, RD, CDN, helped rate the products and choose the winners, then we taste-tested each one. Read on for our honest reviews—and to see where you can buy the winners!
