6 Satisfying Snacks That Are Purse Friendly

When you have a busy day ahead and aren’t sure when your next meal will be, having a purse-friendly snack handy can save you from feeling weary. But if your purse is crowded, you may be wondering what the best, most satisfying snacks are to keep in your purse.

Whether you’re looking for something sweet, savory or crunchy, we’ve got some great ideas for you. Here are some of the best-packaged snacks that you can easily keep in your purse for a quick energy boost.

What Snacks Should I Keep in My Purse?

Purse snacks are all about quick convenience, but they should also be enjoyable and satisfying. When you’re on the go and need to take the edge off your hunger, a snack in your purse can help you stay fueled until your next meal.

While you may have your favorite at-home or work snacks, there are several key things to keep in mind for purse snacks: 

• Portable and compact: We all know the struggle of downsizing our purses. There are essentials you can’t do without, which makes adding additional items a pain. For purse snacks, choose options that are lightweight, non-bulky and sleek enough to fit into your bag.
• No muss, no fuss: Purse snacks should be easy to pull out and enjoy no matter where you are or what you’re doing. Choose a snack that doesn’t require preparation, has little-to-no cleanup, and won’t leave a mess in your purse. 
• Flavor options: Choose a few favorites that offer a variety of flavors and textures, so you don’t get bored with your snack choices.
• Nonperishable: While you may love yogurt cups or veggies and dip, these satisfying snacks can spoil when kept in your purse all day. Select snacks that don’t need to be refrigerated and are safe to keep at room temperature.

1. Lorissa’s Kitchen Beef Sticks

When you need a purse snack that’s delicious, tender and a quality source of protein, look no further than our Original Beef Sticks. Made from 100% grass-fed beef, these succulent sticks have six grams of protein per serving to help you reboot.

Thanks to their slim shape, beef sticks are easy to store in your purse and eat when you’re short on time. Slow-smoked with a mouthwatering blend of simple seasonings, your tastebuds will celebrate each delicious bite.

Plus, each stick comes in its own convenient package, helping to keep your purse and hands squeaky clean. When you only have seconds to head out the door, nothing’s easier than grabbing a beef stick and tossing it into your purse!

2. Fruit Leather

Fruit can be a nutritious and flavorful snack, but is typically too bulky to fit in your purse. With fruit leather, you get the delicious taste of fruit in a tight, slim package. 

Made from blending different fruits into a smooth puree, the mixture is spread out flat and dried. The result delivers a chewy texture and blast of flavor that’s fun and easy to eat. From mangoes to strawberries, fruit leather offers a delightful variety of flavor combinations to keep your tastebuds entertained.

Lightweight and compact, you can easily slip fruit leather into any of your purse’s compartments no matter how full your purse gets. It also has a long shelf life when packaged in an airtight container, allowing you to store it in your purse for days.

3. Granola Bars

Whether you’re on a road trip or running errands all day, granola bars are perfect for traveling. Easily found at any grocery or convenience store, you can find a flavor and style that satisfies your personal tastes.

For your purse, we suggest granola bars that are soft and chewy rather than dry and crumbly. This will prevent crumbs from scattering all over your lap, floor or the seat of your car.

4. Dark Chocolate Squares

Have a hankering for chocolate? Then try keeping some dark chocolate squares in your purse. Slim and compact, a few bites of dark chocolate work wonders for alleviating hunger.

Just keep in mind that chocolate can melt. If you know you’re going to be out in exceedingly hot weather, save your chocolate squares for another day.

5. Dried Fruit

From apricots to cranberries to banana chips, dried fruit can be enjoyed in all shapes and sizes. This quick energy snack has plenty of calories to help fuel you as you trek through the woods or canoe on the lake.

Dried fruit is dehydrated, which concentrates its natural sugar content. The amount of sugar will vary from fruit to fruit. Buy it in bulk at your grocery store and pack it into airtight containers to keep it fresh.

6. Seed Mix

You’ve heard of trail mix. You’ve heard of nut mix. But have you ever tried seed mix?

A mixture of crunchy seeds can last in your purse for a long time. You’ll never have to worry about them getting smashed or weighing down your handbag. Just be sure to store them in a sealed container or bag so they don’t accumulate on the bottom of your purse.

Seeds also provide an abundance of flavors to choose from. From salted to roasted to raw, you can try different combinations to avoid boredom.
