Unique Snacks That Can Technically Fit in Your Pocket

Go, go, go! That sums up life sometimes, doesn’t it? You may not start each day shouting it, but the way plans keep stacking up sure makes it feel like a whirlwind.

But no matter how busy you get, you still need to eat. It seems obvious because you need food to keep going, yet many people forget about it during the day.

Don’t wait until you’re hangry before you realize you need sustenance. Plan ahead and pack snacks or mini-meals so you can have something ready when you need to eat.

The key to bringing snacks with you as you move through your day is portability. If you have pocket-sized foods set aside to grab before you head out the door, you’ll be set. 

Keep in mind that these snacks might technically be able to fit into your pocket, but that doesn’t mean you’ll want to keep them there. But, if they’ll fit in your pocket, you’ll also be able to keep them in just about any bag.

Lorissa’s Kitchen Meat Snacks

When you want some protein in a savory, quick snack, Lorissa’s Kitchen beef sticks are the simple solution. Each stick is individually wrapped and only one ounce, which makes it easy to put in almost any pocket.

But beyond portability and convenience, our beef sticks pack huge flavor and contain six grams of protein in each stick. They’re slow-smoked and seasoned with simple ingredients, so you’ll get a snack that’ll keep your taste buds happy.

Seasoned Hardboiled Eggs

You might not want to keep these in a coat or pants pocket because, let’s be real, they don’t always have the friendliest smell. But hardboiled eggs are small and easy to bring anywhere!

These little things are a fan favorite whether they’re eaten in salads or on their own. They’re so beloved because they have a unique mild flavor that accommodates many seasonings.

And to make things even better, hardboiled eggs offer good nutritional value, too. A 50-gram hardboiled egg contains 77.5 calories, 6.3 grams of protein and 25 mg of calcium.

Chickpeas

If you’re in the mood for some crunchy munchies during the week, roasted chickpeas can be a game-changer.
There are plenty of pre-made options at grocery stores, but you can also easily make them at home. There are  some simple recipes online, but here’s the gist:

1. Take a can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
2. Drain and dry them out
3. Lightly salt and drizzle them with olive oil
4. Cook them in the oven for 30 minutes

Pretty straightforward, right? Give it a try whenever you have a mellow day at home.

Fruit Cups

This is another one that could technically fit into a pocket, but you wouldn’t want to try it literally. Only because you could risk the fruit juice leaking onto your clothes!

Fruit cups are compact and easy to bring with you on the go. They may not contain as much protein as other snacks, but they’re a healthy option that tastes delightfully sweet.

Granola Bites

Circling back to homemade options, granola bites are tasty and can give you a little boost of energy when you’re running around all day.

Granola bites can be made without baking. You just mix all of the ingredients together, form them into bite-sized balls and put them in the refrigerator to solidify until you’re ready to grab them for the road.

Granola bites often utilize wholesome ingredients such as oats, flaxseed and peanut butter. But you can also include some sweeter items like chocolate chips or honey.

Charcuterie Bags

Charcuterie boards have gotten huge in recent years. And why not? They’re a breeze to make and feature simple yet delicious foods like crackers, deli meat and sliced cheese.

But one of the biggest reasons people love these boards is because they remind them of snacks they’d eat back during their childhoods. They provide a fun bit of nostalgia during tough times.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have a charcuterie board with you when you’re hustling all day? Oh, wait, you can! Just take all those delectable items and put them into a sandwich bag.
