Springtime and the snacking is easy.
As the temps continue to rise and we inch closer to summer, we are all about finding snacks that can satisfy our cravings while also benefitting our bodies. As the old saying goes: Get you a treat that can do both, and we are here to help you do just that. Not all heroes wear capes, but they do fight the good fight against "hanger," one plant-based chocolate bar at a time.
We've assembled a jampacked lineup of goodies that will level up your pantry and turn your fridge into the coolest destination this season. From seasonal overnight oats in nostalgic flavors like carrot cake and peaches and cream to an upgraded bagel that has more protein than your average omelet, there is something for everyone among our list of powerhouse products.
Check out 15 snacks to add to your pantry ASAP this spring.
Mush Carrot Cake and Peaches and Cream Ready to Eat Oats (2 8-Packs)
Spring is in over at Mush and the cult favorite overnight oats brand is delivering two seasonal offerings. Back in rotation for a limited time is the beloved Peaches and Cream, a dream made up of coconut milk, rolled oats, peaches, apples and a hint of sea salt. But making its debut is the surprisingly nostalgic Carrot Cake, which unexpectedly pairs carrot and pineapple for a thickly textured treat worthy of your Easter dessert table...if it can last in your fridge that long.

With four functional flavors—Lemon Poppy for beauty, Cocoa-Almond for energy, Vanilla Tahini for detox and, our personal favorite, Chocolate Fudge for metabolism—Sakara provides the perfect eat to combat your 3 p.m. slump, providing 2 grams of protein per bar. Plus, with ingredients like sea buckthorn, ashwagandha root and blue spirulina, you are benefitting your gut, skin and hair, while also satisfying your cravings. Look at you go, you multi-tasker.
Hippeas Rockin’ Ranch Tortilla Chips
PSA: You will be unable to resist eating this entire bag of perfectly seasoned chips, made with chickpeas and packed with plant-based protein and fiber. But, because we are in a sharing mood, we will let you know we like to crumble these atop our salads or grain bowls as a secret weapon of flavor and texture. (PSA No. 2: The other flavors—Straight Up Sea Salt and Jalaleno are Vegan Cheddar—are just as satisfying.)
Honey Mama's Birthday Cake Blonde Truffle Bar (12-Pack)
Feel free to have your cake and eat it too with Honey Mama's first-ever blonde offering that is part of its celebratory cake series.

The three options—Chocolate Reishi, Turmeric Lemon and Matcha Cookie Crunch—are the perfect addition to any breakast bowl, thanks to superfood ingredients like ashwagandha for healing and lion's mane for thinking. (Yes, those are real ingredients made from edible mushrooms.) Of course, eating it by the handful straight out of the bag is an endeavor we respect, admire and encourage.

Sourse Collagen Treatment Bites
If you would have told us when we were kids that we could one day wake up and eat chocolate under the guise that it would also benefit our hair, skin and nails, we would have demanded you invent a time machine and take us to the future. Well, at least it was worth the wait to discover Sourse, the company that is out to make your daily rituals more delicious. Their prebiotic cocoa-covered offerings turn your supplements into a snack that contains biotin, collagen and protein, so send our apologies to M&Ms, but we have a new favorite chocolatey morsel.
