Walmart Best Snacks

So what are the best snacks at Walmart? As a Registered Dietitian and mom of 3, here are some general guidelines I try to follow and recommend:

  • I try to choose snacks that have at least 2g of both protein and fiber most of the time.
  • I focus on making sure snacks include protein so if I have a snack like crackers or cereal, I pair it with a protein like yogurt or turkey etc.
  • I try to limit added sugar to 6g or less whenever possible. Occasionally 7-8g, but snacks with 9+ grams of added sugar or more are more like treats than snacks in my opinion.
  • I check the sodium content but it doesn’t always make or break my choices. Remember that 140mg or less of sodium per serving is generally considered low sodium.

With that being said, here are some of the best Walmart healthy snacks, in my opinion. I’ve tried to include some name brands as well as some of their Great Value store brand.

Walmart Protein Snacks

If you need protein-based snacks:

Walmart Individual Snacks

At Walmart P3 snacks and other convenience snacks like them are readily available. While these are fine occasionally, I highly encourage you to make your own to save money. You can easily buy a bag of cheese cubes, some nuts and dried fruit, a box of crackers and a package of lunch meat and recreate all of these for much cheaper!

Walmart Frozen Snacks

If you are looking specifically for frozen snacks here a few ideas:

  • Ian’s Fish Sticks
  • Great Value Edamame
  • Amy’s Frozen Burritos/Enchiladas
  • Tyson Chicken Nuggets/Patties
  • Red’s Chicken & Cheddar Burritos (a little higher in sodium than I’d like)
  • Siete Almond Flour Tortillas (to make quesadillas or tacos)
  • Kodiak Power Flapjacks

Walmart Diabetic Snacks

And in case you’re looking for the best Walmart snacks for diabetics specifically? I wanted to share a few that might be chosen by my husband who is a type 1 diabetic:

  • Simple Mills Almond Crackers
  • Great Value Cheese sticks
