School is almost back in session, which means you’ll have to start waking up extra early to get the kiddos' lunches packed and ready to go (sigh). Between balancing the early morning wake-up calls and brushing your hair before running out the door, packing a well-balanced lunch (or some healthy snacks for your kids) can become an afterthought.
To take some of the stress out of your mornings, here are five healthy snacks from Costco to tuck into your kids' lunchboxes-trust us, they’ll thank you!

When the kids start complaining they’re tired of water in their lunchboxes, it can often be hard to find a replacement that isn’t full of added sugar or weird ingredients. Thankfully,Honest Kidsjuice pouches come in a range of kid-friendly flavors-such as Berry Berry Good Lemonade and Apply Ever After. What’s even better is water is the first ingredient, so you can feel good about throwing them into your kids' lunchboxes when you don’t have enough time to makeinfused water.

If you’re trying to stay clear of chips but know your kids will be looking for something salty, look no further thanSkinnyPoppopcorn. Although you can buy a 12-ounce bag for all of your snacking needs, Costco also sells a box of 28 single-serving sized bags that are perfect for throwing in lunchboxes. Aside from their convenience, these 100-calorie snack packs are a great way to sneak more whole grains into your kids' diets!

It felt wrong not to include something sweet on this list (after all, it’s for kids, right?) No lunch would be complete without something chocolatey, and we think these MadeGood Granola Minis are the perfect balance between healthy and sweet. With gluten-free oats and vegetable extract, these granola bites are packed with whole grains and vitamins. We’ve got our eyes on the chocolate chip flavor, but mixed berry also comes in the variety pack from Costco-perfect for switching it up so your kids don’t get bored of having the same thing every day!
