Good Housekeeping – Our Nutrition Lab tested hundreds of snacks to bring you the most delicious and nutritious picks for your grocery list.
The overabundance of new snacks and health claims throughout the grocery store can feel overwhelming. That’s why the Good Housekeeping Nutrition Lab pored over the nutrition facts, ingredient lists and flavor profiles of hundreds of snacks, including drinks, bars, crackers and more. Then, we enlisted dozens of taste testers to help choose the winners (tough job!). The result? Our 45 top picks that excel in nutrition and taste.
