Hi Jenna,
My favorite on the go afternoon snack is apple slices with laughing cow cheese. I am also obsessed with the kashi dark chocolate coconut bars. I also wanted to say that I am so jealous of you! My husband and I visit Healdsburg every summer for our anniversary so everyday when I visit your blog I revisit some very good memories!
Trail mix, easy and portable!
I LOVE date-based bars (like larabars) for time-crunch snacks but a portable piece of fruit works great, too, like bananas or apples. Easy to toss in the purse.
I love lara bars as an on the go snack. They make me feel like I am not sabotaging my healthy ways just because I’m in a hurry!
I love cashews!
greek yogurt with oatmeal, granola, fruit or all of the above
its filling and holds me over until dinner!
apple slices sprinkled with cinnamon or pumpkin spice in a ziplock bag
I can’t deny the convenience of grabbing an apple for a snack, but adding a handful of nuts just makes it 100x better! I like to keep things simple…
My favorite on-the-go snack is some kind of bar with green tea! I’ve only tried the cherry cashew pure bar, but it was tasty. I also love cashew laras and z-bars. And although it’s not a very portable snack due to messiness, a banana with PB will always do the trick!
Almonds! They are easy to pack and easy to eat. I would love to win these Pure Bars, I have been wanting to try them!
I love to mix dates, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. It’s just like a fudgy chocolate brownie! Sticky and gooey and delicious.
Pistachios or cheese sticks, as of late (not together, though!).
I love fruit: an apple or a banana with some PB are excellent snacks!
I keep oranges and/or grapefruit peeled in ziplock bags in the refrigerator- citrus fruit provides a great afternoon snack!
Laughing Cow wedge + honeycrisp apple!
Mmm… yummy! I love to eat cereal on the go
Crunchy and usually a little sweet, too.
A giant, juicy honeycrisp apple!
I love to mix dates, cocoa powder, and peanut butter. It’s just like a fudgy chocolate brownie! Sticky and gooey and delicious.
fave on the go snack? probably a big ol’ apple or trail mix. you just can’t go wrong!!!
My favorite on-the-go snack is definitely dried apricots and plums. My friends always laugh when I pull them from the depths of my purse, but whatever, they’re delicious!
I am a fan of soy nuts and raisins…. In a reusable container, of course! No ziplocs here!
Apple and string cheese
when on the go, you can never go wrong with a Luna bar or a Lara bar with a piece of fruit!
perfect balance!
piece of fruit & almonds!
Dried fruit! Usually medjool dates or dried coconut, papaya and pineapple chunks!
I love the little pomegrante seeds with yogurt or I take disposable spoons, load them with some LF peanut butter and wrap them in plastic. Then i am ready to walk campus (I am a student) with spoon of PB and a banana! yum!
String cheese or yogurt! (add a handful of nuts in there, too!)
Carrot sticks and peanut butter. Very filling.
nutella + spoon. stick to the basics.
Almonds! You can’t go wrong! They are portable and filling, plus mix great with other things for trail mix!
That is a tough one, I have so many! Either a Almond & Coconut KIND bar, an apple, or a bag of some kind of delicious cereal…or all three
My fav on the go snack is either a piece of fruit or a larabar… or more recently, a GLO BAR!!!
oooooh – I want some. I love granola/protein bars.
Makes my office smell great!
My fave lately has been carrots and homemade hummus or mini bags of popcorn!
I like almonds or Swiss cheese and fruit. quick and easy. Thanks!
If it’s on the go like I’m literally walking down the street chomping down on the snack, a piece of fruit and some cheese (string, cubes, babybel, etc). Easy and the protein keeps the hunger away for a while!
My favorite by far is natural crunchy PB with a big banana. Easy but soo good.
String cheese and almonds
Banana and AB or PB! Delish!
I like to mush chocolate chips into a banana!
cheese sticks are definitely easy. i also love the mini babybel cheeses!
I love a crispy apple.
hmm i think larabars are my favorite, any flavor
I like to make my own trail mix with roasted, unsalted almonds and this dried cherry/berry mix I get at Costco.
…occasionally I may add a little chocolate to the mix.
My fav snack is a mini Luna bar with a tall Starbucks latte!
almond packs from trader joes. easy to grab and go!
right now it’s a honeycrisp!
So, my work schedule is skewed to the rest of the world, so my afternoon snack is more like my 8pm snack. It also has to be super fast and something that does not have to be refrigerated! My fall backs are almonds or energy bars, as both can be carried with me and bites grabbed whenever I have a spare moment.
I’m totally a bar/fresh fruit snacker–they are just so easy to transport! I’ve never tried the Pure bars though…
Greek yogurt with FiberOne cereal. The yogurt’s higher protein and the fiber make this a filling snack.
My go to afternoon snack is a Granny Smith apple and a tablespoon of honey peanut butter. Heck, if I’m being honest, I could eat that combo anytime.
An apple with a to-go pack of peanut butter for dipping! thanks for the chance to win.
Any kind of fruit that you can eat whole, apples, bananas, etc. are the best!
My fav… probably an apple! Or a baggie of plain Cheerios if I’m looking for something durable! LOL!
I like to chop up a sweet potato and pop in the microwave. Then I usually slather on some sunbutter before I head out the door.
-vegan, gluten free, sugar free, soy free and low GI!
The best part is it’s straight from the earth.
Apples!!
right now satsumas!
My go-to snack is usually a Larabar or yogurt and granola – something with healthy fats and a bit of protein to keep me satisfied until dinner.
An apple and a piece of cheese. Especially apples this time of year:)
I love almonds or bananas with peanut butter, yummy!
My favorite on the go snack is definitely and apple and crunchy peanut butter…I eat it straight from the jar!
Yogart always! Thanks for the opportunity, Jenna!
Baggie of Cheerios – 10 million kids can’t be wrong!
Dates with almond butter. MMM!
I love a nice fruit salad!! So refreshing
An apple and a cheese stick, or a Lara bar.
I would love to try some Pure bars! My favorite afternoon snack is probably a honey crisp apple with a handful of almonds. Simple and perfect as is!
im all for the bars on the go or mixed nuts and fruit! cant go wrong with either of those two things!
lara bars or toast with PB and banana slices! YUM!
I always carry a honeycrisp apple with me
I am a big fan of the Cliff Z-Bars – they’re made for kids but I love them since they’re smaller than a regular protein bar and all organic. (and delicious!)
Air popped popcorn, squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of chili powder. Yummy!
String cheese, mini Clif Bars, almonds, pears, Kashi bars…would love to try a Pure Bar!
Fave on-the-go snack would have to be almonds and a piece of fruit!
Apples are the perfect snack – anywhere, anytime!
My favorite snack is goldfish crackers and dry cereal.
greek yogurt w/10 almonds
Almonds and a banana have been my default afternoon snack lately. I always want something sweet in the afternoons!
Love to stuff a madjool date with sunflower butter and a sprinkle of nutmeg. It’s really yummy, you must try it!!

mmmm….definitely hummus and veggies!
Definitely apples! I love galas and fujis. (:
Hi Jenna,
I am a graduate student so I basically eat all of my food on the go. Snack wise I love mixing cereal with trail mix and munching in class. By cereal I mean Peanut Butter Puffins. By trail mix I mean a few peanuts and raisins, but mostly M&Ms.
My fave on-the-go snack is KIND bars – all natural, taste so good, and 5% of profits go towards organizations that foster global coexistence and kindness (such as Peaceworks). And they’re made in my homeland!
A simple banana does it for me. Kiwi’s also go well with a banana.
An almond butter banana sandwich. Slice a banana in half lengthwise and spread almond butter on bottom half and replace top half. Very easy to eat on the go!
Gah I love Pure bars! I went to college in Holland, MI so I will always favor them over other date/nut bars (plus they taste btter if you ask me
).
My favorite to-go snack is a trail mix of shredded wheat cereal, pecans, dried cherries, and chopped dark chocolate. So much goodness and so easy to eat at work or in the car!
I might have to say cashew, no trail…. oh heck I wanna try em all!
MA
Either an apple of banana smeared with peanut butter (or better yet – almond butter)! If I’m craving something more savory, then string cheese or Laughing cow with some low-fat Triscuits!
I love to keep bars at my office. Right now I have a file cabinet full of Larabars, but I would love some Pure bars

Banana and a glob of almond butter!!
I am a huge raw nut and fruit gal!

I like to keep some almonds in my purse… sometimes mixed with dried cranberries.

For a filling and tasty afternoon snack I like to bring a cut-up apple and a small container of peanut butter with me! I’m also a sucker for a Cherry Pie Larabar… I would love to try PURE bars!
An apple with peanut butter! Lately, only HONEYCRISP apples. Mmm
I’m a big LaraBar fan and love to have those as a snack. Although I’d be happy to substitute some Pure bars!

I love an almond butter+banana sammie. It’s on the go if you wrap it up and put it in a tupperware container!!

Trail Mix is my favvvvorite on the go snack. It is so easy to make and very travel friendly. My favorite combinations always include cashews, raisins, pistachios, dried apricots, and of course a little dark chocolate
.
I like a 100 calorie bag of popcorn. It takes awhile to eat and it’s low cal. Yum!
I love honeycrisp apples with a bit of peanut butter.
I like sustenance to my snacking! One of my favs is almond butter with thinly sliced apples and a sprinkle of cinnamon spread on a whole grain, high fiber tortilla. The tortillas are only 50 calories and provide an easy portable roll up “sandwich.”
I would say a banana and almond butter or a handful of almonds with a few dried blueberries mixed in would be my ideal afternoon snacks.

Larabars are my usual on-the-go snack, but I also love Trader Joe’s individually sized bags of raw almonds. I always have something in my purse in case hunger strikes!
I love pure bars. The brownie ones are fab. Bars are my go to snack because i am a busy full time worker and grad student and I don’t always have fresh fruit or veggies around. Bars are easily stashed in my purse for emergencies.

almond butter + banana = match made in heaven
String cheese or applesauce…YUM
If I have access to some hot water (even stopping at Starbucks and asking for a tall cup of hot water), I like to have a packet of instant Kashi Heart to Heart oatmeal.

String Cheese or cashews!
cheese cubes!

A latte!
My afternoon snack is normally fruit with cereal! Quick and easy!
Fave afternoon snack is a bowl of cereal with a PB spoon! I rarely eat cold cereal for breakfast because it really doesn’t fill me (unless I do the whole unlimited refills thang haha)–but I love having it in the afternoon with a big spoonful of nut butter for some protein/extra deliciousness!
My favorite afternoon snack is either a Clif Bar or an apple and almond butter! I love Pure Bars though!

2. Greek yogurt with granola and fruit.
3. Homemade trail mix! Pistachios, walnuts, peanuts, raisins, dark chocolate chips.
Thanks for the giveaways! Hope your ankle is better!
I love fruit, when it’s practical, but bars are so handy since they don’t need refridgeration, they stay good for a long time, and they are inconspicuous to eat!
Clif Mountain Mojo Trail Mix or GNC’s be-nourished bars
I love smearing a little almond butter onto dried peaches. SO good!
definitely yogurt with cereal and fruit. I have little stacks in my fridge of yogurt and then little plastic bags of cereal and tupperware containers of fruit for the week. I know the cereal doesn’t need to be refridgerated, but if it’s not next to the yogurt, I’ll forget it in the morning!
Definitely apples! I eat at least one a day, although most of the time it’s more!
Fresh veggies — easy to pack, lots of different tastes and yummy to dip, too. Mmmmm… Carrots, cucumbers and celery!
Almond butter and apples.
I love unsweetened dried fruit mixed with nuts
I have to agree with the nut butter and apple combo, perfect afternoon snack!

Apple slices w/ pb (very traditional) OR pomegranate yogurt with my homemade granola.
Apple or pretzels, love crunchy snacks!
packet of oatmeal and a banana!
Kashi Go Lean Crunch, with chocolate chips, and dried cranberries. Yum!
Larabars and Lunabars are my “grab and go” go-to items. Lately, I’ve been getting the Luna Sunrise bars rather than the regular ones — they are really good. My favorite is the Vanilla Almond.
I’ve never tried Pure Bars before but would love to do so. I might convert.
I have a few go-to snacks that I carry on the go. I love bars (though they can get pricey) and usually aim to grab a Cliff or Luna bar. I also love to simply grab a nice juicy apple with some nuts as a quick hunger fix. Even an Arnold’s thin with some nut butter and preserves does the trick quite nicely.
I love dried fruit and laughing cow cheese. It makes the middle of the afternoon feel special.
I like to keep it simple; When I’m on the go I usually grab an apple.
I carry Larabars with me in my car and purse for those moments when I just need something. I would love to try the Pure bars!
I like veggies w/ hummus, popcorn or a light smoothie:)
I’m a big fan of an apple and some nuts. Keeps me full for a couple of hours just in time to go home and make dinner.

greek yogurt and cereal!
katie anne
My favorite on the go snack is an apple!
A bar of some kind, like a Luna bar. I like them to be sweet to satisfy my afternoon sweet tooth that craves something truly decadent like a brownie or ice cream!
I’m one of those people that hits the 3:00 wall. I always have to eat a snack to push myself through it. My favorite is 3/4 cup nonfat greek yogurt with a cherry cashew PURE bar crumbled up in it. It give me the pep in my step back!
I’m a “throw an apple in my purse” kinda girl! Doesn’t get much portable that that!
Larabars, in any flavor!
Or PB2 and an apple.
usually and apple, along with some crunchy whole wheat crackers!
Love just grabbing a Red Delicious apple and going! The crunch and juice are such a treat!
I always have a Larabar or an apple in my purse for snacking.
A juicy organic apple and a small handful of almond!!
A great afternoon snack on the go is 2 graham crackers (cinnamon, chocolate, you pick) with lite cool whip in the middle like a smore. You can make these the night before and they are like ice cream sandwiches! Amazing.
Like clockwork I have an apple with almond butter or peanut butter…gives me just the boost I need to make it to dinner!
I love carrots and hummus!
I love honeycrisp apples with a slice of edam cheese, or a mini tupperware container of almonds and dried cranberries (from the atlantic spice co in cape cod!) that i always have in my purse.
Ants on a log! celery with peanut butter and raisins on top! easily portable..! You have your fruit, your vegetables and your protein in one snack!
Either a bar of some sort or an apple or air-popped popcorn with parm cheese!
Hmmmm……cameo apple with white cheddar cheese. Or chocolate covered raisins/cranberries…….or maybe possibly….shhh…..potato chips. Hey, you didn’t say it had to be healthy!
I love apples with almond butter – so yummy!
Trail mix, cereal or any bar is the way to go! Throw in a piece of fruit and it is perfect
It’s usually whatever fruit I have on hand. Or a Kashi granola bar. I love the pumpkin spice flax flavor.
I love Luna bars! My favorite is White Chocolate Macadamia Nut but Chocolate Peppermint Stick is a close second.
Whole grain bread and some AB–quick, delicious, and keeps me full!
an apple, a clif z-bar, or cereal is my typical afternoon go-to snack. i’d love to try the pure bars!
Apples!!!!!!! though larabars are a close second. especially the cashew cookie
A cottage cheese bowl with 1T preserves, 1/2 banana, and 1/4 cup GoLean Crunch!
I love to take pistachios and an apple on the go. Or a clif bar can usually be found in the bottom of my purse for emergencies. Hopefully this will change to Pure bars!
either a protein shake with a slice of ezekial bread with natural almond butter or a hard boiled egg with 3/4oz of cheese.
I love dried fruit. I also love pretzels with a little something to dip them into, hummus, bean dip, salsa. But on the go I love a good bar.
Have a great time in San Francisco.
I have this weird thing about variety snacking…I love apples, but sometimes I’ll feel compelled to eat a stuffed grape leaf or something after one.
My favorite on-the-go snack is an apple! I know it’s boring, but I LOVE apples and I live in CT where apples are plentiful this time of year. Nothing beats it!
I am a nurse and work 12 hours shifts….by about 4 pm, I am STARVING!!!! I rely on bananas and peanut or almond butter to keep me going until I get home! Sometimes a pack of graham crackers from our snack room too!
my top three are probably: almonds, apples, and satsumas.
Ahh I’ve always have wanted to try these bars, but they seem to be the most expensive ones in the stores. My on the go snacks are pretty lame – usually mini clif bars (probably just because they are cute).
I love throwing some carrots and hummus in a little container to take with me on-the-go!
i think i could subsist on hummus with carrot sticks and/or luna bars!
honey roasted soy nuts and dries cherries
I always have a Kashi bar or Larabar on hand, but lately cheese sticks have been hitting the spot for a great snack!
Oh yeah! I’ve never tried a PURE bar…can’t bring myself to shell out the $$! I’d love this! Thanks so much for the giveaway, hope you have a fabulous weekend in San Fran!!
My favorite snack of all are probably crunchy green tea or peppermint almond nougats (that are soooo hard to find in the US)!!
I go through phases but my current snack of choice is an apple sliced up and dipped in almond butter.
My favorite on the go snack is apples and peanut butter or the new s’mores goldfish! =)
Kind of weird, but raw fennel slices: it’s my go-to afternoon snack!
My favorite on-the-go snack is string cheese – it’s just as fun as when you were a kid.
I love Luna bars or a PB sandwich.
I always have a larabar in my backpack!
i absolutely love eating little kids fruit snacks as my quick snack before a run. they dont upset my stomach!
Almond butter rolled up in a pita pocket or tortilla – yum!! Or a PB sandwich – can’t go wrong there!!

I love yogurt mixed with cottage cheese and an apple! Yummmm
peanut butter on a luna bar. yum.
greek yogurt w/ cereal
An apple! Totally portable, filling, and easy.
I love granola bars, but they are so expensive, so I usually just end up eating PB&J sandwiches!
Smoothies, yogurt w/ granola, lara bars or string cheese.
Lara Bars are my favorite since they are so portable. But I would love to try some new bars. Thanks!
I have recently discovered pumpkin seeds. i buy them raw and roast them with salt! I eat these with an apple for my afternoon snack!
I keep a tiny container of almonds, dried apricots, sunflower seeds and dried cranb’s. in my purse for emergency purposes. I find eating little handfuls of things satisfies me since it takes me longer to eat it!
A big juicy applis my fav snack! Especially this time of year:)

Lately, my snack has been home made pumpkin seeds
In 2006 at when I moved out of the college dorms and into my own apartment at the ripe age of 18 and had to stop living off cafeteria food, I quickly learned how to make the most nutrient-dense foods on a really small budget. Having been raised vegan, I never had to think about nor really cared what my parents were preparing and how they were preparing it.
Once on my own, I immediately had my Mom send me some recipes from her cookbooks. Fortunately one of those cookbook’s was none other than Dreena Burton’s masterpiece Vive le Vegan! This cookbook literally saved me from subsisting off beans and rice from the moment I made the first recipe until I graduated. In fact, VlV! is still my first go-to cookbook when I’m stumped on what to cook.
My all-time favorite on-the-go afternoon snack would 100% have to be Dreena’s Energy Cookies (found on page 38 of Vive le Vegan!). Almost every week in college I would make a batch of these delicious cookie-muffin like babies and grab one when I was in hurry and running out of the door (as you know, the story of all college kids’ lives ^.^ ). Not only are they delicious, healthy, and chock full of nutrients, they are also extremely cost effective and you can add or take out any of the “fun” ingredients. For example: Don’t like raisins? Use dried figs!
If anyone is interested in veganism or is just looking for a new cookbook to try, I highly recommend Vive le Vegan! Dreena’s blog http://vivelevegan.blogspot.com/ also has great resources!

Apples and string cheese is my fav snack, and maybe some AB to round it out haha
Hey Jenna, thanks for the awesome giveaway!! My favorite on the go snack, for sure, is a peanut butter sandwich in between two slices of cinnamon swirl bread. YUM!
apples, or a z bar with grapes, and of course pure bars! mmm chocolate brownie
I love fage with any kinda fruit mixed in!!
Favorites are always hard, so a current fave is Trader Joe’s Organic Flaxseed whole wheat crackers with some laughing cow or a sharp cheese.
A pure bar
I also enjoy any type of fruit!
I love to grab something sweet and something savory… so for example, an apple and some dark chocolate. mmmm!
I rely on Vitamuffins!
Good golly…980?!
Apparently I live in a cave, because I’ve never had the pleasure of trying Pure or Larabars.
For me it’s essential that snacking is easy so usually it’s an apple with some almonds, or pb. If lunch was small, or dinner is going to be late I sometimes eat a hardboiled egg on a Wasa cracker with some cut up veggies.
Clif bars!!!! White chocolate macadamia nut is by far my favorite
homemade trail mix! Chocolate chips– Gluten free cereal, dried fruit, and cinnamon!
dark chocolate pre-run
Love to grab a larabar for my purse when I’m on the go.
I have been wanting to try Pure bars forever!!!
Hmmm… I have a snack every afternoon and I have to say my go-to snack is definitely greek yogurt mixed with any number of nuts, seeds, dried fruit, nut butter, fresh fruit, or even plain! SUCH a healthy and delicious pick-me-up snack.
dark chocolate pre run
My favorite travel snack is an apple with a BabyBel light cheese. Has enough fiber and protein to keep me full for a while, and tastes great!
banana and peanut butter!
I like to make my own trail mix with nuts, dried fruit, and cereal in baggies to go
My favorite new afternoon snack is trader joes vanilla greek yogurt with pumpkin granola yum!
My favorite “on the go” snack is a Sunbelt Chocolate Chip granola bar. They aren’t the healthiest thing in the world, but they are quick when you’re pressed for time!
wow. you have almost 1000 comments. That’s A LOT
. I’d have to say my favorite on-the-go snack would be an apple(boring I know) OR a Cliff z-bar(the honey graham flavor is my favorite).
Always a favorite…apples and peanut/almond butter. Or really anything with a nut butter!
String cheese or yogurt!
Can’t beat a simple apple, granny smith are my favorite! Love to pair it with a handful of cashews or some peanut butter for a little protein. I also LOVE Larabars!
hope I get to meet you sometime this weekend =)
I’d love to win some pure bars!
my favorite on the go snack is a plain chobani + a kiwi
