We're Bringing Back Adult Snacktime — Here's Everything We Taste-Tested

Sometimes, regular nut mixes just don't cut it. These plant-based variety packs from Wanderlands make for the perfect road-trip snack if you need an extra boost (without the extra illegible ingredients). This pack features three unique blends: savory Into Snowy Woods, smokey Mineral Creek Wilds, and earthy Mesa After Rain. ($38.97/3-pack, Wanderlands)

Forget what you know about regular beef jerky. These certified gluten-free, zero-sugar sticks come in five different flavors so they have a little something for everyone. We're talking buffalo-style chicken, classic beef, lightly peppered turkey, cilantro lime turkey, and spicy beef. No dip required. ($12.99/5-pack, The New Primal)

This isn't the same fruit leather you used to munch on in between classes. This non-GMO, vegan dried fruit jerky is a personal HQ'r favorite. They have zero added sugar so you won't suffer from any sort of crash, plus they're made with only three (count 'em, three) ingredients total. (Unknown, Amazon)

These perfectly soft, not-too-chewy bars will kick your crumbly granola bars to the curb. Each flavor is plant-based, non-GMO, and sweet enough to enjoy as dessert. They come in over 20 flavors, but we're partial to their apple pie oatmeal flavor. (Unknown, Amazon)

Raise your hand if you grew up eating toasted plain waffles on the go and calling it "breakfast." These thin, honey-infused waffle sandwiches pack enough gluten-free goodness to fuel your workouts or hold you over until your next meal, sans caffeine. Our advice? Snag that variety pack to give each flavor a try — especially the salted caramel one. ($9.99/6-pack, Honey Stinger)
