    1. Just Mango Slices

    Love dried fruit? You're in luck! Not only are these dried mangoes mouther-wateringly delicious, but they're also great for you, especially when compared to other sweet treats. Although they're certainly sweet, they're unsweetened, which means you don't run the risks associated with refined sugar . Plus, they offer 2 grams of fiber and a healthy dose of vitamin C for immune boosting properties, joint health, and more, which is why they're one of Samanth Cassetty, MS, RD, top choice for a healthy snack for TJ's, as she told Today .

Just one half-cup serving of this satisfying snack packs in 8 grams of protein and 4 grams of fiber to keep you satiated. Other essential nutrients include iron and potassium.

    4. Strawberry Overnight Oats

    Oats are packed with incredible benefits for your whole body. In fact, they're one of the healthiest breakfast foods out there. And they don't have to be boring—or time-consuming to make. While we love making our own overnight oats at home to grab from the fridge on a busy morning, stocking up at Trader Joe's is a great way to cut out all of the work. These strawberry overnight oats are a fantastic option this June. "Each single-serve container has 5 grams of fiber—18% of the Daily Value. Notably, oats have a type of soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which is especially beneficial for reducing cholesterol levels," Isabel Vasquez, RD, LDN writes in Eating Well . All without added sugar—score!

    6. Tempura Seaweed Snack

    We love a crunchy, salty snack, but unfortunately, many of them offer virtually no nutritional value, making them a poor choice for your health. That's where seaweed snacks come in. As it turns out, seaweed is great for you ! That's why this Spicy Tempura Seaweed Snack from Trader Joe's is a fantastic option. "The seaweed flavor is slightly masked, so if you love sushi but aren’t a big fan of seaweed snacks, this snack has a nice balanced umami flavor. As a bonus, each serving has 2 grams of fiber, or 7% of the DV," Vasquez says.
