Snacks are good… bulk snacks are even better. So, next time you hit up Costco, look for some of these healthy Costco snacks to help you hit your macros and reach your nutrition goals.
Why Shop at Costco for Healthy Snacks?
Buying in bulk can be cost-effective if you stick with foods you know you’ll eat that have a long shelf life. So, when it comes to healthy snacks from Costco, we’re limiting our suggestions to foods that don’t require refrigeration and are easy to throw in your bag or stash in your car for emergencies.
Top 8 Healthy Costco Snacks To Try
Costco is always changing and rotating through brands. So, we’ve included a bit of info (and the macros) for our healthy Costco snack picks that will make it possible for you to feel confident choosing options as things inevitably shift.
1. RX Bars
Calories: 210 calories per 52g bar
Macros: 23-24C | 12P | 7-9F
Why we love it: RX bars have minimal ingredients (what you see on the front of the package really is what you get) and taste delicious. They make a great pre- or post-workout snack. Plus, the dual pack of RX bars allows you to choose the flavor you want!
2. TRUBAR
Calories: 190 calories per 50g bar
Macros: 23C | 12P | 8-9F
Why we love it: This is another minimally processed option but provides a plant-based alternative. TRUBARs are certified vegan and gluten-free. An added bonus? Who doesn’t love cookie dough and donuts?
3. pure organic Layered Fruit Bars
Calories: 60 calories per 18g bar
Macros: 15C | 0P | 0F
Why we love it: Made with real fruit puree and no artificial ingredients, choose from three different delicious flavors. Because of their 0g fat and protein macros, these bars are a great pre-, post-, or intra-workout boost to get more carbs in your day. We love a single-source macro option to help us round out any needed calories.
4. CHOMPS
Calories: 100 calories per 32g stick
Macros: 0C | 10P | 7F
Why we love it: These sticks may be small but pack a satiating punch. The combination of protein and fat in each serving will help you feel full and hold you over until your next meal.
5. Archer Grass-Fed Beef Jerky
Calories: 70 calories per 28g serving
Macros: 5C | 10P | 0.5F
Why we love it: made with real ingredients and grass-fed beef, Archer’s Jerky comes in tons of delicious flavors. This is a lower-fat protein option than the beef sticks above, so you can double (or even triple) up serving sizes if you need a little extra protein! Just remember to drink plenty of water to account for the sodium.
6. bare Apple Chips
Calories: 60 calories per package
Macros: 14C | 0P | 0F
Why we love it: Much like the layered fruit bars, these apple chips provide a carb-only option if you need a boost. But you’ll likely feel fuller after finishing a bag of apple crisps as they’re a bit higher volume. bare makes its chips with organic apples and provides two different flavors to choose from in this big box of 20!
7. Fa!rlife Protein Shakes
Calories: 150 calories per 340mL bottle
Macros: 4C | 30P | 2.5F
Why we love it: These don’t need to be refrigerated until after you open them. So, they’re easy to store and keep on hand for when you need a protein punch. Plus, who doesn’t like chocolate? With a high protein (and lower fat and carb) count in every bottle, these are a great way to get 30g of protein without impacting other macros too heavily.
8. Kim Nori Seasoned Seaweed Snacks
Calories: 20 calories per 4g packet
Macros: 1C | 1P | 2F
Why we love it: These seaweed snacks are a great, low-calorie option if you need something to crunch on. Keep on snacking without racking up the calories and macros!
