Assortment of grapes in a bowl.- Grapes
These are my favorite snacks; sweet as candy yet still fresh and healthy. Small crunchy grapes are perfect for popping into your mouth during class, and bonus points if they’re frozen.
- Dried mangoes
The most popular dried fruit: Dried mangoes offer a splash of tropical flavor. You can always count on the therapeutic effects of chewing at the soft dried snack. As a long-loved dried fruit, dried mangoes offer a quiet chewy snack perfect for snacking on during quiet work time.
- Boba
It is now in hot competition with matcha, a sweet milk tea, for the teen dollar, but chewy boba pearls are perfect for class.
- Shrimp chips
The crispiest chips there are. Almost like a crispy cloud, they melt once in your mouth. Flavored with a perfect amount of saltiness, the only downside is the occasional disruptive crunch that draws death stares from your teachers.
- Extra Spearmint gum
A classic that keeps your breath fresh. However, it comes with a twist: Once you pull out the pack, the person sitting next to you will definitely ask you for a stick.
- Sour Gummy worms
Personally, it is my favorite type of candy because of how chewy and fruity it is, even though the sour coating is not sour enough.
- Chocolate-covered gummy bears
Perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth and you get the best of both worlds in one snack.
- Chick-fil-a
Who doesn’t love Chick-fil-a? Though it might be difficult to smuggle into your backpack, they have the most juicy and delicious chicken sandwiches and crispy waffle fries.
- Hello Panda
Not only are these delicious, but they always bring a sense of nostalgia when I munch on them. The bite-sized cookies can be easily popped into your mouth whenever you’re looking for a quick treat.
- Goldfish
One of the best salty snacks out there. The only downside is that after eating them, you have a bunch of salt sticking to your hands and fingers — especially when you eat the extra blasted flavor.
