Packing a lunchbox or snack box for kids can be a challenge, especially when you want to keep it healthy, plant-based, and exciting.

Whether you're preparing for school, a day out, or an after-school treat, these tips will help you create a balanced, kid-friendly snack box using Nudie's delicious plant-based crisps.

Nudie Crisps are made from real vegetables like cauliflower and sweet potato, offering a nutritious alternative to traditional potato chips. They come in a variety of flavors that appeal to young palates, from mild sea salt to tangy sour cream & chive. In this guide, we'll show you how to combine these crisps with other wholesome foods to build a snack box that's both fun and nourishing.

Why Nudie Crisps Are Perfect for Kids' Snack Boxes

Nudie Crisps are an excellent choice for kids because they are made from real vegetables, baked or air-fried to a crispy perfection. They contain no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, and are free from common allergens like gluten and dairy. This makes them a safe and healthy option for children with dietary restrictions. Plus, their fun shapes and satisfying crunch make them a hit with even picky eaters.

Flavors like Cauliflower Crisps - Sea Salt and Sweet Potato Crisps - Sour Cream & Chive are mild and familiar, making them easy to introduce. For adventurous kids, you can try the Sweet Potato Crisps - Variety Pack, which includes a mix of flavors to keep snack time interesting. Each serving provides a good source of fiber and vitamins, so you can feel good about what you're packing.

Building a Balanced Vegan Snack Box

A well-rounded snack box should include a mix of carbohydrates, protein, healthy fats, and fruits or vegetables. Start with a base of Nudie Crisps for crunch and flavor. Add a source of plant-based protein, such as edamame, roasted chickpeas, or a small container of hummus. Include fresh fruits like apple slices, grapes, or berries for natural sweetness, and a vegetable like cucumber or carrot sticks. For healthy fats, add a handful of nuts or seeds (if age-appropriate) or a small portion of avocado.

To keep portions right for kids, use a bento-style box with compartments. Fill one section with a serving of Cauliflower Crisps - Katsu Curry (Sharing Bags - 80g) for a mild curry flavor, another with hummus and veggie sticks, and a third with fruit. This variety ensures your child gets a range of nutrients while enjoying the fun of different textures and tastes.

• Crisps (carbs + crunch): 1/4 cup of Nudie Crisps per snack box
• Protein: hummus, edamame, or roasted chickpeas
• Fruits & veggies: apple slices, berries, cucumber, or carrot sticks
• Healthy fats: nuts, seeds, or avocado

Kid-Approved Nudie Crisps Combinations

One of the best ways to keep kids excited about their snack box is to offer variety. Try pairing Sweet Potato Crisps - Sour Cream & Chive (Sharing Bags - 80g) with a creamy dip like vegan ranch or guacamole. The tangy flavor complements the dip perfectly. For a sweeter option, pair Cauliflower Crisps - Sea Salt with apple slices and a drizzle of peanut butter (if no allergies). The saltiness of the crisps balances the sweet fruit.

You can also create a DIY snack mix by combining different Nudie Crisps flavors. Mix Cauliflower Crisps - Katsu Curry with Sweet Potato Crisps - Sour Cream & Chive for a sweet and spicy combo. Add some pretzels or popcorn for extra crunch. This mix is great for on-the-go snacking and can be stored in a reusable bag for school trips or playdates.

• Crisps + dip: Sour cream & chive with vegan ranch or guacamole
• Crisps + fruit: Sea salt crisps with apple slices and peanut butter
• Crisps mix: Katsu curry + sour cream & chive + pretzels

Tips for Making Snack Boxes Fun and Engaging

Kids are more likely to eat their snack box if it looks appealing. Use cookie cutters to shape fruits and vegetables into stars, hearts, or animals. Write a fun note or include a sticker. Let your child help choose the Nudie Crisps flavors—offer a choice between two options to give them a sense of control. You can also involve them in packing the box, which builds excitement and teaches healthy habits.

Another idea is to theme the snack box around a favorite book, movie, or holiday. For example, for a 'rainbow' theme, include red strawberries, orange carrot sticks, yellow bell peppers, green cucumber, and blue berries, along with a serving of Cauliflower Crisps - Sea Salt for a neutral crunch. This makes snack time an adventure and encourages kids to try new foods.

• Use fun shapes for fruits and veggies
• Let kids choose their crisps flavor
• Theme the snack box for added excitement
