5 Healthy(ish) Snacks From Walmart Under 500 Calories

We’ve done a few other posts like this one (Target pt 1 & Aldi’s & Target Pt2) was well received, so I decided to take a trip to WALMART and find five more healthy(ish) snacks under 500 calories.

The goal is to (1) find easy snacks under 500 calories per serving, and (2) make sure they are healthy (ish). That part is my own judgement call 😉

1. ONE Protein Bar – 230 Calories per Bar

2. SILK Dairy Free Yogurt – 140 Calories per Cup
