As a mom always on the hunt for healthy snacks, I was intrigued by these Sesame Street-themed veggie straws. The first thing that caught my eye? The adorable Elmo packaging that instantly made my toddler reach for them.

The texture is satisfyingly crunchy - not too hard for little teeth, but with enough substance to make snack time feel substantial. I appreciate that they don't crumble into a million pieces like some toddler snacks do (car seat cleanup is hard enough!).

Flavor-wise, they're pleasantly savory with subtle veggie notes. My favorite part? No sugary aftertaste or weird artificial flavors. I've actually caught myself sneaking a few straws from my daughter's snack cup during park outings.

The individual 0.5oz bags are perfect for diaper bag emergencies, though I do wish they were slightly bigger. At a recent pediatrician visit, one bag kept my antsy toddler occupied through the entire wait - major win!

Watch out for partially sealed bags though - I had one spill in my purse. Pro tip: give each bag a gentle squeeze check before tossing it in your bag.
