Snack Smarter, Not Harder: How to Avoid Seed Oils Without Losing Your Mind

Snacks. Snacks, more snacks! We all love them, right? Trust me, I’m not here to tell you to give them up—but I am here to say, let’s be a little more selective about what we grab. Those brands with seed oils? Yeah, let’s skip those. I know it’s tough; I’m right there with you, practicing what I preach. I wouldn’t be telling you to do anything I’m not doing myself!

Now, I get it—your kids are seconds away from a meltdown, and reading labels feels like a full-time job. Believe me, I barely have the time either, but I do it anyway. Why? Because I don’t want to feed my family chemicals, and I know you don’t want that either!

So here’s the deal—I’m in this with you. You can always text me with your snack questions, and I’ll guide you through it. My mission? To educate, support, and keep us all snack-happy and chemical-free. I can’t do it for you, but I’m here to be your rock. And hey, if it gets rough, we can totally cry about it together. 🥲

I’ve really fallen in love with Thrive Market—it’s a game-changer. It makes checking ingredients so easy, and the price point, along with the Thrive Cash you can earn, is unbeatable. Plus, it saves your sanity and a dreaded trip to the store. So, grab your favorite herbal tea, settle into your comfiest chair, and get your grocery shopping done from home!

Just a quick tip—always read the labels! Even if one product from a brand is seed oil-free, that doesn’t mean they all are. Not sure what seed oils to watch out for? No worries—check out my other blog posts for all the info!

Here are my go-to replacements for chips, crackers and bakery items. My kids know the deal: if they don’t like something, no problem! I’ll keep searching until we hit that sweet spot. It’s all about finding the right balance, one snack at a time!

I’ve also started making baked goods like cupcakes and brownies using clean, seed oil-free ingredients. Having those treats around helps keep the peace—so my kids don’t end up hating my guts! We’re making healthier choices without sacrificing flavor or fun.

Now, we can finally enjoy snacks without worrying about poisoning ourselves or our kids! Can I get a big Amen to that? 🙌 This has been quite the journey—and I’ve only just begun! But let me tell you, it’s worth every second. We all feel so much better in the Scheets house! Healthier snacks, happier vibes!
