Twice as Mighty: Mission MightyMe Earns Second Consecutive Good Housekeeping Best Snacks Award!

Two years, two back-to-back wins, one mighty mission! That’s right, thanks to all of our amazing mighty families, we did it again: Mission MightyMe has been named a Good Housekeeping 2026 Best Kid & Baby Snacks award winner. Following our 2025 Good Housekeeping award for our Mixed Nut Butter Nutty Puffs, our newest product Mixed Nut Butter Cinna-Berry Banana Nutty Trail Mix is the latest snacktime superstar to be recognized with this prestigious honor. The full list of awards can be found on goodhousekeeping.com/snacks2026.

With an abundance of new snacks and health claims arriving on shelves every day, it can be overwhelming for shoppers to figure out what to add to their grocery carts. That’s why the registered dietitians in the Good Housekeeping Institute Nutrition Lab and its team of culinary experts rigorously analyzed the ingredient lists, nutrition facts labels, packaging claims, and flavor profiles of hundreds of snacks to find the best of the best. Consumer testers weighed in on taste and provided additional real-life analysis. Winners were selected based on innovations in the food space that taste great and meet nutritional criteria. 

The 2026 Good Housekeeping Snack Award winners provide an innovative, tasty and nutritious snacking solution that meet the following criteria:

• Made with real and recognizable ingredients you can pronounce

• Highlight fiber-filled and protein-rich sources

• Free from trans fat and partially hydrogenated oils

• No artificial flavors or food dyes

• 300 calories or less per serving

• 10 g of added sugar or less per serving

• 400 mg sodium or less per serving

Good Housekeeping is famous for its rigorous testing of ingredients and taste and this award gives us confidence that we’re not only creating snacks that make it simple for families to follow pediatric guidelines, but we’re also creating snacks that parents, kids, and experts love.  

“We started Mission MightyMe because the products we were looking for as parents simply didn’t exist,” said Catherine Jaxon, MightyMe Co-founder, Co-CEO and mom of three. “We partnered with the doctor whose research transformed feeding guidelines globally to create delicious, nut-based snacks that make it easy to include nuts in children’s diets early and regularly, as pediatricians recommend. We’re incredibly honored that Good Housekeeping has recognized our mission and our commitment to quality and nutrition for the second year in a row.” 

The Product: Mixed Nut Butter Nutty Trail Mix

Traditional trail mix has long been off-limits for toddlers due the choking hazard of whole nuts, so there's never been a trail mix for toddlers—until now. Mission MightyMe has reinvented the trail mix to help parents keep nuts in the diet consistently as children grow—and make snack time more fun.

Our Mixed Nut Butter Nutty Trail Mix is crafted with a wholesome blend of Mission MightyMe's signature, quick-dissolve Nutty Puffs (made with 5 nuts plus superfood sorghum), combined with freeze dried bananas, and organic berry yogurt melts. It’s a trail mix toddlers and big kids can enjoy and an easy way to keep a variety of nuts in the snacktime rotation. Nutty Trail Mix also comes in a Strawberry Peanut Butter flavor that combines Peanut Butter Nutty Puffs, freeze-dried strawberries and organic strawberry banana yogurt melts.

Nutty Trail Mix can be found in more than 1,300 Target stores nationwide, on Target.com and missionmightyme.com.
