Healthy prepackaged snacks for school?

Looking for ideas for some prepackaged snacks I can pack for my kids for school that are not loaded with preservatives or sugar or whatever else. Packing snacks/lunches for 3 kids every day obviously can get challenging, so I'm trying to make things a little easier. I've already gotten packaged organic apple slices, bags of pretzel sticks, pirate's booty, goldfish. I'd like to avoid cookies and fruit snacks. Any suggestions? TIA!

Greek yogurt, mini carrots, grapes, mini muffins, flax crackers with cheese cubes. I also send in kind bars or Lara bars if I'm rushing.

Enjoy Life brand has a great trail mix that's good (safe - allergen free) for schools. It's mostly seeds and dried fruit, but one flavor also has mini chocolate chips so DS thinks of it like it's a treat.

Check out costco and bjs - they often have small snack sized containers of things like hummus and peanut butter (if allowed) - great to dip pretzels in.

Supermarkets have those peel-open packs of carrots or celery with ranch dip.
