If you are looking for dye-free St. Patrick’s Day snacks, here is one easy idea, and I created a bag topper you can print out to make little gift bags.
St. Patrick’s Day Snacks and Free Printable
I was searching for healthy snack ideas for St. Patrick’s Day on Pinterest and was horrified that all I could find was treats full of green and rainbow-colored food dyes.
Artificial food dyes are really bad for our health, especially for children — food dyes have been linked to cancer, hyperactivity, and allergies.
That rainbow-colored cookie might look like fun, but I wouldn’t want my son to eat it, and I certainly wouldn’t make him treats with dyes.
So I came up with health, green St. Patrick’s Day snacks and my own goodie bag topper.

The two green snacks and chips without dyes I could find were Veggie Pirate’s Booty and Late July’s Organic Mild Green Mojo chips.
I put some into cellophane bags and stapled my goodie bag topper to it.
Here is the free PDF for my Be Green! goodie bag topper.
Then I added a shamrock sticker I bought.
Voila: you have a healthy treat in a pretty bag for St. Patrick’s Day snacks your kids or husband or party guests will enjoy!
If you don’t feel like printing out a bag topper, here is another goodie bag idea — with green muffin cups and some ribbon.
Feel inspired to make your own healthy St. Patrick’s Day snacks goodie bag?
Let me know if you do, and what you might use or add to your bags.
Pin this for later!
