As stoners know all too well, 4/20 is fast approaching. And if you live in a place where you’re legally allowed to celebrate the Weed Holiday, you’ve probably already stocked up on your favorite all-natural, mind-altering substance. But one equally important, 4/20-friendly necessity you might have forgotten? Healthy(ish) stoner snacks.

Who among us hasn’t consumed an entire six-pack of Insomnia Cookies in less than a minute while under the influence? (No one? Just me? K.) The munchies are a very real thing, so don’t sell your future self short; stock up on some kind of snack before lighting up this Saturday. That snack can be anything you want it to be. Cheez-Its, Cinnamon Toast Crunch and, of course, Insomnia Cookies are great candidates for 4/20-friendly snackageBut they’re also all so damn rich they could leave you with a serious stomach ache by the time you’ve reached the bottom of the box.

You don’t have to care that much about healthy eating to appreciate the value of a munchie yummy enough to satiate your taste buds, but light enough to keep you from feeling like vomiting for hours after you’re done eating it. Which is exactly why healthy-ish (emphasis on the ish) stoner snacks are on the menu this 4/20—and really, any other day you feel like celebrating your dear friend Mary Jane.

This frozen grapes recipe calls for sugar and champagne, but I’m of the mind that you can stick to the basics (popping some grapes in the freezer and calling it a day) and still have a snack worth indulging in.
