Healthy Snacks in Singapore: What to Keep Within Reach, and Where to Buy It Online
Share
Most of us have two snack lives. There is the one in the photo, the neat jar of almonds on the counter. Then there is the real one: the 4pm drawer raid when a meeting ran long, and lunch was a sandwich at the desk.
This is written for the second one.
Everything Good sells four things. Dried fruit with nothing added, Mint Chewy Candy in gift tins, and two preserved fruit snacks built around dried mandarin peel. Everything is low in natural sugars with no artificial sweetener, halal certified, and free of animal derivatives. All of it ships across Singapore, free over SGD 40.
The Singapore snacks we celebrate, and the ones we actually eat
Ask anyone for famous Singapore snacks and you will get the same beautiful list. Bak kwa. Kaya toast. Kueh lapis. Curry puffs. Pineapple tarts at Chinese New Year.
We are not pretending to be on that list. Those are occasion foods, and they have earned their place.
But nobody eats kueh lapis at their desk on a Tuesday. The everyday snack is a different job entirely. It has to live in a drawer or a handbag, survive being forgotten for three weeks, and not require a plate. That is a much less romantic brief, and it is the one we build for.
What "healthy snack" actually means
It is a slippery phrase. Almost everything in a supermarket claims it somewhere on the pack.
So rather than claim it, here is what we can tell you plainly about ours:
-
Low in natural sugars, with no artificial sweetener anywhere in the range.
-
No added sweetener in the dried fruit at all. The sweetness is whatever the fruit brought with it.
-
No animal derivatives. That means no gelatin, no dairy, no shellac, no carmine.
-
Halal certified in Indonesia by BPJPH, which sits on the MUIS list of recognised foreign halal certification bodies.
Four things worth keeping within reach
Dried Fruit Pouches
Dragon fruit, banana, mango, watermelon and pineapple. Each pouch is a 100% harvested ripe fruits to ensure the quality and sweetness comes in naturally, in 50g and 100g.
This is the one worth slowing down on. The fruit is harvested ripe, which is the whole trick, because sweetness develops in the fruit as it ripens rather than being added later. Then it is dried thoroughly. Nothing goes in after that. No sweetener, no syrup, no coating.
What you are eating is fruit with the water taken out. That is the entire recipe.
The dried watermelon surprises people the most. Watermelon is almost all water, so what is left when you take it away is something quite different from the fruit you know.
Mint Chewy Candy
Previously sold as fruit pastilles, now Mint Chewy Candy. The gold tin, in Twelvw flavours including Loquat, Kumquat, Grape Seed, Longan, Passion Fruit, Mango, Watermelon, Lychee, Lime, Orange, Strawberry, and Red Dates. Loquat and Kumquat are the two people come back for.
Mint (Bohe / 薄荷): Used traditionally to clear excess heat, cool the throat, and refresh a tired mind. Sold previously as our fruit pastilles, these candies are noticeably lower in natural sugars than standard confectionery and contain zero artificial sweeteners, delivering a clean, cooling sensation without the heavy sugar crash.
The first thing most people say is that it is less sweet than they expected. That is deliberate. Low in natural sugars, no artificial sweetener.
These are made with a temperature control infusion technique. Heat is held steady through the infusion stage instead of being rushed, and everything is measured precisely rather than approximately.
That is what keeps the flavour running right through the chew instead of fading after the first few seconds, and what keeps the texture the same from the first piece in the tin to the last. It is also why a tin you forgot about still chews properly when you find it again.
Sour Plum with Orange Peel (陈皮梅)
If your palate is tired of sweet things by mid-afternoon, this sharp and tangy treat is the ultimate reset. Sour Plum (Wumei / 乌梅): Highly valued in TCM for its ability to generate body fluids and quench persistent thirst. It naturally astringes the intestines, helping to soothe the stomach, alleviate digestive discomfort, and support gut harmony. If you are looking for authentic sourplum singapore snacks, this provides the perfect functional, tart kick.
Dried Mandarin Peel (Chenpi / 陈皮): Aged mandarin peel is a powerhouse ingredient prized for its ability to regulate Qi (vital energy) and strengthen the spleen. It gently moves stagnant digestion, making it highly effective for relieving post-meal bloating, nausea, and internal dampness.
Waxberry with Orange Peel (杨梅陈皮)
This vibrant, deep red-purple treat pairs the complex tartness of waxberry with the digestive benefits of chenpi. Waxberry (Yangmei / 杨梅): A real fruit whose rich color comes from anthocyanins, which are potent antioxidants belonging to the same family as blueberries. In TCM, yangmei is considered a warming fruit that helps generate body fluids, relieve summer heat, and stimulate a sluggish appetite through its natural organic acids.

Questions people ask about healthy snack brands in Singapore
Which Singapore brands offer low-sugar pastilles?
Everything Good's Mint Chewy Candy, sold as fruit pastilles before the rebrand, is low in natural sugars and contains no artificial sweetener. For those days when you want a completely pure treat, our dried fruit pouches are the perfect choice. We believe in keeping things simple. That means no added sweeteners, no syrups, and no hidden coatings. Every bite gets its sweetness straight from the fruit itself, exactly as it grew on the plant. As a quick tip for finding the best healthy snacks Singapore has to offer, we always recommend checking the nutrition panel on any brand you buy. Sugar claims are highly regulated here, and that little table on the back is the ultimate truth teller.
What halal and vegan pastilles brands are available in Singapore?
This is where the field narrows fast, because gelatin is standard in most chewy sweets and pastilles. Gelatin is animal-derived, which rules a product out for vegans and makes it a question mark for Muslim shoppers unless the source is certified.
The plant-based alternatives are pectin, usually from citrus peel or apple, and agar from seaweed. Imported brands that use pectin, such as Bubs from Sweden, are sold here through specialist retailers.
Locally, Everything Good's full range is halal certified in Indonesia by BPJPH, which sits on the MUIS list of recognised foreign halal certification bodies, and contains no animal derivatives anywhere. No gelatin, no dairy, no shellac, no carmine. That covers the Mint Chewy Candy tins, sold as fruit pastilles before the rebrand, plus the dried fruit pouches and both orange peel snacks. One brand answers both requirements at once.
