I have three baby garter snakes, they are about 2 and a half months old by now and I've been feeding them diced nightcrawlers that I bought from a local bait shop. So far so good but I was wondering what would be the BEST thing for them.

My mom doesn't want pinkies in her freezer, so please don't post to eat pinkies and stuff, I've heard fish fillet is good but I am looking for a healthy diet that is fast and will be accepted quickly.

Guppies, Salmon, Tilapia. Those worms your feed are good stuff. Get some Calcium Supp. and twice a month add it in to the feed.
Amazon.com: Rep-Cal Calcium with Vitamin D3 (4.1 oz) PINK BOTTLE: Kitchen & Dining (http://www.amazon.com/Rep-Cal-Calcium-Vitamin-PINK-BOTTLE/dp/B00076HTQA)

If your buying store fish make sure you stay away for any Products of China.
If they are babies, 1 fillet could last a long time. Cut it into more manageable chunks. You can also mix in some worms with the fish for a good balanced meal.

If you can, try to find a herp specialty store. If you can't, then Petsmart or Petco should have a calcium supply, but so should any other pet shop that sells snakes, lizards, bugs, etc.
