Best Healthy Kids Snack Fruit: Brothers-ALL-NATURAL Fruit Crisps

The kids in our snack test rundown thought these snacks were the best fruit-based snack: Brother’s All Natural Fruit Crisps. And they are quite tasty!

These snacks have only 8 grams of sugar, which is naturally occurring from fruit, not added later. Only 40 calories per serving (a serving size is one bag). Here’s more:

What We Liked

• 7 flavors: Asian pear, banana, Fuji apple, Fuji apple & cinnamon, peach, strawberry, strawberry banana.

• The apple flavor was most popular. 

• Simple ingredients. No added fat or sugar.

• Low in calories.

• No additives, preservatives or dyes.

• Gluten free, peanut/tree nut free, soy free, dairy free and non-GMO.

What Needs Work

• Could be crispier. Most kids liked the texture of these snacks, but a minority thought they were too spongy.

• Pricey. And some flavors are more expensive than others.

• Not processed in the USA. These snacks are processed overseas and that concerns some folks. So, just an FYI.

Best Healthy Kids Snack Fruit Rolls: Wildmade Fruit Rolls

These fruit rolls were a hit with our testers—yes, they have half a serving of fruit per roll with no added sugar. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Very yummy. And this from some kids that are picky eaters.

• No added sugar.

What Needs Work

• Pricey.

• More like a fruit stick than a roll. 

Best Healthy Kids Snack Variety Pack: Healthy Snacks Care Package (20 ct.)

As parents, we know that even the best snacks can get boring after a while—a variety pack of healthy snacks is a nice way to spice things up.

We tried out several different boxes that contained a variety of healthy snacks before deciding that Premium Penguin was the best bet.

What We Liked

• 20 different snacks.

• Giftable. This variety pack arrives in a nice gift box.

• Variety of textures: crunchy, chewy and everything in between.

What Needs Work

• Not for kids with food allergies. Yes, some of the items in this box contain milk, peanuts, tree nuts, gluten and dairy.

• Some snacks repeat.

• Mostly healthy but a few items stray more into the traditional snack category (read: more sugar or salt).
