Best Budget-Friendly: Black Forest Organic Fruit Snacks

Delicious! That’s what our panel of taste testers thought of Black Forest’s Organic Fruit Snacks. And an added bonus: these snacks were much easier on the wallet than others we tested (on a per ounce basis).

What We Liked

• Mix of flavors.

• Soft texture.

• Yummy!

• 70 calories per serving. 

•  Gluten free, fat free.

• Vitamin C (70% RDA).

What Needs Work

• Not vegan.

• Contains corn syrup, coconut oil.

• 13 grams of sugar. That’s higher than most other organic fruit snacks we tested.

Best Vegan: Annie’s Organic Bunny Fruit Snacks

We tested organic fruit snacks with both kids and adults. For the kids, this was their favorite: bunny-shaped, gummy like snacks made with real fruit juice.

What We Liked

• No artifical flavors.

• Vegan!

• Gluten free

• Vitamin C 100% RDA.

• 70 calories per serving.

• No high fructose corn syrup.

What Needs Work

• Texture too firm for some. We thought they were easy to chew, but others said they were too sticky.

• Pricey.

Best Nut-Free: YumEarth Organic Fruit Snacks

Yes, some organic fruit snacks include coconut oil an ingredient. If you are allergic to nuts, we’d suggest YumEarth’s organic fruit snacks—they are nut free. Here’s more:

What We Liked

• Very tasty!

• Vegan. There’s no gelatin in these snacks.

• No GMO’s.

• No nuts. No peanuts, tree nuts.

• Organic, natural colors. 

What Needs Work

• Texture is a bit hard.

• 12 grams of sugar per serving. Yep, that is more (sugar per gram) than non-organic snacks like Welch’s have!

Best Crispy: Brothers-ALL-NATURAL Fruit Crisps

Yep, most organic fruit snacks are chewy. If you crave something crispy, we’d suggest this one based on our taste tests: 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 folks 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.
