Customer Rating: Summary: The kids LOVE them (and so does Mom!) Comment: In the spirit of helping my children learn that healthier eating DOES NOT necessarily mean no more treats, we got a couple of these on a Buy 1, Get 1 deal at a local store. We packed them for lunches on a few different days as a treat, and they have been requested ever since. They taste delicious, according to the kids.
As for Mom, I like them because they are much more healthy than the standard high-fructose corn syrup laden "fruit" treats that are typically marketed for kids. We tried the Clif Z-bars first (rave reviews) and then moved on to these. It says a lot to me that these children's treats were among the first to comply with California's more strict school-lunch laws. I have no problem keeping these stocked in the pantry for an occasional treat, and the kids have no problem eating them! Customer Rating: Summary: So Yummy! Comment: These are so yummy, you would swear they are candy. But they're not...they're wholesome organic fruit with no sugar or other bad stuff added. It's amazing...I've finally found a delicious snack that's 100% healthy, too! Customer Rating: Summary: Mikey Likes It!!!! Comment: I have yet to find a kid that does not LOVE these fruit twists!!! Even the pickiest of kids seems to love them. They are healthy, delicious and made with really awesome ingredients! Also, they are great for diabetic kids to keep in their backpacks for when their blood glucose levels get low. The only flavor I did not care for was the pineapple... but it was still leagues better than the any of the fruit roll-ups brand. Customer Rating: Summary: My kids love them Comment: My kids are skeptical of some of the "healthy" snacks I buy but these are a huge hit. Customer Rating: Summary: Good Alternative to Candy Comment: I have been eating Clif Bars for years now, so when I saw that they were making fruit snacks I had to give them a try. Each stick is individual wrapped and has 70 calories all from Carbs, there is also a gram of Fiber, some Potassium and a few other vitamins and minerals for good measure, so compared to just 100% sugar candy, this is not too bad of a choice. The sugar is also from Organic Juices so you don't have to worry about pesticides or preservatives or anything like that.
As far as the taste, they are a little tart, but not too bad. They are very chewy and sticky, one of my friends has braces and they had a very hard time eating this without most of it just sticking somewhere in the braces. So all-in-all, I would recommend these if you like chewy fruit flavored candy and want something better, but you should still use them sparely because eating just carbs only gives a very short energy burst and then without any healthy fats or proteins you crash soon after, so have a handful of nuts or something similar to help balance out the components some.
