If you’re looking for better snack options, check out this CLIF Kid Snacks Review.
It seems we are all getting more health conscious these days. Low fat, low carb, low calorie, even organic products are getting more popular. The rise in obesity in children has at least caught the attention of most parents. I know for myself, I try to be very aware of what my children are consuming. That’s why CLIF Kids Snacks caught my attention. CLIF Kid Snacks are full of flavor and nutrients without the processed sugars and preservatives.
CLIF Kids Snacks offers two different types of snacks: Organic Twisted Fruit and Organic ZBar. To make the sampling of these products more fun, we decided to do a taste test. I cut four small pieces off each Twisted Fruit snack which allowed the four of us to taste each flavor.
From left to right, the flavors are: Strawberry, Grape, Tropical Twist, Mixed Berry, Sour Apple, and Pineapple. I left the Pineapple twist whole in the picture to allow you to see the size of the whole twist. The results of the taste test concluded that all of us liked each of the flavors! I wasn’t crazy about the pineapple, but otherwise I liked them. When asked everyone’s favorite, my 6 year old Katie said Strawberry, my 4 year old Taylor said Grape, and my husband liked Pineapple and Sour Apple. I agreed with Katie when it came to favorites; the Strawberry was really good. These have the same consistency and texture as Twizzlers candy, only the Twisted Fruit snacks are softer and chewier.
We would have done the same taste test with the Organic ZBars, but Katie had the S’mores flavor as an after school snack before Jeff had a chance to taste it. Aside from that, the remaining flavors were also well received. From top to bottom, the flavors are: Chocolate Brownie, Blueberry, Honey Graham, Chocolate Chip, and S’mores.
The Zbar is made from all natural ingredients including rolled oats, blueberries, chocolate chips, and more. I was surprised to find the nutritional value of these Organic snacks: they include a blend of protein, carbohydrates, and fiber that work together to balance kids’ energy levels without crashing. CLIF Kids says they are basically what we as parents would bake at home for our children given the time.
We had alot of fun as a family tasting these delicious snacks. These snacks would make the ideal after school snack! I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is trying to feed your children more healthy snacks but does not have the time to make the snacks for your children.

We bought the twisted fruit for awhile and really liked it, then the next two boxes we bought were really sour. Disappointing. Miss having an easily packable snack-gluten free too! I wish more of Clif was gluten free. My husband loves their builder bars.

Those first ones look like a great alternative to licorice.
