“I want a snnnaaaccckkk!” I can’t tell you how many times my toddler says that in one day! And finding something healthy (that he’ll eat) is always a challenge. I recently wrote about the types of food we eat and how we grocery shop. Because we avoid things like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, and trans fats, we’re limited when it comes to packaged, convenience foods.
Clif Kid, who’s parent companies are Clif Bar and Luna, offers organic bars and twisted fruit. My son tries to get away with eating one fruit snack a day and I’m always concerned about the amount of sugar they contain. Clif Kid Organic Twisted Fruit is an “all-natural tangy fruit snack” in the shape of a rope. One “snack” offers a full serving of fruit. They’re free from artificial flavors, colors, preservatives and processed sugar. The true test is whether or not your child will eat them. My son would eat several if I let him. While they are made with fruit puree, they still contain sugar (from the fruit) so I have to limit how many he eats.
Clif Kid also offers Organic ZBars, a healthy, tasty twist on conventional granola bars. The bars are made with natural, organic ingredients like rolled oats, chocolate chips, and blueberries. Each bar contains 7-11 grams of whole grains and 12 vitamins and minerals. But you won’t find processed sugars, corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors or preservatives. Because they taste delicious, I was concerned that they would be high in sugar. One bar includes 10-11 grams of sugar, which is really not bad for a snack bar. I tried these with my son and our favorites were the Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Brownie, and S’mores. They don’t taste as healthy as they are and again, my son will eat them and I feel good about giving them to him.
One of the company’s five aspirations is “Sustaining Our Planet.” They aim to keep their impact on the environment as small as possible. Some of their initiatives include striving towards zero waste, reducing their carbon footprint, and partnering with organizations to conserve and restore natural resources.

We received a free sample of the Blueberry Z Bar and my 21-month old son loved it! He is a notoriously picky eater so I was beyond surprised when he gobbled it up. I’ll definitely be purchasing more! The S’mores sounds great 🙂
The Chocolate Chip and S’mores are YUMMY! They don’t *taste* healthy because they’re so good! : )
