Look on the label of the “fruit snacks”. Do you see “fructose” near the top of the ingredients list? If so, then you’re loading your kids up with a substance that *will* make them fat (or fatter).

If you are going to pack a snack with lots of calories, your best bet is to go with something with a higher fat and lower sugar content. That will make your kid feel full faster, and they won’t have a tendency to overeat or get the munchies later.

Have dealt with the same issue at our house, and I found some “fruit snacks” that are actually good for you. Costco carries a variety pack of these:

which are good (well, me and the stepson think so; my wife hates them) AND good for you.
