Whole fruit and fruit-flavored snacks are not the same thing, and that is fine. Both have a place if you know the difference.

Whole fruit

It brings fiber, water and natural variety. Offer it first whenever you can, at meals and between them.

Fruit-flavored snacks

They fill a different role: convenient, shelf-stable and fun. Read the label for sugar and ingredients, since the name alone says little.

The balance

Use both. A serving of Punchies has under 4g of sugar and flavors from organic fruit, but it does not replace a real piece of fruit. See www.punchiesprotein.com.

A simple rule

Fruit most days, gummies as a small extra. Related reading: A kids' snack board with protein gummies on gourmetproteingummies.com.
