The kids are getting ready to head back-to-school and here in our home…we are already preparing for Princess Gia’s final year in preschool. That’s right, this is her final year and next year she will be attending Kindergarten.
The Princess attends a private preschool and that means we have to pack her lunch for her to take to school. The school provides a mid-morning snack w/beverage and an afternoon snack w/beverage but lunches are up to the parents to provide.
Now that the kids are heading back-t0-school…it’s time to consider what we will be packing for lunch & the snacks to go along with it. This year…the Princess will be getting a lot of Welch’s Fruit Snacks with her lunches and today I wanted to tell you a little bit about them.
Welch’s fruit snacks are fat free, gluten free and contain 100% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C and 25% of Vitamins A and E. Made with real fruit and fruit juices and containing no preservatives. These snacks can be eaten alone or you can toss them into some cold cereal, oatmeal, yogurt, ice cream and other things.
For our review we received several packages of the Welch’s Fruit Snacks in a variety of different flavors. You can find them in Mixed Fruit, Island Fruits, White Grape Raspberry, Tangy Fruits, Berries ‘N Cherries, Fruit Punch and other delicious flavors.
Since it’s not quite time for school to begin just yet…Princess has been enjoying her fruit snacks right out of the bag or tossed into some yogurt. (yes, she is a BIG yogurt eater). I love that these snacks are gluten-free and contain Vitamin C which she definitely needs more of.
I would rather see Princess Gia eat more snacks like the Welch’s Fruit Snacks because they are certainly better for her than potato chips, pretzels and chocolate candy. Not only that, we like getting these snacks in the smaller sized bags which are perfect for portion control…another thing we all need to be teaching our children is to control their portions!!!
As your kids head back-to-school this year…don’t forget to purchase a few bags of the Welch’s Fruit Snacks and keep them on hand. They are great for snack time and great for tossing in with their packed school lunches. Thanks Welch’s!

I will have to give these a try. I like being able to sneak in some vitamins
My grandkids love fruit snacks too. I love that they have vitamin C in them and are gluten free. It’s great that they have so many flavors to choose from too.
These fruit snacks sound like a very good alternative to salty fattening snacks. Did you or Gia have a favorite flavor? Are they gummy snacks? I shall have to pick some up at the store.
