Clif KID ZFRUIT - Organic Fruit Rope – Strawberry Flavor - Gluten Free - Organic - Non-GMO - Lunch Box Snacks (1.27 Ounce Energy Bars, 18 Count)

I buy these for my teen's school lunches and snacks, but we all like them and our small household managed to eat the whole box in just 5 days because they are so tasty and a good substitute for a fatty, high calorie dessert. My son has been eating these for years, and we've tried the variety packs too. All flavors are good, but the strawberry is our favorite. It's really flavorful, tart and sweet enough (15 grams of sugar) to satisfy a sweet tooth. The texture is soft and easy to chew. The ingredients are organic and all natural, but the funny thing is there's no strawberry listed in the strawberry rope ingredients. Instead, these are made of apple purée and apple juice concentrate with pectin, vegetable juice for color, malic acid and "organic natural flavors" (not in that order). These ropes have added vitamin C (20% rda) and iron (6% rda) and are a gluten free food.I'm never crazy about the generic term "natural flavors" as it can mean anything from fruit to liver, and companies always tell me it's a secret proprietary ingredient (though I haven't check with Clif). These ropes do taste like strawberry, so I'm hoping the natural flavors at least include some strawberry derivative, but my taste buds may be playing a trick on me. I trust Clif enough where I'll assume the natural flavors are not something disgusting, but I wish Clif and other companies would disclose the sources of natural flavors. Those with allergies or a special diet may want to inquire to make sure the "natural flavors" don't violate dietary restrictions. The "strawberry" Clif ropes are a delicious, sweet snack conveniently wrapped for school lunches or on the go, and it's a product I buy regularly. I'm rating them 4.5 stars (rounded to 5) as I recommend them but I'm taking off 1/2 star for the undisclosed "natural flavors."

I've been buying these for my kids (and myself) for a few years. I finally set up a monthly delivery so I can make sure we always have some on hand. I am always looking for healthy snacks that my kids like and that don't have nay added sugar or sketchy ingredients. These are perfect.I like the twist design of this. It makes it fun to eat and gives it some bulk. It's easy for my 2 year old to handle, although he does get a little sticky. The flavor is equally tart and sweet. I love it! These could easily be cut up in small pieces to double a fruit snacks for kids who have their heart set on that. At 70 calories I turn to these for a sweet treat when I'm having an overwhelming craving for sweets. I highly recommend these for a better alternative to fruit snacks.Strawberry twist ingredients: Organic apple puree concentrate, organic apple juice concentrate, organic natural flavors, malic acid, pectin, colored with vegetable juice.

These are such a great alternative to all those other "fruit snacks" that barely contain any real, actual fruit. Simple- just a couple ingredients, no chemical additives, no corn syrup or extra sugars, no artificial colors. My kids love them and I do too. It's a nicer texture (in my opinion) than the tougher, chewier fruit leathers. And they're easy to pack in a purse or small lunch box.If my review is helpful to you, please let me know by voting below.

While these fruit ropes are more on the pricier side for fruit snacks, they’re THE best fruit snacks I’ve had. They’re perfect for packing lunches and snacks throughout the day as a full time college student. The ingredient quality is amazing and definitely reflects in the flavor. I wish I could buy them in bulk as in my large family it’s easy to finish the box in a matter of days

We are a family of very picky eaters. So when the list for the school 'safe snacks' came out, we were extremely limited to what my children would eat during their snacks. I ordered everything off the list in an attempt to 'trial and error' what they would eat at break. Amazingly enough these were the hit of everything (this and Skinny Popcorn of course). Great tasting, the kids love them and they are perfect for adding to backpacks and lunchtime snacks. Will order again as soon as these run out. Picky Kid approved!

We love these fruit ropes! They are a great addition to my kids lunch boxes and I am happy to know that they aren't fluff a bunch of dyes and undesirable ingredients. They are delicious and my boys enjoy snacking on them. The price on amazon is very good and as always they arrive very fast! We will continue to keep them as part of our monthly subscribe and save order!

Overall a great product!

I order the strawberry flavor Clif Kid Zfruit twice a month because my grandson absolutely loves them!!!! I love the fact that they are healthy and do not have the fructose and other unhealthy ingredients.
