Back to School Fruit Snacks

This 2023 back-to-school snack roundup looked at four portable options for lunchboxes, after-school activities and busy days. Product formulas, flavors and availability can change, so check current labels and retailer listings before buying.

Ocean Spray Snack Medleys

Ocean Spray Snack Medleys combined dried cranberries with fruits such as blueberry, pineapple or mango in single-serve pouches. At the time of this roundup, the format made them an easy option for lunchboxes or on-the-go snacking. They could also be used as a topping for yogurt, oatmeal or salads.

Forager Project Kids Cashewmilk Yogurt

Forager Project Kids Cashewmilk Yogurt was included as a dairy-free pouch option. The 3.2-ounce pouches were offered in flavors including Berry Berry, Strawberry, Mango and Peach. The product information available for the roundup listed probiotics, calcium and vitamins D, A and B12; current nutrition information should be confirmed on the package.

Fuel For Fire Protein Fruit Smoothies

Fuel For Fire offered shelf-stable fruit smoothie pouches designed for portable snacking. The lineup covered whey-protein and plant-based varieties, making the format relevant to families looking for a compact snack that did not require refrigeration before opening. Protein amounts, ingredients and available flavors may have changed since 2023, so verify the current label if those details matter to you.
