BEST OF THE SNACK POUCHES

BEST OF THE SNACK POUCHES

It would be an understatement to say that pouches are a go-to in my house. Pouches are one of the processed foods that I feel the least guilty about serving my kids, and there are several great options on the market made with whole, organic ingredients and Clean Label certified (tested for metals – which is not part of organic certification). Below are the brands that my kids love, and I recommend.

In general, I avoid brands that use juice concentrates as main ingredients. Concentrates are much more processed than the whole fruit and often stripped of fiber – one of the most important nutrients.
