BEAR Real Fruit Snack Rolls - Gluten Free, Vegan, and Non-GMO - Strawberry - Healthy School And Lunch Snacks For Kids And Adults, 0.7 Ounce (Pack of 12)

Ingredients for the strawberry packs are apples, pears, strawberries, and black carrot extract. No weird chemicals or added sugars here. That's not to say that there ISN'T sugar because there certainly is, but it's naturally occurring sugars in the fruits. In fact, most of the calories in this snack are from the carbohydrates (including sugar) and there is 0 proteins and vitamins other than potassium. So is it a HEALTHY snack in that sense? No. Is it full of carcinogens that will build up in your body over the many years of eating crap to eventually kill you? No. That last reason is why I personally purchased and enjoy these. They were not the texture I was expecting having grown up on fruit-by-the-foot. They're a bit tougher and chewier, and there are also often still some tiny seeds but once you get used to that, the flavor is delicious. They make great snacks at work, school, and on lazy weekends at my desk. Each comes with a cute "postcard" that I quite honestly toss after reading the cute info, but they would be a lot more exciting for a child probably. The value is there too. For the strawberry pack I paid 8.99 for the 12 packs and each has two little rolls. It's hard to find that kind of price on GMO-free and all natural ingredient snacks, so I'm very pleased. Overall, I'm in love with these, but for specific reasons. If you're looking for low sugar snacks high in protein and vitamins, this is not for you. If you don't care as much about the sugars and just want more natural food, look no further.

If we have to add more sweet snacks for my kids who are more welcoming to that idea, we would rather have them fruit and plant based and with natural flavors. For that, it is not unexpected for these to cost more than your average fruit snack pack. However, this isnt more expensive than similar product brands like Annie's homegrown or Sprout. These are 2 fruit rolls in 1 packet and each roll isn't too long (less than froot by the foot!) so my kids could share a pack or have 1 each without overindulging. It passed the taste test and the kids love it! My oldest also commented that these aren't sticky like other fruit strips out there. Each pack also comes with a cartoon animal card playing a sport with a fun fact (total 50 to collect). I bought the 12 count pack and would replenish with the 30 count pack now that they are "kid approved" which would save me about 10 cents per pack. They are so convenient for short trips and errands with them.

I expected these to taste like strawberry. What a fool I am, of course they don't. They taste like every other bear fruit snack, just with a faint hint of sweetness. I like the whole all natural thing they have going on here, but can they please try different blends of bland apples and bland pears and bland whatever else their main mix is? Either that or use a nice mix of fruits with actual flavor. The best applesauce is made with different types of apples all mixed together. Anyway. These are fine. They taste kind of bland and like fruit. They come with these adorable collectable cards about different animals that are more interesting than any of the flavors managed in the fruit snack, but nobody's perfect. I probably would order these again, despite my disappointments in the tastebud department. They're fun to stick a whole roll in your mouth and chew it. Nom nom nom.

Perfect low calorie snack for all age groups. I love how few ingredients there are. I love that these come on little collectable animal cards with a mini activity. This is fun even for me (an adult). I like these better than fruit by the foot, they are not too sweet. I also love the lack of artificial dye.

Odd taste

My son and I LOVE these. The flavors are real, natural and nothing is artificial. However, the one thing I would recommend is a lower price. These things are so expensive for what you get. I get it quality costs more but there are two tiny little rolls in the packaging. I wouldn’t consider this to even be a “snack.”

Remember having these in school but not this brand. They were truly disgusting. Kids might enjoy them but i didn’t find them good. I ordered them awhile ago so idk if i didn’t fully read they were gluten free and vegan but I’ll definitely start reading lol.

Some of these reviews have gone and bonked their darn heads. These are delicious. Yes they are "small", but they are a snack. Each pack is made of paper, not plastic! Each pack has two foot long fruit roll ups which I split between my 2 and 4 year old whom are always asking for one, because they really are that good, even my 9 year old loves them! The little descriptive notes on the inside are really informative and consists of animals too and I've had many different ones pop up, not just the 3 or 4 that someone said, but again, this is extra! We pay for the snack, not for the cards. This little non toxic snack makes me feel so happy to have on hand and the fact that its packaging is made out of paper and won't seep plastic into the food is a big reason I will continue to purchase these. BTW, I rarely leave reviews, but felt I needed to leave one since so many others were complaining.
