For the longest time, fruit snacks were primarily a fun way to satisfy a sweet tooth and help kids get more fiber, and with its Snackmode line, BloxSnacks is bringing protein into the mix. With six grams of protein and three grams of prebiotic fiber per serving, and no artificial dyes, these better-for-you protein fruit snacks bring more value to sweet snacking. Snackmode is set to debut through an exclusive retail partner this fall, in varieties like Mixed Berry and Strawberry & Raspberry.
Protein has become the wellness world's favorite word, and it's working its way into classic snacks for kids because fueling well is necessary for all ages, especially when days are spent growing, playing, and learning.
