That’s It

When it comes to feeding a family, finding snacks that please everyone can feel like a never-ending challenge. Kids want something tasty, adults want something nutritious, and everyone wants convenience. That's where variety packs come in—they offer a curated selection of flavors and textures, making snack time simpler and more enjoyable for all. At That’s It, our variety packs are designed with families in mind, combining real fruit ingredients with the fun of discovery.

Whether you're packing lunchboxes, stocking the pantry for after-school cravings, or looking for a healthy option during road trips, the right variety pack can be a game-changer. In this guide, we'll walk you through what to look for when choosing a variety pack, highlight some of our most popular options, and share tips to make your family's snack routine both delicious and nutritious.

Why Variety Packs Are Perfect for Families

Variety packs solve a common problem: snack fatigue. When you buy the same flavor every time, even the most delicious fruit bar can start to feel boring. A variety pack introduces new tastes and textures, keeping snack time exciting. For families with multiple children, it also reduces arguments—everyone can pick their favorite without fighting over the last one.

Beyond variety, these packs often offer better value per serving compared to buying single-flavor boxes. They're also ideal for portion control, as each bar or crunchable is individually wrapped. This makes it easy to toss into a lunchbox or grab on the go without overindulging.

• Reduces snack boredom by offering multiple flavors
• Great for portion control and on-the-go convenience
• Often more cost-effective than buying separate single-flavor boxes

What to Look for in a Family-Friendly Variety Pack

When choosing a variety pack, start by checking the ingredient list. Look for snacks made with real fruit and minimal added sugars—especially if you're serving young children. Our fruit bars and crunchables are made from whole fruit purees, with no artificial flavors or preservatives. Also consider dietary needs: gluten-free, vegan, and nut-free options are available.

Next, think about texture preferences. Some family members may love the chewy consistency of fruit bars, while others prefer the crispy crunch of crunchables. A good variety pack should include a mix of textures to satisfy different palates. Finally, check the pack size—larger boxes are great for big families or long-term use, while smaller packs work well for trips or sampling.

• Prioritize real fruit ingredients and low added sugar
• Consider texture: chewy bars vs. crispy crunchables
• Choose pack size based on your family's consumption rate

How to Incorporate Variety Packs into Your Weekly Routine

Variety packs aren't just for lunchboxes—they can be used in creative ways throughout the week. For breakfast, crumble a fruit bar over yogurt or oatmeal for added sweetness and fiber. For a quick afternoon snack, pair a crunchable pack with a handful of nuts or a piece of cheese for balanced energy. You can even use them as a healthy dessert alternative after dinner.

Another tip: involve your kids in choosing which flavor to try each day. Let them pick from the variety pack and talk about the taste. This not only makes snack time more interactive but also encourages them to explore new fruits and flavors. Over time, you might discover new family favorites.

• Use fruit bars as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal
• Pair crunchables with protein for a balanced snack
• Let kids choose daily flavors to make snack time fun

Comparing Variety Packs: Fruit Bars vs. Fruit Crunchables

Both fruit bars and fruit crunchables offer unique benefits, so the choice depends on your family's preferences. Fruit bars are chewy, portable, and great for on-the-go snacking—they won't crumble in a backpack. They're also more filling due to their denser texture. On the other hand, fruit crunchables are light, crispy, and feel more like a treat, which can be especially appealing to younger children.

If you can't decide, consider buying both types in variety packs. That way, you'll have options for different occasions: bars for school lunches and road trips, crunchables for home snacking or as a salad topper. Many families find that having both on hand reduces waste and keeps everyone happy.

• Fruit bars: chewy, portable, and filling—ideal for travel
• Fruit crunchables: light, crispy, and fun—perfect for home
• Combining both types offers maximum flexibility

Choosing the right variety pack for your family doesn't have to be overwhelming. By focusing on real ingredients, texture variety, and pack size, you can find a snack solution that works for everyone.
