That’s It

As a parent, you know the struggle: your child craves something crunchy, salty, or sweet — and you want to offer something nutritious. You've tried dried fruit, but it's sometimes too sticky or sugary. You've tried veggie chips, but they're often loaded with artificial flavors. Enter Fruit Crunchables — a category of healthy kids snacks that delivers real fruit in a crispy, satisfying form. In this guide, we'll explain exactly what Fruit Crunchables are, how they stack up against other fruit crisps, and how to choose the best options for your family.

What Exactly Are Fruit Crunchables?

Fruit Crunchables are a type of fruit snack made by gently drying and crisping real fruit — typically apples, berries, or tropical fruits — until they become light and crunchy. Unlike traditional dried fruit, which can be chewy or sticky, Fruit Crunchables offer a crisp texture similar to potato chips, but without the added oils, preservatives, or artificial ingredients. They are often available in single-serving packs, making them ideal for lunchboxes, hiking trips, or after-school treats.

For example, the Apple + Cinnamon Crisps Fruit Crunchables Bundle Box (30 Packs) from That's It combines apple and cinnamon in a satisfyingly crunchy format. These crisps contain no added sugar, no preservatives, and are made from 100% fruit — just apple and cinnamon. This is a perfect illustration of how Fruit Crunchables retain the natural sweetness and nutrients of whole fruit while offering a texture kids love.

Why Fruit Crunchables Are a Parent's Best Friend

1. Clean Ingredients You Can Trust

One of the biggest concerns for parents is what's actually in their child's snacks. Many store-bought fruit snacks are packed with corn syrup, artificial colors, and preservatives. Fruit Crunchables, on the other hand, typically contain only fruit (and sometimes a touch of cinnamon or other spices). That's It's Fruit Crunchables, for instance, list just apple, cinnamon, and nothing else. This transparency makes them a standout in the healthy kids snacks aisle.

2. Crunch Without the Guilt

Kids love crunchy textures — it's a sensory experience that can make snack time more enjoyable. Traditional chips and crackers often rely on refined grains, oils, and salt. Fruit Crunchables deliver that same satisfying crunch but from whole fruit, providing fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. They can be a great alternative for parents looking to reduce processed snack intake without sacrificing the fun factor.

3. Portion Control Made Easy

Most Fruit Crunchables come in pre-portioned packs, which helps avoid overeating. For example, the Apple + Cinnamon Crisps are sold in a bundle of 30 individual packs, making it simple to grab one for a lunchbox or a quick snack. This convenience is a big plus for busy parents.

How Fruit Crunchables Compare to Other Fruit Snacks

Snack Type	Texture	Added Sugar?	Preservatives?	Kid Appeal
Fruit Crunchables	Crispy, light	No (100% fruit)	No	High (crunchy, sweet)
Dried Fruit (e.g., raisins, apricots)	Chewy, sticky	Sometimes added	Sometimes	Moderate (depends on child)
Fruit Leathers/Rolls	Chewy, gummy	Often added	Often	High (but messy)
Fruit Bars (e.g., That's It bars)	Dense, soft	No (100% fruit)	No	High (portable, sweet)

Fruit Crunchables occupy a unique niche: they offer a crisp texture that other fruit snacks lack, while maintaining the clean-label integrity that parents value. If your child loves the crunch of chips but you want fruit-based nutrition, Fruit Crunchables are an ideal swap.

Tips for Introducing Fruit Crunchables to Your Kids

Start with Familiar Flavors

If your child already enjoys apples, the Apple + Cinnamon Crisps are a natural first choice. You can also try other fruit varieties, but starting with a known flavor increases acceptance.

Use as a Topping

Crush Fruit Crunchables over yogurt, oatmeal, or even smoothie bowls for an extra crunch. This can make breakfast more exciting and add a fruity twist.

Pair with Other Healthy Snacks

Combine Fruit Crunchables with a handful of nuts (if age-appropriate) or a cheese stick for a balanced snack that includes protein, fat, and carbs. The Parent + Kid Snack Variety Bundle is a great way to explore different snack options that pair well together.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fruit Crunchables

Are Fruit Crunchables healthy for toddlers?

Yes, as long as the toddler is old enough to handle crunchy textures safely (usually around 12 months or older). The simple fruit ingredients make them a great choice, but always supervise young children during snacks.

Can Fruit Crunchables replace fresh fruit?

No — fresh fruit provides water and different fiber structures. Fruit Crunchables are a convenient supplement, not a replacement. Aim to serve a variety of whole fruits and vegetables alongside these snacks.

How should I store Fruit Crunchables?

Keep them in a cool, dry place. Once opened, the pack should be sealed to maintain crispness. The individual packs are designed to preserve freshness until opened.
