Plum Organics Mighty Snack Bars

Plum Organics has been a trusted name in baby and toddler food for years. Their Mighty Snack Bars extend organic quality to the toddler snacking stage. Let's see if they maintain Plum's reputation.

Plum Organics built their brand on the idea that babies and toddlers deserve the same ingredient quality as adults eating whole foods. They were early adopters of organic baby food when options were limited.

Now owned by Sun-Maid (yes, the raisin company), Plum maintains organic certification across their product lines. The corporate ownership hasn't visibly degraded ingredient quality.

Mighty Snack Bars contain:

• Organic oats
• Organic tapioca syrup
• Organic dried cane syrup
• Organic date paste
• Organic fruit/vegetable purees (varies by flavor)
• Organic brown rice crisps
• Organic sunflower butter
• Vitamins and minerals

The hidden produce is real - Apple, Carrot, Raisin; Strawberry, Beet - you can taste the fruit, not so much the vegetables. That's the point.

Per bar:

• Calories: 90
• Protein: 3g
• Fiber: 2g
• Sugar: 7g
• Various vitamins and minerals (fortified)

The 3g protein is respectable for a toddler bar - better than most alternatives. The 7g sugar is the trade-off, coming from tapioca syrup, cane syrup, and fruit. That's on the higher end for clean kids snacks.

Seven grams of sugar per bar is significant. Compare to:

• Once Upon a Farm: 3g
• MadeGood: 5g
• Quaker Chewy: 7g

Plum Organics matches Quaker Chewy on sugar, though with better sugar sources (organic, no corn syrup). This isn't a low-sugar option.

If minimal sugar is your priority, Once Upon a Farm or RXBAR Kids are better choices.

Mighty Snack Bars are soft and chewy - appropriate for toddler eating skills. They don't crumble excessively. The fruit flavors are pleasant without being overly sweet.

My toddler accepted them readily, though didn't prefer them over sweeter options. Older kids (4+) found them somewhat bland - these are sized and flavored for the 18-month to 4-year window.

The vegetable content (carrot, beet, etc.) is real but modest. Don't expect these to replace vegetable servings. Think of it as nutritional bonus, not primary vegetable intake.

The approach works for picky toddlers who reject visible vegetables but accept them puree-hidden.

At $5.99 for a 6-pack (~$1.00/bar), Plum Organics prices competitively:

• Cheaper than Once Upon a Farm ($1.75)
• Similar to RXBAR Kids ($1.25)
• More expensive than MadeGood ($0.72)

For the organic certification, hidden produce, and 3g protein, the pricing is fair if not exceptional.

Find Plum Organics at:

• Target
• Most grocery stores
• Amazon
• Whole Foods

Good mainstream distribution without specialty store requirements.

Families with picky toddlers who reject vegetables in visible form. Parents seeking organic toddler bars with some protein. Those in the 18-month to 4-year sweet spot for these products.

Families prioritizing minimal sugar - 7g is on the high end. Those seeking higher protein options (RXBAR Kids has 7g). Budget-focused families who can achieve similar quality with MadeGood.

Plum Organics Mighty Snack Bars are a solid organic option for toddlers - hidden produce, decent protein, no artificial ingredients. The 7g sugar content prevents a strong recommendation for sugar-conscious families. These work best for the specific toddler stage where vegetable-hiding is a priority and sugar isn't the primary concern.
