NutriPals bars and drinks are nutritious snack options; but, like all snacks, add calories to a child's daily intake and should be consumed in moderation. Depending on the age of the child, one or two servings per day offer a great way to provide additional protein, fiber, and vitamins and minerals to the child's diet.
If the child is not currently consuming many fiber-rich foods, however, it will be important to gradually introduce the fiber-containing NutriPals bars into their diet.
Children greater than 1 year of age can enjoy the great taste of NutriPals bars and drinks. Parents should supervise young children while eating the bars, as any solid food may pose a choking hazard for young children.
