The Washington Post had 16 snacks judged for suitability as a school snack by twenty-nine 3rd and 4th graders.
The taste test included 16 snacks that contained about 100 calories per serving -- an amount that nutrition experts say is appropriate for a child. Each snack was also low in added sugar. All had little or no unhealthy trans fat or saturated fat, and contained at least one nutritional attribute: fruit, vegetable, fiber, whole grain, calcium or protein.
