About Jungle Grub Snack Bars
Jungle Grub is striving to do right by kids and give them what they need to maintain balanced energy between meals – starting from organically grown ingredients and finishing with…a fun snack bar with the sweetness and taste kids naturally crave!
It isn’t always easy to find time to prepare fresh and tasty treats for our picky eaters…and the competition makes candy bars look a whole lot more appealing to our little ones! Jungle Grub comes in three delicious flavors: Berry Bamboozle, Peanut Butter Groove and our new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
Jungle Grub snack bars were developed under strict standards to meet most school nutrition guidelines and provide balanced energy…but the kids had the final say; if they didn’t like the taste, we reformulated until they gave us a thumbs up!
Berry Bamboozle
Berry Bamboozle is a big winner with kids! With each bite you get a bit of sweetness from the vanilla icing along with the soft nougat center and a few crispy puffs thrown in to add some fun.
Peanut Butter Groove
Peanut Butter Groove is a blend of soft creamy organic peanut butter
and a few crispy puffs then dipped in a creamy vanilla icing giving it a touch of
sweetness. Peanut Butter is a favorite flavor choice when it comes to kids.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Jungle Grub Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough tastes just like fresh cookie dough straight out of the bowl. It even has the light, crunchy sugar texture you taste and feel from uncooked cookie dough. With the addition of mini chocolate chips and a chocolate flavored coating each bite reminds you of times you snuck a little from the bowl. Of course we achieved all of this flavor and still limited the sugar content to just 8 grams per bar; less than you find in a glass of milk. Enjoy!
Why USDA Organic?
Jungle Grub snack bars are certified USDA organic. That means nothing has been genetically altered or fed growth hormones and of course grown without the use of pesticides. Bottom line - its straight forward food. When you see the USDA logo it should put you at ease that you won’t find things like High Fructose Corn Syrup in the ingredients.
Why Gluten-Free?
Jungle Grub snack bars are certified gluten-free by the Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO). About 1:133 American adults and children have an intolerance to a wheat protien called gluten, often diagnosed as Celiac Disease. We are proud to offer a delicious and nutritional snack that is safe for people of all ages with wheat intolerance.
Why 100 Calories?
Jungle Grub Snack Bars were formulated as nutritious snacks, not as meal replacement bars. The ideal snack size for kids and adults is 100-200 calories. The ideal snack should also have balanced calories to satisfy the hunger and essential vitamins and minerals to help fill in any nutritional gaps between meals. Jungle Grub is a good source of Calcium and excellent source of Vitamin C the two most often missed vitamins in kids snacks.
Good Source of Calcium
Kids need at least 800 mg of calcium each day for ages 4-8, and 1300 mg each day for kids 9-13 years of age. Calcium plays a key role in controlling body fluids and muscle contractions as well as building strong bones. Unfortunately, more than 85% of girls and 60% of boys ages 9 to 18 don’t get enough calcium. One Jungle Grub bar provides 15% of the daily recommended calcium.
Excellent Source of Vitamin C
Vitamin C plays an important role in developing healthy immune systems and is an antioxidant that helps keep kids and adults healthier. Jungle Grub provides 20% of kid’s recommended daily value in vitamin C, which is a great addition to helping kids meet their daily needs.
