The mix is gluten-free, has only 1g of sugar per serving, and is made from familiar kid-friendly components like cashews, pretzels, and cheese crisps.

Most parents find the per-serving cost reasonable when used as a planned lunch or after-school component rather than an open-bag free-for-all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan my child open and close the resealable bag at school?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, the zip-style reseal is intuitive enough for most school-age kids to manage on their own.
