How to Snack Smarter

Powerhouse Produce

Best Apple

Pink Lady apples are sweet and tart, bursting with flavor and nutrition. This go-to solution for simple snacking is always the first to blossom and the last to be harvested, so each one soaks up about 200 days of sunshine for that rosy color and delicious flavor.

LAB RESULTS Testers found the flavor superior to that of other apples, saying it was "crisp, refreshing and incredibly tasty." Our experts said it holds up well in baking but is perfect on its own too.

Most Innovative Fruit Snack

Overripe and wasted fruit scraps are rescued and upcycled for this unique snack; they're gently dried into snackable slices that retain the fruits' nutrient-rich peels.

LAB RESULTS The StrawPeary blend boasts an incredibly refreshing flavor and 5 g of fiber per serving sans any added sugar. "Hands down the best of all we tried," a tester raved.

RIND STRAW-PEARY BLEND, $5 TO $6 PER BAG, WHOLE FOODS MARKET

Best Citrus

Juicy and seedless, these enormous mandarins are known for their perfectly balanced sweetness and for being easy to peel.

LAB RESULTS Our food and nutrition pros loved that the fruit is an extremely rich source of vitamin C and packs 3 g of fiber. "They're perfectly sweet, with little of the pith that typically makes citrus fruits bitter," says GH Kitchen Appliances Lab Director Nicole Papantoniou.

SUMO CITRUS, $4.50 PER LB, GROCERY STORES

Best Kiwifruit

Deliciously sweet golden kiwi has a smooth, edible skin and juicy yellow flesh packed with nutrients. Bite directly into the kiwifruit or cut and scoop.
