Jif Power UpsⓇSnacks: The Perfect Snack for Back-to-School

By Marcela Naste, publisher for Schaumburg - Hoffman Estates August 16, 2019

I was asked to review the new Jif Power UpsⓇ Creamy ClustersⓇ and Soft Baked Bars, and I’ve discovered that not only are they delicious, they are also the perfect items for lunchboxes or after school snacks, and my kids agree!

Not only do my kids love the taste, but as a mom I LOVE the ingredients. Peanuts are listed first, there are no artificial flavors, no corn syrup, and less than 10 grams of sugar. They are made with fiber, whole grains and a great taste!

We go through a lot of peanut butter in our house (like a lot of you, I’m sure!) Finding healthy options to keep my kids full and energetic during sports is not always easy. When I brought home the Jif Power UpsⓇ Soft Baked Bars, my kids immediately opened one and raved about them. That’s when I knew these would become the perfect addition to their lunchboxes this year.



The Jif Power UpsⓇ Creamy ClustersⓇ contain creamy peanut butter inside and crunchy granola outside, and contain 6 grams of protein (5% DV)*! Protein helps keep growing kids full for longer. The clusters are not as crunchy as a traditional granola bar. To me, it’s just the right combination of creamy with a little bit of crunch. Definitely a different combination to try, but my kids loved them as well. 

As the school year is about to begin, we are going to stock both of these items in the pantry. They round out a complete meal and I love that they’re made with fiber and whole grains.
