Instead of gummy bears, I've been buying Welch's Fruit Snacks. They are tasty and convenient in the little pouches for when I want sugar.
These are the ingredients in the Mixed Fruit one, which I buy the most:
juice from concentrates (grape, pear, peach, pineapple)
corn syrup
sugar
modified corn starch
fruit puree (strawberry, raspberry, orange, grape)
gelatin
citric acid
lactic acid
natural & artificial flavors
vitamin c
vitamin e
vitamin a
sodium citrate
coconut oil
carnauba wax
red 40, yellow 5, blue 1
They have 80 calories, 0 fat, 10 mg. sodium, 19 g. carb, 11 g. sugar, 1 g. protein, 25% vit A, 100% vit C, 25% vit E.
So the ingredients aren't perfect, but I think they work for me OK. It also helps me get more vitamin E, which is often lacking in my cronometer. I'm open to better options for a convenient, tasty sweet snack though.
