WHAT: Kraft Snack Trios

STATS: Vary by flavor. One package of the Monterey Jack Cheese/Dried Cinnamon Apples/Granola Clusters assortment contains 160 calories and 6 fat, 22 carbohydrate, 3 fiber, 11 sugar and 5 protein grams. We found individual packs at Kroger Marketplace, 14000 Cantrell Road, Little Rock. Visit kraftrecipes.com.

THE SKINNY: Kraft is yet another brand crafting portion-controlled, portable provisions kits.

As one would expect, Kraft Snack Trios, which range from 160 to 200 calories per three-part tray, contain tiny pieces of Kraft cheese, as well as other goodies.

Varieties include:

• Sharp Yellow Cheddar, Dried Cherries & Dark Chocolate

• Monterey Jack, Dried Cinnamon Apples & Granola Clusters

• Extra Sharp White Cheddar, Dried Cranberries & Dark Chocolate

• Colby Jack, Dried Banana Chips & Dark Chocolate

They're good in a pinch. Even if the 1.5-ounce packs, which are sold individually as well as in boxes of three, seem like they feature more plastic packaging than actual food.
