Both are gummies. The labels are very different, and the differences show up in the first three ingredients.

The base

Classic gummy bears use gelatin, sugar and glucose syrup. Protein gummies swap in protein ingredients. Punchies use fruit pectin with grass-fed whey isolate and grass-fed collagen peptides.

The numbers

Check the panel for protein and sugar. Punchies show 5g of protein and under 4g of sugar per five-gummy serving, with 34 calories. A candy gummy bear typically offers little or no protein.

Why texture matters

A chewy, fruity gummy is a familiar format, which is why kids accept it. Fruit pectin gives a slightly cleaner bite than the springy texture of gelatin.

Still a snack

Neither replaces food. Offer a protein gummy as a snack, with water and a real meal nearby. The label is at gummy bear protein gummies. Related reading: How to read supplement claims without getting fooled on immunesupportsupplements.com.
