Can I let you in on a little secret? I really like crunchy snacks. There is just something satisfying about crunching on a yummy treat when I’m hungry. Unfortunately, all too many crunchy snacks aren’t that good for me, so I either have to sacrifice flavor or crunchy snacking. (Obviously, there are some good healthy, crunchy snacks such as apples and carrots which are regular snacks around our house.)
When I was asked if I would like to try out Crunchy N Yummy snacks, I jumped at the opportunity. After all, they were certified organic, freeze-dried fruit! These snacks sounded delicious. I like dehydrated fruit, but I often miss the crunch as most dehydrated fruit tends to be on the chewy side. Plus, many store bought dehydrated snacks have extra stuff added as a preservative. Crunchy N Yummy snacks are just pure, freeze-dried organic fruit. (Since they are pure fruit, they are naturally gluten free.)
We received a sample of each of the fruit snacks: banana, mango, pineapple, strawberry, and papaya. The first snack I dug into tasted was the mango. Mmmm….. The crisp texture paired with the full mango flavor was excellent. I decided to take some out to the girls to try out. (They were jumping on the trampoline.) Munchkin tasted a piece. “Yum!” Then her friend took a piece to try. “I usually don’t like mango, but these are delicious!” Next thing I know, I’m handing over the fruit for the girls to eat as a snack. (I did save a few pieces for D to try which he really enjoyed.)
The next flavor to try out was the papaya. To be fair, I’m not big on papaya, so this wasn’t a huge it for me personally. The texture was good, and it tasted just like papaya. D offered to take this off my hands and take it to work for a snack. **grin**
Pineapple – mmm… – yummy pineapple. Crisp, sweet pineapple. Yep, pineapple was my favorite hands down. I was bummed that I had to share. **sigh** Even Munchkin, who isn’t very fond of pineapple thought these were pretty good.
The strawberry reminded us of the freeze-dried strawberries that you would get in cereal – only better. The pieces were bigger and the flavor was true to a delicious, ripe strawberry. Of course Munchkin decided that you couldn’t have just strawberry, you had to pair it with banana to make…
Strawberry – Banana. **grin** The bananas were not what I was expecting. I’m so use to eating banana chips, that I didn’t expect the light, airy crisp of these banana snacks. Once again, because these snacks are pure fruit, the banana flavor was spot on.
Whether you want to eat these as a snack right out of the bag (like I did) or you want to use them as a topping for cereal, yogurt, or ice cream, you are sure to be thrilled with the taste and quality of these organic, freeze-dried, 100% real fruit snacks. Crunchy n Yummy snacks would be perfect for an on-the-go snack or for a case of the crunchy munchies.
And kids? Well, they’ll enjoy the flavor, and they’ll probably like the idea that they’re eating astronaut food. **wink**
The Crunchy n Yummy snacks are available on Amazon as a snack pack containing the different varieties or as multi-packs containing a single fruit.
