Moms and Dads from coast to coast are familiar with the back-to-school drill.  Getting the kids to bed earlier, shopping for new school clothes, registering for school, making sure immunizations are up to date….a literal checklist of tasks to look forward to.  While school lunches and snacks are probably not at the top of the list, a little pre-planning will avert last-minute stress and ensure your kids start the year with a healthy lunch and nutritious snacks to keep them happy and attentive as they get settled into their new routine.

Crispy Green has the perfect product to help with the packing process. Its Crispy Fruit freeze-dried fruit snacks are 100% pure fruit that come in convenient single-size serving bags.  Its delicious, sweet fruit flavor that snacks like a chip. No preservatives, added sugar, oils or fats—JUST FRUIT.  And the best part is, kids actually LOVE it.  You can also be assured that Crispy Fruit is Non-GMO Project Verified, OU Kosher, 55 calories or less per bag and has a long shelf life.  It’s such a welcome alternative to high-sugar, gooey fruit snacks that contain ingredients many kids can’t even pronounce.  Crispy Fruit from Crispy Green contains only ONE ingredient…fruit.

With seven fabulous flavors, kids can choose a different flavor every day of the week!  Choose from apple, asian pear, banana, cantaloupe, mango, pineapple and tangerine…something for even the pickiest little taste buds!  And, since Crispy Green is the No. 1 freeze-dried fruit brand at retail, you can be assured you’re purchasing a quality product that other moms, kids and active folks choose most often. 

Whether you pack as part of a healthy lunch, or throw in the kids’ backpacks for an in-between snack, Crispy Fruit makes the grade.  Bringing the teacher a bag of Crispy Apple freeze-dried fruit snacks could result in some extra ‘brownie points’ right out of the gate (although, Crispy Green cannot guarantee this)!

I was sent some of the Crispy Fruit to try and it was surprisinly pretty good! I received two of each flavor which was enough for me to try and share with the family.

 

As a mom of a 3 year old and a 9 year old, we're always looking for a variety of snacks. We're not the type to be picky with our snacks, either. We'll eat the junkiest junk food and the healthies health food, but the key is that it has to taste good. If it doesn't taste good, that snack can go out the door. Well, these Crispy Fruit snacks definitely hit the nail on the head and turned out to be a winner in our house. The thing is, the snacks are high quality and have a fresh taste to it. It doesn't taste like something that sat on the shelf forever. It sort of has that fresh, made at home, sort of taste to it; which I really like.

 

Of the seven flavors we all tried, we all voted that banana was our absolute favorite! Of course, apples came in at a close second. Everything else was still great, but those were the two absolute flavors in our house. 

 

Needless to say, at the end of the day we truly enjoyed the snacks - both kids and the adults! If you're considering trying them, then go for it! Especially right now on Amazon when you can get the Crispy Green Freeze-Dried Fruit Variety Pack as low as 72¢ per Pouch!! If you're asking if we recommend these, the answer is YES!
