We eat a lot of fruit in our house, so keeping fresh fruit in stock is a constant battle. I buy too much, it goes bad too quick. I buy too little, it’s gone before I get any! And I am NOT going to the grocery store more often. Sound familiar? If so, you would probably be interested in a healthy alternative to fresh fruit. An alternative your kids will eat too!
Stretch Island Fruit Co. Fruit Strips and FruitaBu Fruit Rolls are made with real fruit, NO added sugar and NO FILLERS! For example:
Orchard Cherry Fruit Strip – Apple Puree Concentrate, Cherry Puree Concentrate, Orange Puree Concentrate, Natural Black Cherry Flavor.
FruitaBu Apple Rolls – Apple Puree Concentrate, Apple Juice Concentrate, White Grape Juice Concentrate, Apple Powder, Orlando Palm Fruit Oil, Citrus Pectin, Citric Acid, Natural Apple Flavor, Sodium Citrate, Soy Lecitum.
Plus the Fruit Strips include 1/2 serving of fruit in each strip and the FruitaBu Fruit Rolls include 1 whole serving of fruit in each. Now, I know the real thing is best, but when I am on the go (always) or out of the fresh stuff, I feel good serving these to my toddler and eating them myself. (Goodness knows I make sure my daughter eats better than I do, so at least I feel like I am doing something good!)
And the best part of all – they taste yummy! I grew up eating fruit roll ups and such, they are so delish. But now that I am a mom I realize there are really no redeeming qualities to most “fruit” snacks – very little, if any real fruit. So, I love allowing my daughter to enjoy fruit snacks that are actually made of fruit! And they taste just as good.
You can buy Stretch Island Fruit on Amazon (and have it shipped to your house, hollar!). With prices ranging from $13-$15 for 30 strips or $24 for 6 boxes or 6 rolls (36 total) these fruit snacks won’t break the bank either! You can even use your Swagbucks to buy yummy, healthy snacks for your kids (and you). (Don’t know about Swagbucks, check it out here.)
I give this healthy and yummy snack 2 SuuburbanMom thumbs up! Enjoy!
