I absolutely LOVE this dried fruit.LOVE IT.Whenever I have a craving for something sweet, I can usually rip open one of these bags and forget all about eating something bad.

I've tried every one of their choices but this bag is my favorite.The apples and apricots are nice and sweet and the peaches give a little tang.The fruit is also nice and crisp, not stale and bland.I recommend this mix highly.Kids love it too so this makes a great lunchbox snack.Also wonderful for road trips.

Bear Naked All Natural Granola, Peak Protein, 2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 12) Review

Bear Naked All Natural Granola, Peak Protein, 2-Ounce Pouches
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
"Bear Naked - Peak Protein Granola Snack"

Whew..I'm so glad I bought this at the market to try out before I ordered 12, count em 12 bags of this snack. I purchased the larger 12 0z. size for cereal, and it took me a long time to get through it. I have tried two of the other flavors(Cinnamon Apple/Banana Nut), that I really thought were delicious and chewy, and could also be used as toppers for yogurt. This one didn't taste bad, it was just bland and boring. Nothin to write home about. It was also not chewy like the chunks in the others.

Health wise; It's a good healthy, energizing snack or breakfast. The power of protein combined with other the healthful and nutritious ingredients:
Whole Grain Oats, Toasted Soy Flakes, Honey, Expeller Pressed Canola Oil, Cranberries (Cranberries, Sugar), Soy Protein Isolate, Sunflower Seeds, Crisp Rice (Rice and Barley Malt), Whole Grain Flax Meal, Cinnamon, Natural Flavor. It's low in fat and sugar, and has no cholesterol. It has 5 grms. of protein per serving. And "Bear Naked" says the company's ingredients are all-natural and barely processed. For full nutritional values, there is a link on the product detail page.
.
Maybe you could even doctor it with some fresh fruit for a little added flavor to your cereal. But I couldn't recommend to buy 12 bags of it. Too bad they don't have a multi-pack in either the 12 oz. bags, or the 2 0z snack bags, so that you can sample each flavor for yourself. Like the other flavors, after you get through the chunk parts, you are left with crumb size bits, but won't go to waste if you sprinkle on yogurt.

Other pluses for the product are that they come in ziploc bags, are a good price compared to the grocery store, and are convenient to throw in your briefcase or gym bag. I would though, recommend, one of the other flavors that are really good.

Remember to breathe, eat healthy and...enjoy...Laurie

Kashi TLC Crunchy Granola Bar, Pumpkin Spice Flax, 6-2 Bars Pouches, 1.4-Ounces (Pack of 12) Review

Kashi TLC Crunchy Granola Bar, Pumpkin Spice Flax, 6-2 Bars Pouches, 1.4-Ounces
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Like the previous reviewer, I also purchased these snack bars because they don't contain the usual bugaboos: high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial sweeteners, etc. However, they're mighty hard to chew. And that's *probably* a good thing.

I'm a hardcore fan of Quaker Oats granola bars, because they're a quick snack and they're heavy-laden with sugar, but they also have the HFCS (bad, bad) and hydrogenated oils (bad, bad, BAD). However, they are easy to chew. I am striving to slowly back away from the QO granola bars because of their unhealthy and lengthy ingredient list.

The Kashi brand snacks are agreeable to the palate and they do have enough sugar for my personal tastes, but I have a couple crowns and I wonder if my over-priced prosthetic teeth can survive this healthy eating experience.

That being said, these are the snacks of choice for long car trips. For one, I'll never pig out on them and two, they're good for the tummy. They provide a little energy boost and they're high octane fuel for this four-layer bio-suit we call a human body.

I had to write a review of this raspberry licorice, after completing my review of the "original" black variety.For starters, if you are craving something fruity and chewy, this is for you.I love the sweet, slightly tangy flavor of raspberries in this licorice, as well as the soft texture.You can easily chew it, and it is very satisfying.What's more, it is fat free.So, no guilt here!Just keep it out of reach, on a high shelf, so you don't consume it all at once!

Average Reviews:

I bought these at the grocery store last week along with the Annie's Cheddar Bunnies.They're both great.The whole wheat bunnies are healthy without having that overwhelming "wheaty" taste some people aren't so fond of.You won't think you're eating a plain goldfish, but my 8, 5, and 1 year old gobble them up and THEY are tough customers.They have 3g of fiber per serving and with being whole wheat I feel like they're good enough to count as part of my toddler's meal.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Annie's Homegrown Whole Wheat Bunnies Baked Snack Crackers, 7.5-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12)[Amazon Frustration-Free Packaging]

Product Description:
Baked with organic wheat flour and organic white cheddar, Annie's Whole Wheat Cheddar Bunnies Snack Crackers are great tasting and wholesome. The bunny shape of these bit-size crackers represents Bernie the Bunny, our beloved mascot, and are ideal for toddler-sized hands, but their crispy crunch and real whole wheat flavor will tempt snackers of all ages to eat them by the handful. Bite size, all natural, no hydrogenated oils, and no artificial flavor.
What makes Annie's Whole Wheat Cheddar Bunnies Snack Crackers so different? In addition to organic wheat flour and real cheese, they're made without hydrogenated oils, which is a good thing since it's difficult for our bodies to absorb trans-fatty acids that come from hydrogenated oils. Trans-fatty acids have been linked to things like high cholesterol, heart disease, and diabetes. Annie's Whole Wheat Cheddar Bunnies Snack Crackers are made with only the best vegetarian ingredients.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
These are the best berries I've ever tasted!I thought for sure they were sweetened, but they're not.The berries they used must have been perfectly ripe and the flavor just blasts your mouth when you try them.Additionally, the slices are whole, with very little breakage in the can.The value you get is pretty great, considering that 8oz of berries is approximately equivalent to 5# of fresh strawberries.At $3/lb (+ shipping) that's really not bad, and you can have these year-round, even when strawberries aren't in season.

Click Here to see more reviews about: Freeze Dried Strawberries CAN, 6 oz.

Product Description:
Honeyville's Freeze Dried Strawberry Slices are produced in a process where moisture is removed from the product using a very low temperature and a vacuum. Only about 3 percent moisture remains in the product at the time of packaging. The end product weight is reduced by over 90 percent, while the volume stays the same. This remarkable process concentrates the fresh product taste, natural color, and texture of fresh product in it's freeze dried state. When re-hydrated with water the product will maintain the texture and shape of fresh product, with no shrinking or shriveling. Freeze Dried and Dehydrated products are less expensive than wet pack food because you are not paying for all the water. The taste is great, and the nutritional food value is excellent. Freeze drying provides natural and additive free fruits and vegetables to be stored effectively for long periods of time. Remember Honeyville's Freeze Dried and Dehydrated fruits are stable products with a long shelf life without additives or preservatives.

I have a similar product that I purchased at Wal-Mart for less than $5 for 19.25 oz., so this price is way too high.The product currently comes with 20% free, so it probably is usually available in a 16 oz. size.The product that I purchased is called Ann's House "Good Health Energy", but it appears to be a similar mix of soynuts, cranberries, almonds and pumpkin kernels.A 1/4 serving provides 8 grams of fat, 6 grams of sugar, 3 grams of fiber and 7 grams of protein.There are other mixes available including Macadamia Perfection, Cranberry Nut Antioxidant, Chocolate Nut Antioxidant, Creamy Strawberry Almond and Pistachio Perfection.I did not see all of these at the store.The product is very high quality and Ann's House has been in business since 1973.

My 10-year-old daughter and I both love these.Depends on your personal tastes, I guess, but we both really like the moist, chewy texture and they're really sweet without any added sugars or other sweeteners.I can see where they would be great for baking, but we buy them for snacking -- I like the fact that because they don't need to be refrigerated after opening, I can take them on long car drives for a healthy snack (and one that doesn't make a mess and leave crumbs in the car!)A serving of these along with a bottle of water makes a perfect mid-morning snack - quick, easy, healthy, and filling.

My kids love these. They're easy to stash in your purse or backpack, they're organic & all natural. But they're not just raspberry - so if you're on a rotation diet, beware! It looks like all of these 'smooshed' fruit have apple and lemon as a base, then add the other fruit (apricot, raspberry, etc) for flavoring. They leave a sticky residue in the wrapping, so be careful when disposing of them. They stick to your teeth after eating, whereas dried fruit won't stick. Still, in a pinch, they're natural & delicious with nothing added.

While I appreciate the concept greatly, the execution needs work; this is the only flavor I've had, and they remind me wildly of cough syrup every time I use them. Granted, I AM an adult, and no longer have childish taste buds, but I wanted essence of strawberry, not essence of vicks in these. They're juicy and beautiful as far as raisins go, and if I soak them first to remove the excess off-flavors, they're good in oatmeal. I wouldn't buy then again, however. Too much effort to make them edible.
