My 2-year old loves these cheerio-like banana flavored snacks. He prefers them to Cheerios. He has also tried the Blueberry flavored version of these snacks, and highly dislikes them, but I think that's just because he isn't a huge fan of blueberries. These are a hit, though!

Xyloburst Fruit Xylitol Chewing Gum 100 Count Review

Xyloburst Fruit Xylitol Chewing Gum 100 Count
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have bought a lot of Xylitol gum, usually needing 2 pieces to make 1 gram. This is big gum, 1 piece = 1 gram. Plus it tastes great!

My grandson HAD ECC [Early Childhood Caries] all through his baby teeth, $3400 worth of dental work; his mom and I started him on Xylitol a year ago, now he has $300 worth. All of his little cavities have re-mineralized . Unfortunately, he does not "walk;" he bounces, he skips, he runs, jumps, AND TRIPS! He fell and broke his 4 upper front teeth, broke the roots - so they're being extracted!

But the Xylitol cleaned up the rest of his teeth, and Xylitol Burst IS GREAT! And GREAT TASTE!

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars, Fruit & Nut, 6-Count Boxes (Pack of 12) Review

Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix Bars, Fruit & Nut, 6-Count Boxes
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Shame on Nature Valley for trying to pull the wool over our eyes!If you were a fan of these bars when they first came out, then be warned.The recipe has changed and the bars are much different and NOT for the better.Not only are they much smaller, they also contain far fewer nuts/fruit and the bar itself now has an airier consistency like the Rice Krispie's treat.

How do I know all this?I bought these bars on a regular basis from Costco and still had some leftover bars from the first batch and I was able to compare them side by side.These were always my favorite hiking snack and now they aren't much better than every other bar out there.I think Nature Valley will quickly regret its decision once they realize that their are a lot of unhappy customers.I'd gladly pay a little extra if it meant keeping the bars the way they were.

If you don't believe me then by all means buy them and judge for yourself.

As a child born in the 80s and growing up in the 90's this was always my favorite lunchbox snack. The flavors are delicious and the texture isn't like some gummies that get stuck in your teeth or gummies that are too soft. Everyone seems to favor the white "mystery" flavor sharks, but grape will always be my personal favorite. I continue to buy these now that I'm adult. I only wish they made "adult size" pouches, because now that I am older, the pouches seem like they've gotten smaller!

Fruit by the Foot Variety Pack (Strawberry, Color by the Foot, Tie Dye), 6-Count Rolls (Pack of 12) Review

Fruit by the Foot Variety Pack, 6-Count Rolls
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Somebody handed me one of these at a picnic, and it looked interesting -- basically, it was like eating jam that had been left on a plate and dried into a concentrated and gelatinous lump of-- well.... So I looked at the box the next time I went to the store.

Here's what it's a lump of:

--Grapes From Concentrate, THAT'S OKAY WITH ME
--Sugar,ALSO OKAY WITHIN LIMITS
--Maltodextrin,ANOTHER SUGAR
--Corn Syrup, ANOTHER SUGAR -- THE MOST UNHEALTHY OF ALL THE SUGARS -- SO UNHEALTHY THAT THE USA IS THE ONLY --THE ONLY -- THE ONLY -- FIRST WORLD COUNTRY LEFT THAT HAS NOT BANNED IT'S USE IN FOOD.
--Pears From Concentrate, OKAY -- 1 MORE ACTUAL FRUIT
--Partially Hydrogenated Cottonseed Oil,BASICALLY 1 STEP FROM PLASTIC, AND CONSIDERED AS BAD OR WORSE FOR PUBLIC HEALTH THAN TOBACCO
--Carrageenan, COLOR
--Citric Acid,PRESERVATIVE
--Acetylated Mono and Diglycerides, WHO KNOWS
--Sodium Citrate,ANOTHER PRESERVATIVE
--Malic Acid, ANOTHER PRESERVATIVE
--Xanthan Gum,HELP KEEP THE PLASTIC FROM BECOMING BRITTLE
--Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid),CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT -- AND ALSO A PRESERVATIVE
--Locust Bean Gum,AGAIN, MOISTURIZER FOR THE PLASTIC
--Natural & Artificial Flavor,ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR?AREN'T WE TIRED OF THIS BY NOW?
--Potassium Citrate, SOUNDS LIKE POTASSIUM AND CITRUS FRUIT -- BUT IT'S NOT
--Color (Yellow 5, Red 40, Blue 1)COLOR, COLOR, AND MORE COLOR -- ISN'T FRUIT PRETTY COLORFUL ALL BY ITSELF?

So fruit -- which is already colorful and already sweet, is puree'd with enough sugar to kill ants, then dosed up with preservatives so it has a half-life of 200 years -- AND they throw in partially hydrogenated fats (which are so bad for your that they have been banned in several states and countries around the world -- and will be banned by the rest before it's over) -- and what have you got?Something nobody in their right mind would eat and call "fruit".

This is not fruit -- it's candy.And as candy -- it's not even good candy.Why not go for a piece of real fruit followed by a bit of REAL 60-75% chocolate made with REAL sugar.Chocolate has the highest concentration of anti-oxidents on the planet -- so many that it has a naturally ultra-long shelf life with no zero- none- nada- not-a-bit of preservative or partially hydrogenated anything.

I'm sorry, but I've just about reached the end of my patience with these monolithic companies that market empty calories laced with poison under innocent sounding names and cute, brightly colored boxes with cartoon animals on them.

And don't be fooled by anything that says "Zero Grams of Trans Fat" --if it has partially hydrogenated oils in the ingredients list -- then they're splitting hairs with the labeling laws.Partially hydrogenated oil IS Trans Fat.

If they make the portion size small enough that 1 portion has less than .5 grams of partially hydrogenated fat (even if the portion size is only 4 grams of the food)-- then they are within the law to lie to you and advertise their product as having 0-grams of trans fat!Can you believe it?Whatever happened to the spirit of the law?

Money happened.

If a portion size is 4-grams, and each 4-grams of a 180-gram box contains .4-grams of partially hydrogenated fat -- that means the box could contain as much as 18-grams of TRANS FAT. It's a con.It's a lie.It's trying to pass a lie that falls within the letter of the law off as the truth.I've actually read boxes where the serving size was 2 crackers -- little tiny crackers -- that together weighed less than 9 grams.That's less than 1/3 of an ounce.Who is that supposed to be a serving for?Barbie?

And if you buy these things and feed them to your children -- then you're buying the lie because it's easy, pretty, well marketed, sweet (no kidding) and without a shadow of thought or conscience.

Smooze fruit ice is perfect for the hot summer weather. The little pouches are surprisingly satisfying! I recently saw them at my local Whole Foods market and decided to give this flavor, coconut & pink guava, a try. It is delicious! There are ten pouches in each box, a lot more servings than many healthy frozen desserts give you (which is usually like 4). I'm ready to order these guys in bulk from Amazon and give the other flavors a go.

Crunchies Freeze-Dried Mixed Fruit, 1.5-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 6) Review

Crunchies Freeze-Dried Mixed Fruit, 1.5-Ounce Pouches
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Do not buy Crunchies products in the Hot summer months.They are heat sensitive. As the packaging states "IMPORTANT- STORE IN COOL DRY AREA". The two cases I purchased arrived chewy and clumped together.They probably cooked during shipping and are not a "Raw Food" and not as "Nutritious" anymore.Two of the bags were more bits and powdered fruit clumps than chucks of fruit and one was opened. Amazon.com does not accept grocery returns.It was a waste of $40.

Product Description:
Crunchies Freeze-Dried Mixed Fruit is a 100 percent real, great-tasting mix of peach, blueberry, raspberry, mango, strawberry, and apple. The only thing taken out of the fruit through Crunchies' patented freeze-drying process is water. No additives, no preservatives. That means no added sugar, no oil, no sulphur. They're wheat-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free, but rich in fiber and nutrients. Less water equals more flavor and a satisfying crunch that both kids and adults love. All this and only 100 calories per cup! It's truly nature's ultimate snack food, and comes in a convenient resealable bag that's great for kids lunches, hiking, school, work, or any in-between meal snack on-the-go. You can also add them to pancakes, cereal, yogurt, or ice cream.
