My kids love to snack. I admit, we have a snack drawer that the kids hit as soon as school is over for the day. I am trying hard to fill it with items that are not only tasty, but healthy. It is always promising to see them making good choices and actually enjoying them too. Choosing healthy snacks can be hard, I know as parents it can be a struggle, but with this next company, you can be sure you are getting something easy, healthy, and good for the whole family to enjoy.

We are busy people, with school, work, parties, and practices, our lives are go, go, go. I know other families can relate too.

How does Crispy Green capture all of the taste and nutrients of fresh fruit with no additives or preservatives?
With a sophisticated freeze drying technology, 99% of the water from sweet, fresh fruit is removed, leaving behind its true essence in a light and crispy texture, perfect for snacking. An estimated 10-15 pounds of fresh fruit is needed to produce 1 pound of freeze dried fruit, resulting in a delicious, nutrient packed fruit treat that is easy to add to school lunches, after a workout, or whenever you are feeling snacky.
No skin or core, a plus for all little kids! Freeze dried Fuji apples. These had a sweet apple flavor with a slight crunch, just like a fresh apple, and were really a group favorite.
These looked like real orange slices, we were pleasantly surprised. These are the newest addition to the Crispy Green line and I think will have a good response. They tasted pretty good and were enjoyed.
Sweet cantaloupe flavor, light crunch, but not our favorite. Cantaloupe is the fruit I just never enjoy, even fresh, so I think I was already against this one to start. The kids seemed to be impartial as well, but still ate them.
Slicing and peeling mango is a huge pain for me, I actually avoid buying mango that often. These had a nice flavor, not too strong, they weren't my favorite of the group but not in the bottom either. I think these would be great in some vanilla yogurt.
Bright yellow and smelled just like a pineapple should. These would also taste delicious with some yogurt.
In my top two for sure, these were some really yummy treats. I am a fresh banana fan and these hit the spot. These were high on everyone's like list.
Light and crunchy slices of pear, these were eaten quickly by all of us.
