Crunchy N Yummy – healthy snacks on the go, review & giveaway

As a mom on the go, I need convenient snacks to keep in the car, in my bag, just about anywhere for my kids. I would love to be able to bring fruit or veggies as snack, but there’s no way I could cut strawberries or mangoes in the car, let alone leave fruit in the front seat for an extended period of time. Just think of the wasted money and food. Not a good idea in my budget conscious house. So I was left with less nutritious snacks like crackers and fruit snacks; easy but there had to be a better option. 

But now, I have a great new product that gives my kids the fruit that I want them to have – Crunchy N Yummy. 

Crunchy N Yummy is a healthy, natural snack. The fruit is picked at its peak to ensure the great sweet and juicy taste. These freeze-dried fruit contain many natural vitamins and a daily serving of fruit.  The freeze-dry process retains all the fruits color, flavor and nutritional value. Crunchy N Yummy contains no preservatives, salt, sweeteners or gluten. The product is made from 100% natural fruit, is certified USDA organic and is Parve Kosher.

Recently, my family was provided with several packages of Crunchy N Yummy to try. I wasn’t sure how my kids would react to their less nutritious snacks being replaced, but Crunchy N Yummy was a big hit. 

I had my boys split a bag of pineapple Crunchy N Yummy after swim practice. My 6 year old really liked that the freeze dried fruit was crunchy, almost like a chip. My 4 year old loved the sweetness of the pineapple. Before I knew it, the bag was gone. The next day the boys asked for another bag with their lunch. I happily agreed. This time we went with papaya. Normally, my boys would never eat papaya (unless there was some major incentive) but once again, the bag was gone in an instant. 

 

I could see our family using Crunchy N Yummy often as sports seasons starts. These bags would make good after game treats. The bags are easy to store, there’s no mess, and it’s healthy. Plus, the fact that they are gluten free makes it a good school/team snack when parents are concerned with allergy issues. Also, these snacks would be perfect for trips to the zoo, park or even Disney World.

Crunchy N Yummy comes in 5 flavors, Strawberry, Pineapple, Banana, Mango and Papaya. Crunchy N Yummy can be purchased at Amazon.com, Snackaisle.com and Wholeandnatural.com. Locally, Crunchy N Yummy can be purchased at select stores in New York and Florida.
