Oh Tootles!

How CUTE are these freeze dried fruit snacks from Brothers All Natural? I am so excited to see the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme as this is my sons FAVORITE right now. Although he is still a little young to enjoy the healthy goodness packed into these adorable bags he loved playing with the packages adorned with Donald Duck, Goofy and of course Mickey. Brothers All Natural puts out the best freeze dried fruit that I have ever tasted and they add nothing to it-- no sugars etc like you will find in other brands. I can not wait to have my son chomping on healthy snacks like these that make having fruit easy on the go (and perfectly portioned). Another thing I find so great about these freeze dried snacks is the ability to enjoy out of season fruit year long! I am so sad to let go of my peaches, strawberries and pineapple for the year but can still enjoy them with these handy dandy snack packs. Oh and on a side note you have to try the Apple Cinnamon slices-- amazing. What is your favorite freeze dried fruits?

Gummy Treats

Last week I told you about the Watermelon Sharkies. Well check these out! Berry Blast-- they were fruity and energizing. A GREAT snack for on the go.

Sustainable Energy Snack: Sharkies

Check out this organic snack! Made for the active lifestyle these snacks provide you with all the yummy taste of candy but the nutritional benefits of a healthy, energy boosting snack. These gummies are suitable for any diet-- they are organic, gluten-free, dairy free and vegetarian. I tried the "Watermelon Scream" chews and my tastebuds were happy campers! I would definitly use this snack during a long bike ride, hike or any other activity that required lasting energy. They are great too because you can just tuck them in your pocket and snack away. Oh and did I mention that the entire bag only has a measly 140 calories?

Tru Sweets- Surf Sweets Candy Product Review: Plane Ride

A travel day with me involves many, many, many treats. One of the essentials always includes something I can chew on that is sweet and Surf Sweets-- Jelly Beans and Gummy Swirls fit the bill plus some. The geniuses over at Tru Sweets created goodies that are not only sweet, gummy and juicy filled with fresh fruit flavors they pack a nutritious punch! Here are the ones that I devoured while in flight:

Gummy Swirls: Made with Organic Fruit Juice, 100% Vitamin C, Natural Colors & Flavors + Fortified with Calcium (this is great for me!)

Jelly Beans: USDA Organic, Made with Organic Fruit Juice, 100% Vitamin C, Natural Colors & Flavors

Great news! When at my local Woodmans store I did find Surf Sweets in the Natural Foods section! If you can't find them in your local store visit their website ASAP. You can feel good giving these to your kids (or grownup kids like myself) instead of candy filled with artifical ingredients, empty calories and no nutritional value.
