Delicious and healthy snack for kids (and adults too)

Looking for an easy way to get your kids to eat more fruit or a healthy treat to replace candy this Halloween? Check out Crispy Green's line of freeze dried snacks. These are so incredibly delicious it is not to be believed.
They come in individual serving packets with roughly the equivalent of one piece of fruit per bag. The perfect size for a Halloween tick-or-treat goodie. Good thing the bags aren't bigger or my girls (and myself) would eat a whole week's worth of fruit at one sitting. Best yet, there's nothing added at all. It is just freeze dried fruit and is mmm mmm good.

Crispy Fruit snacks come in Crispy Apples, Crispy Bananas, Crispy Pears and Crispy Pineapples. We tried the apples and pears. They taste like candy but are light and fluffy with a great crunch that makes them a fulfilling treat.
Crispy Green also makes mouth-watering Strawberry FruitziO snacks. These are made with freeze-dried strawberries plus a touch of cane sugar. One bag has 100 calories and provides 110% of the daily-recommended amount of vitamin C.

There's no preservatives, fat, cholesterol or sodium in any of these treats. Plus they're peanut/tree nut free, gluten-free, dairy free and certified kosher.
The only downside: they're a bit pricey. I'd eat them all day everyday otherwise. But they are portable, mess-free and last a lot longer than fruit so at least you won't waste any. You can find them at grocers, amazon.com and at crispygreen.com.
