I had never heard of Crunchies until I received an email about them recently. Since I’m always looking for a healthy snack option that’s great on the go, I jumped at the opportunity to give these a try. I learned that Crunchies’ freeze-dried fruit is non-GMO, heart- healthy, vegan and gluten-free – AND delicious in recipes and straight from the bag.
When I checked the label of the bags of Crunchies I received, I noticed that all Crunchies products have just ONE ingredient: fresh fruit, which means no added sugar or artificial ingredients. Plus, unlike traditional dried fruit products, the company’s freeze-drying method preserves important nutrients that athletes need to perform their best – on the field, at the gym or in between workouts.
So what’s their motto – it’s “Let’s Get Real” of course! Crunchies Natural Food Company was the first consumer brand to focus on freeze-dried snacks. The Chaucer Food Group recently acquired Crunches, who offers a variety of delicious freeze-dried snacks including these nine flavors: strawberries, mango, pineapple, blueberries, raspberries, grapes, cinnamon apple, strawberry banana and mixed fruit. You can pick up Crunchies in stores nationwide for a cost of $4.99 to $5.99 each for the resealable pouches. They also carry a single-serve bag for $1.25 each.
While I didn’t try every single bag because as soon as I got home and opened the box, my family snagged a couple of bags. Then, once they hit my desktop at work the remainder of the bags were gone. The one flavor I was able to hang on to and eat all by myself was the Pineapple flavor and I loved, loved, loved them! After tasting just two little pieces, I quickly stashed those in my drawer so no one else would want to try them! One of my co-workers tends to eat a lot of nuts, and he dumped half a bag of Crunchies in with his mixed nuts and came back later to report how much he loved his “special” mix!
You should try these quick, healthy and tasty snacks too! Be sure to head over to Crunchies’ Website HERE, or connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram!
