Fruitzio Freeze Dried Fruit Snacks (Peaches) Review

Fruitzio (made by Crispy Green) is a line of freeze-dried fruit snacks made from only the fruit and a "hint" of natural sugar. I received samples of Fruitzio Freeze Dried Peaches to try out and review.

NUTRITION FACTS
Serving Size: 10 grams
Calories: 40
Total Fat: 0%
Saturated Fat: 0%
Sodium: 0%
Carbohydrates: 9 grams
Fiber: 1 gram, 3%
Sugar: 7 grams
Protein: 0 grams

When eating by itself as a stand-alone snack, the flavor is mild at first until it gets a little moist in your mouth, and then the sweetness and peach flavor comes through. I also broke up a few of the bigger pieces and added it to my cereal one morning (at the moment it's Kashi Heart to Heart Warm Cinnamon Oat Cereal). They added such a delightful explosion of peach flavor everytime I had a bite of cereal. Yum .

There are about 2.5 servings in a bag of Fruitzio Freeze-Dried Peaches, and each 10 gram serving provides just 40 calories from 7 grams of sugars and 1 gram of fiber (no protein or fat).

The ingredients are freeze-dried peaches and cane sugar. Fruitzio Freeze-Dried Peaches are vegan plus gluten-, peanut/tree nut and dairy- free. These can be purchased online at Fruitzio for $3.49 each (25 gram bag) or $42 for a case with 12 - a little pricey but a little goes a long way, so you do get value for your money. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

Fruitzio Freeze Dried Fruit Snacks (Kiwi) Review

Fruitzio is a line of freeze-dried fruit snacks (made by Crispy Green). They are made with only the "finest fruit" and freeze dried with just a hint of natural sugar. I received samples of the Kiwi variety to try and let me tell you, this is was yummy - BUT be prepared for a very TART/ SOUR favor.

NUTRITION FACTS

I didn't think freeze-dried kiwis would be so tart, but they are. I made that scrunched up "this is SOUR face" as I ate a piece ... and then reached for more. If you don't like extremely sour sometimes, you're not going to like this - but since I do, I had no problems having 1 serving - and just 1. The sourness acts like built in portion-control since all I could handle in 1 sitting was just a few pieces.

There are about 2.5 servings in a bag of Fruitzio Freeze-Dried Kiwi Fruit Snacks, and each 10 gram serving provides just 40 calories from 3 grams of sugars and 1 gram of fiber (no protein or fat).

The ingredients are freeze-dried kiwi and cane sugar. These can be purchased online at Fruitzio for $3.49 each (25 gram bag) or $42 for a case with 12. This is a very unique flavor - I had mine as a stand-alone snack, but you could use Fruitzio Kiwi to jazz up plain yogurt, to cereal and to really make a salad kick! It's a little on the pricey side, but I know I'll be buying this in the future.
