Charlie and I love fruit. Hubby, not so much. It is a constant battle with Charlie to encourage the healthy eating of fruit as a snack compared to Goldfish crackers or some other packaged snack food.
Fresh fruit is best of course but a lot harder to toss into the school lunch kit. That is where Dole Fruit comes in to save the day! I have always been a fan of Dole Fruit company and their products. Hubby and I even toured their famous pineapple plantation when we visited Hawaii years ago.
Thanks to BlogHer ’11 this summer I scored some coupons for free Dole Fruit Crisps and Real Fruit Bites at the Expo.
From the Dole website for Fruit Crisps –
DOLE Fruit Crisps are satisfying bowls of juicy DOLE fruit in a fruit sauce, each with its own crispy, crumbly topping made with whole grain oats and brown sugar. When you are ready to enjoy, simply peel back the lid and sprinkle the topping over the fruit!
Packed in convenient clear cups with easy-to-open, peel-off lids, DOLE Fruit Crisps are a convenient anytime snack.DOLE Fruit Crisps are delicious room temperature, chilled from the fridge or heated briefly in the microwave (our favorite way to enjoy them!)
At 80 calories snacking just got sweeter and healthier with the new Dole Real Fruit Bites. Each bite-size piece is made from real dried fruit chunks, coated with yogurt, and sprinkled with toasted whole grain oats.
