Nutritious &  Delicious Back-To-School Lunches &  Snacks

Be ‘Pro-Pack-tive’ for Healthier Kids!  

Educated parents looking for a healthy, easy-to-pack, lightweight, mess-free and non-refrigerated snack for the school lunchbox know that Crispy Fruit from Crispy Green® scores high with kids, parents and nutritionists. The tasty, 100% natural, Non-GMO Project Verified snack is also ideal for extracurricular activities and kids constantly on the go.

What is Crispy Fruit? Simply put, it’s 100% pure fruit – freeze-dried in perfect slices that can satisfy a snack attack anytime, anywhere! Crispy Fruit comes in a variety of flavors including Tangerine, Apple, Asian Pear, Banana, Cantaloupe, Mango and Pineapple. The freeze-drying process results in a light crispy texture that snacks like a chip, but has all the nutrients of fresh fruit. Crispy Fruit comes in individual, single-serving packets that are easy to pop into lunchboxes, soccer bags, overnight totes and backpacks.

Both my children love their fruit, so of course we had to open a few pouches once they arrived.  The tangerines were so cute, yes little 100% freeze-dried fruit slices.  My son and daughter had them for snack right away.   We love that they are so convenient and great to have hand when you don't have fresh fruit in the house.   Your kids will think they are getting a treat, while we parents know they ate getting 100% real fruit!  These are perfect for school lunches, either send the pack with the kids or open and place in a reusable container!
