FruitaBu

This giveaway is now closed with 155 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the 3 lucky winners ~ Nancy, plowlady, and Misty!

It feels good to eat healthy. It feels even better knowing that I'm giving my children healthy snacks. We tried FruitaBu Rolls. My kids thought they were really good. Sugar is never added to their products, yet they're just the right amout of sweet. A big bonus, they are also fully organic. The people over at FruitaBu believe fruit should be free - free to get smoooshed (the extra "o" stands for organic) into flat-out fun! Click here to visit their website to learn more.

Start healthy eating habits at home. Each serving contains 1 full serving of fruit in each Roll. There is also over 90% real fruit juice in their products. No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives are added. FruitaBu Rolls come in apple, grape and strawberry.

It it hard sometimes when my two year old is in his "picky" phase but at least he loves virtually all kinds of fruit and treats fruit strips like they are candy. I try to encourage and lead by example but I don't force. He would love these!

Wow, I tried to get on their website three times but my ancient laptop gets locked up. I can say you can buy them on Amazon and they are Certified organic; no sugar added; gluten-free; dairy-free; certified kosher. Thanks!

mom2anutball said...

My daughter like sliced apples, with some peaunut butter. She also really likes grapes!

Plowlady said...

I serve chilled fruit and use very little, if any, salt while cooking

tami said...

well this is simple- just plain fruit! my kids inhale it, especially pears!

Connie said...

I watch my grandchildren frequently and my four year old grandson is on a gluten free and dairy free diet so these would be perfect for him! I always keep a lot of fruit around along with granola bars and veggies with dip.

Christine said...

My kids eat tons of fruit so we have a huge plate of fruit out all the time.

I always have apples, bananas and baby carrots in the house for my kids to snack on.

Jackie said...

A fact about Fruitabu: There is a half serving of fruit in each Fruit Flat, one full serving in each Fruit Twirl, and over 90% real fruit and juice in products.

susan said...

M son is just beginning to eat so we try to give him organic fruits and vegetables.

susan said...

It is great to see that "all sugars come naturally from fruit" in the Fruitabu.

Amber said...

We love healthy foods such as homemade applesauce, fruit salad, dried cereal such as cheerios, fruit leather, and celery and peanut butter. All simple, but all nutritious.

We love these kind of fruit snacks, thanks so much!

Dina said...

Baby carrots, bananas, apples, pears, grapes, clementines, blueberries and strawberries are always welcome at my house. Skim mozzarella cheese, boiled eggs, 1% organic milk, and yogurt are very popular with the kids, too. I use ground turkey instead of ground beef and we bake / boil potatoes instead of making french fries. As far as cereal goes - Cheerios and corn flakes are eaten daily, with or without milk.

Dina said...

It all started with a family that came together to make life simpler, sweeter and healthier!

Tamara said...

Their products are free from additives and I love that besides they are made with real fruit. My children would love them, thank-you for the giveaway.

Sherrylinn said...

My kids are my sunday school students. I bring fresh fruit, raisins, individual bags of cheerios, and fruit juice for snacks instead of candy or chips. This way they are not pumped full of sugar for me or their parents. We also keep milk in the fridge, in case they skipped breakfast.

Sherrylinn said...

With no fat, no cholesterol, and only 10g of carbohydrates, even I (diabetic) can have these as a snack, how cool is that?

Jennifer said...

My children eat a lot of whole fruits and vegetables as well as nuts.

Melly said...

My son loves grapes. He always welcomes all kinds of fresh fruit to his plate. He always asks the Subway person for an extra bag of spinach on the side. They think it is so funny and they always give it to him.

Lin said...

I think these are great. I always avoid fruit rollup type treats because of the high amount of sugar, but these don't have added sugar, which is definitely a plus in my mind. My daughter will love these.

Anonymous said...

Rebecca Baldwin said...

We eat lots of fresh fruit and smiley face Ritz for snacks

Cat@3KidsandUs said...

We stock up on lots of fruit cups (in their own juice, not syrup) for snack times. I'd say they are pretty healthy.

My kids love fruit, we generally eat what's in season all summer. Now we're throwing our "eat local" preference out the window and loving the clementines (kids love it that they can peel them themselves).

Jennifer Lynch said...

My kids LOVE fruits and veggies. I often have to bribe my 3 year old to eat his meat with the promise of getting corn or peas after. LOL I don't know where that came from! I also really try to limit high fructose corn syrup. I love the Annie's lines of kids' foods. Plus, my son's all-time fav treat is Fruitabu!

IrishMama said...

My only child is only 4 months old, so the only food she gets is formula... yummy

By keeping healthy foods in the house, it helps my son eat healthy when there are no other alternatives there for him! We try to buy organic fruits and veggies for him. It helps that being "healthy" is the "in" thing right now since a lot more healthy stores & companies are popping up.

Lisa C said...

FruitaBu contains only the natural sugars that are found in fruit.

leah said...

I try to feed my kids healthy snacks like nuts, trail mix, non-sugary cereals, etc.

Brooke said...

I feed my kids all kinds of healthy foods, organic as much as possible. It is hard to find packaged organic snacks, so these look terrific. Most often, I pack fresh fruit as a snack for them, though.
