Product Review: Peeled Snacks!

     Looking for a great afternoon snack to boost your energy? Of course I'm going to recommend fruits and vegetables! An easy way to meet your daily fruit quota in the office, on your commute, at the park, or at home is by snacking on dried fruit! Swap out your kids fruit snacks (made with added sugar and artificial products!) for some healthy dried fruit! Instead of grabbing chips from the vending machine, have some dried fruit stored in your desk at work! Keep some in the car for road trips or bring them with you to the airport!

     One great brand of dried fruit is Peeled Snacks. They come in individual as well as resealable packages and offer a variety of different fruits like banana, pineapple, and the Farmer's Market trio with raisins, cherries, and apples! And whats on the ingredient list? Nothing but the fruit itself! No added sugars, colors, flavorings, oils, or other additives. And Peeled Snacks are certified organic! I really like the pineapple, it's a variation from the usual dried fruit offerings! 

     

     What's more, a study done at Loma Linda University followed 2,800 participants over 26 years and found that "consuming dried fruit three times a week or more, versus less than once a week, was associated with a 26 percent reduced risk of colon cancer."  The fiber in the dried fruit serves to dilute carcinogens in the intestines! 

     Next time you are looking for a tasty, quick, and healthy snack pick up some Peeled Snacks. Available at Starbucks, grocery and convenience stores, and now Cosco stores in the Midwest. For more information on Peeled Snacks visit the website at: http://www.peeledsnacks.com/.
