Healthy Snack Review: Crunch Dried Snacks from Sensible Foods
It is Healthy Snack and Food Month at ButYouDontLookSick.com!
I’ve made a promise to myself that I would start eating healthier. I feel that the choices we make, with what enters our bodies, is definitely one thing we can do to help us feel better. It feels great to make positive choices. When you are like me and you have a chronic illness, it is so important to eat well. I think many times the reason we do not eat as well as we should is because we are just too tired to cook, or too tired to shop for the healthier choices. I found a great tasting crunchy, sweet snack that I am now officially addicted to. I didn’t think it would be possible to be addicted to something healthy, but I am!
Sensible Foods makes a variety of crunch dried snacks. They are in individual serving size packages, so that helps with portion control. (Trust me, you will want to eat a lot of this stuff.) This is the perfect snack to carry with you when traveling in the car, or just to eat when you get the “4 o’clock mid afternoon fuzzies.”
I love that the packages have an ingredient list that says: Organic Apples and nothing else. Who can argue with that? I like eating things that I can pronounce and for once it is refreshing to see ingredients that I know and trust. Crunch Dried Fruit and Vegetable snacks are gluten free and are perfect snacks for Celiacs and other gluten
intolerant diseases. The products have no artificial colors or flavors and are perfect snacks for people who have a sensitivity to food additives. So many people living with chronic illness have these particular issues in mind when shopping for food.
If you are following the weight watchers diet, you will also be happy to hear that these great tasting snacks are only 1 point for the whole bag! If you are trying to get all your fruits and vegetables in your daily diet, 1 bag of these crunch dried snacks equals one of your 5 daily requirements for fruits and vegetables.

My personal favorite was the Cherry Berry. I found that when I was craving a sweet snack, I was satisfied with these. The strawberries and cherries were as sweet as candy! I admit I am a chocoholic and I thought giving up sweets would be hard, but the fruit in these packs are so delicious that you want to grab a bag. I had a few of each flavor to try and I have already eaten the whole box! I know you might be thinking dried fruit that is nothing new, what’s the big deal? Well I am here to tell you that this is the best dried fruit snack I have ever tried. So many dried fruits are chewy and rubbery, but because of the special low temperature and high vacuum “crunch dried” process these are crunchy and flavorful. The non fruit snacks, (corn and soy nuts) are a great substitute for chips or pretzels because they have a great blend of crunch and salt. This is my new favorite snack and I can not
recommend it more. Try some and you will be addicted too!
