I am now a dried fruit junkie and snacks like these from Peeled Fruits do not help my addiction! This is a relatively young company and their enthusiasm shows! First of all, I loved the bold, funky packaging. Dried fruit usually seems so boring and well, lifeless. Dried fruit is a natural source of fiber, so I wanted to find new ways to add them to my diet. The bags from peeled snacks seem to jump right out at me and look appetizing before I even opened the bag. The pieces of fruit are certainly a mouth full- you do not feel like you are getting cheated. The portions are good, but the size of the actual fruit pieces are what makes it even better.

They have NO added sugar or oil, no Trans fats, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors or colors. In the combo packs of varying fruit and nuts, the nuts are packed separately so they stay crunchy and the fruit stays moist. BRILLIANT!! I hate when you have salty dry fruit or weird tasting nuts, when you buy a mix pack from the store. I know it sounds simple, but I want my apples to taste like apples and my walnuts to taste like walnuts. A simple request for food to taste like it should, that so many get wrong. Peeled snacks have easily fixed this problem with a separate bag for the nuts within the package. You can eat them separate, or mix the bag all up like I did. Instead of the more typical, or dare I say boring, flavors like apples and almonds that you usually see at your local grocer, Peeled Snacks carries such a fun variety of combinations. Try all the dried fruit like; pears, big cherries, figs, and dates.
I personally have a big trip planned and I am already starting to get ready. Ten people, all from my husband’s side of the family, will be on a flight with me, my chronic pain, and my baby daughter. I am dreading the trip. I know once we are there everyone will have a great time. It is the quest to go where you want to…..ahhh that is where lies the problem. Who should sit next to who? Who picked a place to eat? Who wants to do what? The fact is when you are traveling with a group larger than four or five, you need to plan for chaos. Now if it doesn’t happen, God Bless! But most of the time, people are fighting, kids are cranky, tired, thirsty and uncomfortable. I am already having an anxiety attack jut thinking of going on this fabulous trip. Instead of going to a shrink, taking drugs, or picking fights… I am going to solve all family trips forever!!! You heard it hear first. Christine Officially states that from this point on she will be the “Snack Queen”. Her duties will include bringing enough snacks to handle the tummies of my crew. I will have the snacks pre-portioned, so no fights about sharing, and there will be a variety of flavors and textures to choose from.
I can not say anything bad about this company and product. They quite simply made good food, that is good for you.
My daughter’s birthday party is next month and you know what I will be serving!! I will get pretty bowls and fill them with fruits and nuts along with cut up cheeses. It makes such a pretty platter. I am even more excited to see if our youngest guests get a kick out of them. I want an occasion like a birthday to be festive, but healthy too. You shouldn’t have to sacrifice fun for food. Why can’t you have both?
If you are like me, and quickly become addicted to snacks then you must check out there site to find out where you can buy them. I am unfortunately one of the few shoppers who do not have a Peeled Snack seller near me. So now I know if I have a big order, I order direct from Peeled Snacks. If I am shopping around on Amazon.com I order them there.

This is a company that I am proud to get to know. Not only is their dried fruit some of the tastiest we have ever had, but their philanthropic efforts should be admired:
