Crispy Apple, Crispy Mango, Crispy Cantaloupe, and Crispy Asian Pear by Crispy Green Recommended by Whom You Know

Ever find yourself feeling guilty about not getting enough fruit in your diet? If you're anything like me, I'm sure you do! I have the best of intentions, but invariably, I either forget to buy fruit or I buy fruit and forget to eat it, and it ends up going bad! Well, thanks to Crispy Green, it's now super-easy to get fruit in my diet. Their sophisticated freeze-drying process perfectly preserves fresh fruit and all of its nutrients, and their convenient small packages make it easy to grab on the go or throw in a purse. I tried their Crispy Asian Pears, Crispy Apples, Crispy Cantaloupe, and Crispy Mango, and they were all absolutely delicious! There are no preservatives used; in fact, the only ingredient listed on each of the packages is the fruit itself - what a refreshing change from so many other packaged foods! True to their names, each of the fruits was delightfully crispy, and just about bursting with flavor. All of the fruit snacks are naturally low calorie, and contain no fat or cholesterol, so they are totally guilt-free indulgences. And, as a bonus, in addition to making great snacks, the dried fruits are also delicious additions to yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal - yum! 

It seems I am always looking for something to snack on throughout the day. Unfortunately, its so difficult to find a snack that isn't unhealthy! Now I have found a great new snacking option! Crispy Green freeze-dried fruits are a delicious and healthy snack! Each snack is sweet and crispy and full of the flavors of your favorite fruits. Crispy Apple, Crispy Mango, Crispy Cantaloupe, and Crispy Asian Pear are the snacks that I tried. I loved each one of them. Although, I'd have to say the Crispy Asian Pear was probably my favorite! Crispy Green offers the perfect way to satisfy your snack cravings without any of the guilt! 

These snacks are delicious!!! I usually prefer dried fruit if I am going to eat a snack like this, because my experience with freeze dried fruit has not been good. I was pleasantly surprised by how tasty all of the different fruits were. I also liked how they were packaged in single servings. It made taking them with me really easy. I just thew a few pouches in my bag and I had a healthy snack whenever I needed one. I enjoyed the mango and the apples the most, but really I liked them all. They taste exactly like the fruit- no flavor is lost at all. If you are looking for a healthy, quick snack, these are perfect!

Crispy Green is the best guilt free snack I have ever had! I can't believe how delicious these freeze-dried snacks are! They are also healthy and a wonderful treat to take with you on the go. For those parents who are seeking a healthy snack this is it! They taste sweet and delicious any kid will devour the bag! They have many different flavors - pears, apples, mangoes, cantaloupe - these are a few that I have tried and can't get enough of them. This is also a great way to keep your weight in check. I love anything healthy that tastes amazing and here you go this is that treat!!

Here’s an easy way to celebrate National Nutrition Month every day: choose all-natural Crispy Fruit and FruitziO as the snacks of choice for you and your kids. Crispy Green® Crispy Fruit freeze-dried fruit snacks, "real fruit, real taste, nothing else!” and the new line of FruitziO® freeze-dried fruit snacks, with a hint of pure cane sugar, are full of flavor to satisfy your desire for a snack that is sweet and crunchy with the added benefit of being free of fat, cholesterol, gluten and nuts, low calorie and low sodium.

National Nutrition Month started in 1973 as a week-long event, ‘National Nutrition Week’, and in response to growing public interest in nutrition, it became a month-long observance in 1980. The campaign is designed to focus attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.

“Snacking is an important part of our daily food intake, but most snacks provide little or no nutritional value, just empty calories,” says Angela Liu, President and Founder of Crispy Green. “At Crispy Green, we aspire to give our customers a way to add more fruit into their diet with our totally guilt-free, nutritious freeze-dried fruit snacks.”

Crispy Fruit comes in a single-serving bag containing approximately one serving of fruit and 55 calories or less per bag; FruitziO, with a hint of added cane sugar, has 2.5 servings per bag and only 100 calories for the entire bag. Both are vegan-friendly, peanut/tree-nut-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and are kosher-certified.

Crispy Green® Crispy Fruit and FruitziO® freeze-dried fruit snacks were recently selected for inclusion in the exclusive Swag bags for the performers at the 54thAnnual Grammy’s. It’s no surprise because high quality fruit and good taste take center stage in every bag of Crispy Fruit and FruitziO.

Crispy Green® award-winning Crispy Fruit snacks come in six delicious flavors:


Crispy Apples, Crispy Asian Pears, Crispy Bananas, Crispy Cantaloupe, Crispy Mangoes and Crispy Pineapples (MSRP: $1.49). In addition to single-serving bags, Crispy Fruit is available in the handy "Grab and Go" 6-PACK – six single serving bags in one convenient multi-bag (MSRP: $7.99). 

Made with the finest freeze-dried fruit slices with just a hint of pure cane sugar, FruitziO® snacks combine the wholesomeness of fresh fruit with a sweet taste. Packaged in convenient, travel-friendly, moisture-free 25-gram (.88-ounce) resealable pouches (MSRP: $3.49), each package contains less than 100 calories with varieties including Apples & Strawberries, Apricots, Kiwi, Peaches and Strawberries.
