Calorie Bargain: FruitaBu Fruit Twirls The Why: You know that aisle in the grocery with all the junky, high calorie sweet snacks? The one that’s usually frequented by moms, snatching up boxes of fruit-flavored, sugary packets to throw in their kids’ lunch bags? Well this calorie bargain will give you a feel-good reason to go down that aisle. Kids will love ‘em, and even adults can look forward to this fun, tangy snack. The twirls are a long, thin strip of dried fruit puree, pressed onto a paper a piece of waxed paper and all rolled up. These are a great, portion-control snack, and since there are about 18 inches of fruit to enjoy, it lasts a long time. Part of the fun is picking your twirl-eating, style. Some of our tasters unrolled the whole thing first. Others went the silly route, and ate and unrolled as they went along. The Health Bonus: Each twirl has 1 serving of organic fruit. What We Liked Best: The all natural ingredient list, grabability, and tangy fruit kick. What We Liked Least: Not much bad to say here…except maybe that you have to deal with a piece of sticky paper… The Price: $3.69-$3.99 for a box of 6. Offerings: Available in Smoooshed Strawberry, Smoooshed Apple, and Smoooshed Grape. Website: http://www.fruitabu.com/ Where to Buy: They are available nationwide in natural health food stores and major grocery chains. You can also visit their site to purchase online, or look up a store near you. Ingredients: Organic apple puree concentrate, organic apple juice concentrate, organic white grape juice concentrate, organic strawberry puree concentrate, organic apple, organic palm fruit oil, citrus pectin, natural strawberry flavor, fruit juice for color, citric acid, sodium citrate, acerola cherry extract (natural vitamin c), soy lecithin. Nutritional Analysis Per Serving: 1 Twirl
