Fast Food Diaries....Fast Fruit

Submitted by Skye on Mon, 10/13/2008 - 21:47.

The Ripened Raspberry "Stretch Island Fruit Co.'s" fruit leather is awesome. They remind me of fruit roll-ups, yet they don't have any added sugar. Only the pureed fruit....that's it! No dyes, preservatives,
or corn syrup!

They come in many flavors and they taste great! The Rippened Raspberry flavor was 45 calories, 0 fat and 120 mg of potassium, which I need as an active woman! Strawberry, cherry, and apricot are some of the other flavors. For less than $1 I can get a fruit serving that is also a "sweet tooth preferred" snack.

Of course I want you to eat fresh raw fruits daily. However sometimes that isn't always your option! This particular fruit snack can stay fresh in your purse or desk for months and months. Keep some raw nuts like almonds and pecans with these fruit snacks and you've got a quick and healthy mini meal! This makes skipping meals impossible and your metabolism running steady. FYI: I got mine at Safeway.....
