A Healthier Choice For Snacking

Hello Friends,

I recently tried Kettle Valley's Organic Fruit Snacks and have become a HUGE fan. These snacks taste GREAT and are SO good for you--it is an awesome combination of flavor and health all packed into a simple fruit bar!

I checked out their website today and pulled up the below information. Check it out and then go try a box for yourself. You'll be glad you did!

Nutritional Information:


Each 20g product has an apple in every bar and they are the equivalent of eating a 1/2 a cup of fruit. None of their products have been made with genetically modified fruit. The combination of simple and complex carbohydrates provide an excellent source of "substainable" energy (versus a quick simple sugar fix) and make a perfect snack for Diabetics. Research studies around the world are now uncovering the wide array of phytonutrients that are contained in fruits and vegetables that make them an important part of a nutritious diet. These nutrients offer many benefits, not unlike the antioxidants we hear so much about. Kettle Valley Fruit Snacks may contain the same important phytonutrients as whole apples (e.g., quercetin, numerous other flavonoids).


Fruit sugars such as those found in apple products serve as an immediate source of energy. And because apple products taste so good, they are readily consumed by infants and children.
Apple based fruit snacks have a nutrient/calorie ratio superior to many of the alternative snacks being consumed by children. One serving of Kettle Valley’s 20 gram fruit snack is equivalent to a ½ cup of fruit, according to the meal planning guidelines published jointly by the American Dietetic Association and American Diabetes Association.


In keeping with recent health professionals’ recommendations to increase servings of fruits and vegetables and reduce the amount of fat in the diet, apple products can make an important contribution to a well-balanced diet.
