How can we get kids (and kids at heart) to stop eating processed junk food and start eating more fruit? Funky Monkey snacks are are a perfect solution. They’re fresh-tasting, freeze-dried snacks that come in individual serving packages of 1 oz (and 90-100 calories). They’re 100% natural and 100% real fruit, with nothing added. They’re also gluten-free, vegan, raw, Kosher and GMO free.

Flavors include Bananamom (banana/cinnamon), Jivealime (pineapple/lime), Purple Funk (banana/acai) – all of which are 100% USDA organic. Pink Pineapple (pineapple/guava) is 95% organic, and Carnaval Mix (a medley of fruit) is 70% organic. All flavors include 3 servings of fruit!

I’m generally a fan of regular, fresh fruit, but these were pretty satisfying and not overly sugary (the way some dried fruits are).

They’re also an easy, light snack to take on the go – and I could see how kids might get more excited about them than about a plain old banana. Sometimes you just want something crunchy…so instead of reaching for pretzels or potato chips, why not try some Funky Monkey?

Applemon was my fave. Jivealime was a little sour for me, but Pink Pineapple was fun! Now they just need to add some blueberry or cranberry snacks to their repertoire!

You can try all the options with a 12-flavor variety pack at Amazon for $26.58, or you can click here to find them at a local grocery store. Happy crunching! Single flavors are around $22, so they average out to about $1 a bag. Not bad for a healthy and tasty snack!
