Here is something really different—actually the applesauce is old-fashion good—it is the packaging that is new. Applesauce in a tube—you remove the cap (Keep the top away from small children but you probably won’t need to re-cap the tube anyway since the contents are so delicious.) This has been one of France’s favorite fruit snack brand and now it is available in the U.S. It is all natural, no added sugar goodness.Applesauce has never been such fun as it is with these new 100% fruit, squeezable and re-sealable pouches.
The story goes that in the 19th century, a very loving grandfather was determined to craft a special snack for his grandson. Using delicious apples from his backyard orchard in the Val De Loire region of France, near the Chateau Chambord, Monsieur Materne created a delicious and simple applesauce. The Materne company was born and would go on to become the most popular applesauce company in France.
Known as Materne Pom’potes in France, the brand has become the favorite fruit snack of children with more than 1 billion pouches consumed to date.
Each pouch of Materne GoGo squeeZ contains the equivalent of one fruit serving.
There are 5 scrumptious flavors, including apple apple, apple banana, apple peach, apple strawberry, and apple cinnamon. Go Go SqueeZ contains no artificial flavors or preservatives, is gluten and dairy free and Kosher certified. Roll out some applesauce and enjoy. http://www.materne.us/homepage/
If you would like to a have sweet snack on hand, perhaps a kind of steam-rolled fruit, but not the kinds that are overly sweet and maybe not that good for you, try Stretch Island Fruit Co’s FruitaBÜ fruit roll-ups and flats—“organic smooshed fruit” . The "Flats" flavors include Country Cranberry Rasberry, Smooshed Apple, Smooshed Grape, Smooshed Raspberry, to name a few.
It is, of course easier to reach for the fruit snacks on sale at the supermarket—you know, the ones in the shapes of every cartoon character you, or your offspring, can think of-- but FruitaBu (they’ve been making this healthy and sweet confection for more than 30 years) travels well and if you open the compact pack at the corner where it says “tear here”, you can almost eat it without getting the sweet, sticky goodness on your fingers.
The other version is a roll of dried but chewy pressed fruit, which, when unraveled, might be a little messy—just a little—but it is worth it. (Just have some of those moist hand-wipes available).
Both versions are thoroughly enjoyable, portable pick-me ups that can keep you going just a little longer, with no regrets.
