Be honest, now. Do you get in enough servings of fruits and vegetables every day? I’m one of the most food-conscious people I know, and I still don’t eat as much produce as I should. And if you’re the parent of a kid or a teen, you know how tough it can be to keep the offspring on the dietary “straight and narrow.” Well, I’ve found something that makes this daily struggle just a little easier.
Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Snacks are satisfyingly crispy morsels of dried fruit, dried corn, or roasted soy beans. They’re a snacking choice without the usual associated junk ingredients and added sugar, and they’ll help you get more produce into your diet into the bargain.
One of Sensible Foods’ more unusual offerings: organic Sweet Corn. Crunch dried and surprisingly satisfying.
If you think that all dried fruits and vegetables are the same, you’re missing the point. Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Snacks have a proprietary drying process. Their products contain no genetically-modified organisms (GMOs) or gluten. These fruits and veggies are dried in such a way that their valuable natural enzymes are preserved. Each portable pouch, ideal for toting along to soccer practice or the office, is equivalent to a one-half cup serving of fruit or vegetable. And some of their offerings (though not all) are organic.

Most importantly, they’re fun to eat, and the flavors are terrific. I think I like the Organic Sweet Corn best. Drying intensifies the sweetness and “corny” flavor, of course, but the deep crunch here is very pleasing and really makes you feel as though you’ve had something substantial to eat. I enjoy the Orchard Blend, too, with its combination of apple, peach, and apricot.

Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Snacks are sold from an increasing range of venues. Natural foods stores, drug stores, hardware stores, vending machines, college and corporate campuses — they’re even offered on the Google campus. You can buy them online by the case or in 14 or 16 bag assortments.
Sensible Foods organic Cherry Berry & organic Apple Harvest.
If you want a case with different flavors, the company might be able to work with you; call or e-mail for more information. I’m told that the website should be re-done soon to offer online buyers more choices. Look for the brightly-colored pouches, and get a little more sense into your diet with maximum convenience and good taste!
