I would love to try the lime or the mango. My daughter loves Trader Joes freeze dried mangos. They don't have any ingredients other than mangos. I would be interested in trying these with the orange ; )

Review & Giveaway: Funky Monkey Snacks

I recently received a sample box of Funky Monkey Snacks to try out.

Here's some information about them (courtesy Funky Monkey):

Funky Monkey Snacks are a line of freeze-dried fruit that are 100% natural, 100% real fruit, and 100% delicious – with three servings of fruit in each 1oz bag!  Our “fruit that crunches” provides the ultimate snack, fusing the great taste, smell, and nutritional goodness of fresh fruit with the crunch and convenience of conventional snacks.  Here are some additional Funky Monkey highlights:

•       Funky Monkey Snacks have no added colors, flavors, sugars, or preservatives

•       Our special, proprietary manufacturing process provides for a crunchier texture vs. conventional freeze-drying techniques

•       We use full slices and pieces (not dices) of delicious, fresh fruit

•       Funky Monkey is made in Brazil using tropical fruits at the peak of freshness

•       Our products are gluten-free and are certified Kosher

•       One of our 7 flavors, Purple Funk, also includes açai, a berry from the Amazon that is viewed as the newest superfood

I had the kids try out some of the flavors - favorites were the bananamon (banana cinnamon) and applemom (apple cinnamon), and I liked the JiveAlime (pineapple with lime) and the MangOJ (mango orange juice).  

I have to say, the texture took some getting used to. We are not used to our fruit crunchy. And the açai flavor on the Purple Funk was just plain weird. I can see getting the JiveAlime or the MangOJ again.  The kids weren't huge fans, sadly...

Still, maybe they will be a hit for your family.

The good people at Funky Monkey are offering a free sample pack (1 bag of each of their 7 flavors) as a giveaway (US residents only).  Fun AND free!  How can you go wrong with that?

All you have to do to enter is leave a comment below letting me know which flavor you think you might like best.  Check out the Funky Monkey site so you can see all of their neat flavors available.  The winner will be chosen next Friday, October 8, at around 6 PM.  

Please remember, any comment without a way to contact you will be disqualified.  One entry per person, please.  If the winner doesn't get back to me within 48 hours of the announcement, I reserve the right to pick a new winner.

Lunches: 10.1.10

I chaperoned a field trip with the Girl on October 1, and there was no time for snack, so here is what we each had for lunch:

She had a ham sandwich on rainbow pain de mie, a granola bar, a string cheese, half a kiwi, and some grapes.

I had a cheese sandwich on a mini blueberry bagel, some pretzels, grapes, and the last of the Funky Monkey snack - MangOJ flavor.

Lunch: 9.27.10

Happy Monday!

Snack is a mini waffle sandwich with nutella, some strawberries, and a juice.

Lunch is half a kiwi, some grapes, a bagel sandwich, a couple of my vanilla cookie bites in the little yellow container, a string cheese, applesauce in the pink topped container, and some jivalime dried pineapple with lime from Funky Monkey.

Lunch: 9.24.10

Happy Friday!

For snack, the girl has a mini waffle sandwich with a little nutella, half a kiwi, and some juice.

For lunch, she has a jelly sandwich (we are out of ham) on pink swirl pain de mie, a chewy granola bar, a string cheese, some sliced apple, and some applemon (apple cinnamon) Funky Monkey freeze dried fruit, packed in our Easy Lunchbox container.

Lunch: 9.22.10

I got a box of Funky Monkey snacks in to review today. And I will do so, but we have to try them first!  (And then, keep your eyes open for a giveaway!)

So, for snack, she has the last of the sweet rolls and a banana, along with a juice.

And for lunch, she has some Bananamon Funky Monkey (Banana and cinnamon) along with a couple pieces of her brother's Carnaval Blend Funky Monkey, and then also half a kiwi, a turkey sandwich on pink swirl pain de mie, and a cheese stick, packed in our Easy Lunchbox.
