I have really gotten into the habit of label studying when it comes to food. It really blows my mind the amount of useless crap that some snacks contain! Now I am not anti Sugar really, but added sweeteners including sugar and additives are so unnecessary!

If you read an earlier post then you can see my frustration as the cost of eating healthy! My husband and I are following the South Beach Diet and it is a no crap diet. We are to avoid added sugar, bad carbs, starches, etc this is where my label reading started.

I am happy to say that Funky Monkey snacks are all that I hope for in a snack, Healthy( 100% real fruit, and NO sugar added!), readily available, and relatively inexpensive.

Funky Monkey is freeze dried whole fruits with no sugar added. Yes parents you can get your children a serving of fruit in each fun to eat snack pack. These snacks come in seven funky flavors to please everyone.

Unlike dried fruits that are tough and endlessly chewy Funky Monkey snack are crisp and sort of melt in your mouth. My 11 year old daughter really enjoyed the texture, she compared them to potato chips in crunch and fresh fruit in taste.

My toddler well he didn't dig them but he is funny with textures and new foods.

Cost.. You can get a package for about $1.85 if order in a bulk 12 pack of One Flavor from Amazon or about $2.25 for a Funky Monkey Variety Pack of 12. They are also available at your local Kroger, Hyvee, Super Target and other retail outlets.

If you are looking for a wholesome, Healthy snack for your kids or even for you to enjoy give them a try you may find a new favorite!


I was sent three pouches of Funky Monkey Fruit Snack for the purpose of writing my review. No other monetary compensation was received. My opinions are my own and are honest, your opinions my differ.
