Does Your Family Love Fruit Snacks?

Does your family love fruit snacks?  Mott’s offered me an opportunity to sample their Medleys fruit snacks and I knew that was an offer that I couldn’t refuse.  After I had knee surgery, my husband started doing all the grocery shopping.  Each grocery trip resulted in at least 2 boxes of fruit snacks.  I couldn’t believe how many fruit snacks we were going through, yes, me included!  When you can’t walk around easily, you rely on others to get you things and even feed you.  When you are offered a snack, you smile and say thank you, no matter what it may be.  I use to get up and offer everyone a snack and before I knew it, I was stuck to the couch with my 5 year old tossing everyone 2 bags of fruit snacks while we watched tv at night.  The fruit snacks wrappers were everywhere.  We tried favorite character themed snacks, until they finally chose their fruit snack of choice, so with my family being “fruit snack connoisseurs,” the Mott’s Medleys review would be perfect for us!

Before I get started, I have to say that my family doesn’t eat that many vegetables,  so the thought of their taste isn’t always that appealing to everyone in our household.  The Mott’s Medleys fruit flavored snacks are made with real fruit and vegetable juice with natural flavors and colors.  I like fruit juice, but do NOT like to drink vegetable juice, so I was very interested in seeing if my family could taste a difference with these fruit flavored snacks.  Guess what…no one even sensed a difference with these fruit snacks.  I threw a few of the snack pouches on the counter and watched them go.  I was given two flavors, the berry and the assorted fruit.  I favored the assorted fruit because I love the orange ones, but I would buy either flavor again.

I’m going to compare the nutritional contents to the last box of fruit snacks that my husband picked up so we can get a true comparison from my pantry.
