Foodie Friday


We were camping and hiking last weekend, and I wasn't able to post anything on Foodie Friday (See Figure 1):

So, this Friday, I want to tell you about a fabulous snack we enjoy in the great outdoors (and use to supplement many a lunch in the great indoors, too!).


Archer Farms' fruit strips are what I consider a healthy version of the fruit roll up. Incorporating enough fruits and veggies in our diet can be challenging, but these real fruit strips (primary ingredients are fruit purees and juices) make that task a bit easier. Oh, and the fact that they're organic AND sold at Target doesn't hurt either!


These quick snacks come in a number of fruity flavors, such as pomegranate, apricot, strawberry, raspberry, and tropical. I especially like they they have only 45 calories and include 1 gram of fiber (you'd be surprised at the things that SHOULD have fiber, but DON'T!), which comes out to 1 WW point. In fact, you could even eat 2 of these guys and still fall within the 1 point range. Pretty sweet, eh?
