Beauty in Strength

Hello friends!  How are you on this first day of the work week?  I hope your day went smoothly, but if it didn’t, how about ANOTHER giveaway for you?

Recently, Bare Fruit Snacks sent me a bag of their 100% organic, baked-dried, cinnamon apple chips made with Washington State apples to try!

As soon as I received the package, I did what I always do to a packaged good, and turned it over to check the Nutrition Facts and Ingredient list.  I could not be more pleased!!!  One serving is only 58 calories with no fat and 2 grams of dietary fiber.  The ingredients?  Few and familiar!  The only ingredients are organic apples and organic cinnamon!  That’s it folks, and that’s honestly all these little chips need.

These crisp and healthy chips are absolutely delicious and nutritious!  Bare Fruit bakes their chips in a way that the natural sugars caramelize on the outside,  creating a sweet and tart flavor combination while making them perfectly crunchy. One bag contains 30 apples, and they are such a wonderful snack option for kids and adults alike.

Bare Fruit Apple Chips are certified organic, which means they are produced to strict USDA guidelines with no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, or antibiotics.  They are also manufactured in a nut free facility, are gluten free, Kosher, and free of lactose as well as trans-fat.  Bare Fruit contains no cholesterol or added preservatives or sugar. These chips are also GMO free, and they do not use any wheat or other allergen causing ingredients.   In fact, there is NOTHING artificial.  The apple chips are all natural, whole fruit that is baked – not fried or freeze dried.

For those with special diets – those with Celiac, vegans, vegetarians, those on the Paleo diet, etc. – these are for you! I can’t wait to try the other varieties of their chips and dried fruit.

If I couldn’t love the product enough already, I looked into the company a bit more and found that at Bare Fruit they focus their energy on not using energy. By 2013, they will be 100% carbon neutral as they farm in a socially responsible way.  All of their fruit is home-grown here in the U.S.,  reducing carbon emissions and supporting the US economy. They control the process from their Organic Orchards through their exclusive Bake-Dried processing, and they use no additional preservatives or chemicals ensuring that their customers are given the very best.

Ready for the best part?  Bare Fruit is giving one Beauty in Strength reader a chance to win a case of their cinnamon apple chips!  All you need to do is like Bare Fruit on Facebook to enter!  The giveaway ends on Monday, March 11th.

For those of you interested in purchasing Bare Fruit snacks, they are available at various retailers. You can use the store locator to search for one near you! No retailers nearby? Not a problem. You can order products online in the  online shop.

Good luck, and happy snacking!
