 Some Unusual Flavors But Heavy on Bananas August 30, 2008

I wanted to try these because the name was catchy, the packaging was bright and colorful and I really like the taste and crunch of freeze dried fruit for snacking. I also purchased this item because it contained a variety of flavors to taste test. Unfortunately, For a variety pack I didn't find a whole lot of variety. Two of the four flavors were primarily bananas -- Purple Funk (bananas with an acai coating) and Bananamon (bananas with a cinnamon). The flavor I preferred was Jivalime (pineapple and lime). It has a very robust flavor. The lime is strong and makes it very tart. The Carnival mix was just OK. This was a mixture of banana, pineapple, apple, papaya, and raisins. The pieces were very small in this mix. I would have preferred bigger pieces of papaya, apple and pineapple.
There are several other freeze-dried fruit mixes that I personally like better - perhaps because they have more traditional flavors. The Crispy Green product line is a favorite of mine and is comparable price-wise to the Funky Monkey products. For great peach flavor try Crispy Green Fruit Snacks, Crispy Peaches, 2.2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3). I also like the Crispy Green dried pineapple snack Crispy Green Fruit Snacks, Crispy Pineapples, 2.2-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 3). With Crispy Green you get 3 individual serving bags inside of a bigger bag. You actually get 9 bags of snacks. The extra packaging really does keep the fruit crispy and great tasting for a long time.
Sensible Foods also makes a delicious crispy snack called Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Snacks, Cherry Berry, 0.75-Ounce Pouches (Pack of 24) - great crunch and flavor. Cherry Berry is my personal favorite but Sensible Foods has several other tasty flavors, too, including a tropical fruit mix.

My favorites were the Purple Funk (bananas w/acai) and the Bananamon (bananas w/cinnamon). My least favorite was the Carnival Mix because the pieces were all really small and a few times I bit into something hard (I probably wouldn't buy that one ever again). Freeze-dried fruit makes sense because it won't spoil and the fruit doesn't lose any nutrients in the process. If it weren't for the price, I'd order more.
 Yummm! May 2, 2008

These are great! I feel like Im eating candy, its hard to believe they are just fruit! I love them all. The java lime is a bit sour so if you dont like sour these might not be for you. The rest are all sweet. I love these and will buy them again.
