Holiday Gift Guide – Polaner Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spread

 

I found the sweetest stocking stuffer idea. New from Polaner, Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spread. 

The fruit flavor spread is sweetened with pure maple syrup! The fruity goodness is enhanced with the delicious richness of maple. The real fruit spread comes in four delectable flavors. 

Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spread

Peach

Raspberry

Blueberry

Strawberry

I had the pleasure of tasting two of the new Polaner fruit spreads. The Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spread Peach flavor is a scrumptious looking golden peach color. The flavor bursts with fresh ripened peach. The maple balances out with the perfect amount of sweetness with out being overpowering. This spread is amazing on plain toast or can be used for making spectacular desserts and treats. I can see serving the peach flavor with homemade French toast or making a drizzle over a bread pudding.  

One of my favorite flavors in just about anything is raspberry. The Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spread Raspberry flavor is intensely delicious! The tartness of the raspberry blends wonderfully with the rich sweet maple flavor. I could eat this one by the spoonful right out of the jar! It has a gorgeous deep red color with a very inviting aroma. I served this on crackers and could not stop eating it. Polaner has included a recipe for making a Raspberry Baked Brie using the raspberry flavor spread. I would love to make this for the holidays….if I have any spread left.

These spreads are made with 4 ingredients, are Gluten-Free, Kosher Certified, and contain no artificial colors or flavors. 

The new Polaner Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spreads are starting to hit the market shelves. They are being released on the East coast first then coming nationally. They are presently not in my area, but I hope they arrive soon. I will be watching my local market as well as the Polaner web site for online ordering. 

Add a little sweetness to your holidays. Try Polaner Fruit & Maple Premium Fruit Spreads!

Crispy Green, the #1 Freeze-Dried Fruit Snack Brand, Gets Spectacular New Makeover!

CRISPY GREEN’S EYE-POPPING, NEW LOOK

The leading freeze-dried fruit snack in the nation just got a new look, designed to get your attention and better reflect its wholesome, single ingredient – 100% fruit!  The bold brand color palette and added “focus on fruit” was a collaborative design effort by Crispy Green’s brand and packaging design firms, Fastlane Communications, LLC and Foerstel Design, LLC.

The brand makeover includes a new logo, logo icon, typography and photography treatments, primary and secondary color palette and supporting messaging platform to support its active, healthy lifestyle positioning.

Angela Liu, Founder and CEO of Crispy Green stated, “As Crispy Green continues to lead in the freeze-dried fruit category, the timing was perfect for a brand upgrade.  We couldn’t be more pleased with the results of this major collaborative effort and are very eager to unveil it to the public!”

The new brand launch also includes a completely redesigned website (www.crispygreen.com). Consumers will now be able to zero in on the information they seek – quickly and easily. For example, they’ll be able to find a store in their area that sells Crispy Fruit and instantly discover which items are in stock through the state-of-the-art store locator.

Crispy Green’s new packaging will be rolling out in stores throughout June and beyond as it replenishes orders in over 5000 retail stores that currently carry Crispy Green today.

The new branded “healthy living line-up” better reflects the product quality, taste and healthy energy vibe that has made the Crispy Green brand the #1 freeze-dried fruit snack in the U.S., according to six-month Nielsen data, ending 12/31/17.

To further amplify its brand evolution, Crispy Green continues to grow its targeted advertising, mobile and digital content marketing programs as well as its brand ambassador and influencer relationships, which are further enhanced through the company’s robust social media activities. This includes continual development and promotion of its consumer food trend, thought leadership and healthy lifestyle website, Smart Lifebites, which provides fun, nutrition and fitness tips, along with yummy recipes and other small “bites” of information viewers can use to make healthier choices.

All Crispy Fruit snacks are available in convenient, single-serving “grab & go” bags (MSRP: $1.49 each) or a “family” six-pack that includes six, single-serving bags (MSRP: $7.99). Each bag provides approximately one serving of fruit and 55 calories or less per bag. For more on Crispy Fruit and nutritional labeling information, visit www.crispygreen.com/products/apple.

My Thoughts:

With summer here I'm always looking for healthy snacks. In my area all the shops and restaurants are booming with greasy and sugary foods and desserts. It makes it more difficult to avoid temptation. Crispy Green makes it easy to ensure my fruit intake is consistent. I can enjoy these on the go, at home, or while working.

Pictured is some of my favorites from the line. Apple, banana, pear, and tangerine. The flavor was the most surprising. I wasn't expecting for it to be as flavorful as they were but it tasted perfectly pure! The best part was the nice crisp bite. Nothing was too hard like other dried fruit I've tried in the past. These tasted completely natural and normal as if I was eating a fruit from the health food store.

If you're looking for a fun and easy way to get your fruit in I'd highly recommend Crispy Greens line of snacks! The only critique I have is that I wish the bag had a ziplock top. Other than that,  I absolutely adored them and am looking forward to keeping these in my routine.

Bi-monthly Fruit For Thought Gift box - #Coupon & #Giveaway

There are lots of subscription boxes out there, but the bi-monthly Fruit for Thought box is definitely unique. Not only does their box give you a unique blend of beauty products, housewares, and delicious treats, it also has a fun fruit theme! The theme for June/July was Blueberry Peach Cobbler, and everything inside the box was tied into that theme. 

I was impressed with the box as soon as I received it. They make a lovely presentation. Even the tissue paper was peach-colored and it was wrapped in a ribbon with different fruits on the material. Inside some of the items were individually wrapped in peach paper or in little baskets that look like fruit carriers. It was all so cute!  Of course, what was inside the package was even better than the wrapping. Here's a little about each product. 

This is a blueberry peach pedicure set. It comes with everything you need for one complete pedicure including a foot bath bomb, mask, cotton ball, file, and of course, foot lotion scented with blueberry and peach,

To satisfy your sweet tooth, we have some peach cotton candy. This was really good. I don't even like cotton candy normally, but the fruity flavor was much better than any other I've tried. There were also a handful of blueberry taffies. 

This adorable little basket included a kitchen towel with blueberries on it and a delightful blueberry lip balm.

This adorable little plate was wrapped in peach wrapping paper. It's a great ornament for your desk at work or your coffee table.

Last but not least, we have Summer Peach scented shampoo & conditioner. Not only does it smell amazing, it also leaves your hair soft and shiny.

I really love this box. It's such a nice blend of products, that fits the seasons as well as having a fruity theme.  If all that isn't enough reason to love them, they are also based right here in my home state of New Jersey. We are practically neighbors!  If you're looking for a fun box to treat a friend or yourself, The Fruit For Thought Box is a sweet way to pamper yourself or someone you love. There are a few different option to chose from. The full sized box includes 5-7 items and costs $39.99 a month plus shipping.  There is also a mini  box for $26.99 which includes 3-4 products from the larger box plus shipping. The next theme is Pink Lemonade! Be sure to order one now before they are all gone!
